    It wasn't the best compliment at the time, in fact it hurt like a mofo and made me very upset and sad....but now..its the BEST compliement ever because I realise not only did I get healthier, but I dodged a real bullet there...

    My ex as he's walking out the door to go and live with another woman

    "You know if you hadn't lost all that weight we would still be together."

    Lauren

    sorry but that is hilarious. you lost all your baggage weightand however much your ex weighed all in one fell swoop. good job. let him be her problem. it's great when they walk themselves out the door

    this week i was getting my nails done & the nail tech (an older very small, quiet vietnamese lady) said to me: "do you work out a lot? you have beautiful shape"

    & what i appreciated so much abt this compliment is the fact that she recognized that hard work had been put into this shape... i'm sure there are plenty of ppl who look similar who eat whatever they want & never workout... but the fact that she could tell i put effort into it... made me smile :flowerforyou:

    I was talking to one of my friends and telling her how I had just bought a pair of jeans in the next size down (whoo hoo) which I happened to be wearing!! I was telling her how I had bought them at a consignment shop because it gets expensive to keep buying clothes when you are losing weight, especially when I know that this will not be my final size!! So, I was relaying that it was cool that I had actually found a dollar in the back pocket which made the jeans 5.00 :-) She says to me...." I didn't want to say anything cause I don't want you to think anything weird... but your *kitten* looks great in those jeans" I thought it would be a long time before I would hear words like that!! I know it was only from a friend, and it would have been great to hear it from the opposite sex.... but it was still great to hear it!!!

    Last week my brother in law and his gf said, we just noticed you've lost a lot of weight. it's only been about 20 lbs ish, but It's more *compact* than what it was. So I didn't mind the *a lot* portion of the comment. Then yesterday, my husband said "you're skinny" I know it's no swooning statement, but since it's from my husband that sees me everyday, it means more than anything anyone else could say.

    Well, I see my best friend like once a month or so because we live like an hour a part and have hectic lives, and every time she saw me she would rave about how great I was looking. Then I didn't see her for a few months, and just saw her recently, she told me that I inspired HER to lose weight and now all together she has lost 50lbs! I was so happy that my success inspired someone else's!

    I didn't recognize you. A compliment of utter shock(a priceless face I might add) from a life long friend at her wedding when her mom saw me. I had walked next to her casually said hi and she smiled and said hi back. I then referenced something that would have been an inside joke with us, and she looked like she had seen a ghost. The last time she has seen me I was in my size 22. I was rocking the 6/8 that I currently am

    My BFF and I started this journey together I stuck with it but the stresses of her job and getting her masters stole her away. We were out to dinner together with a bunch of friends when I stood up she asked me,

    "Have you lost more weight?"
    I Said, "Nope just the same but I'm losing inches now, why?"
    "Because when you stood up I just wanted to push you."

    I love that woman.

    I recently got 2. I went out with a group of friends and after quite a few drinks one of them said I looked awesome. It may have not really made a difference to some but it made me glow! Then I got called a skinny *****. :)

    When my ten year old was a baby he would always rub my "bingo wings". Any time he is down and wants cuddles he will rub my wings... he then started adding the phrase "lots and lots of blood" while rubbing them using a vampire voice. The other day he was down in the dumps and curled up on the couch with me and was rubbing my wing and stopped dead in his tracks and said "where'd all the blood go? You are a quart low"

    ummm I will take it!

    I have been really fortunate to have a lot of supportive friends and family and have gotten a lot of compliments and nice comments from people...

    my favorites so far have been from a friend of a friend who saw me for the first time in about 6 months and was like "you look fantastic--you're just melting away," a guy friend who saw me in a tank top last summer and said, "don't take this the wrong way but you are TOTALLY rockin' that tank top" (he's married so it's probably good his wife was not present at the time), and from my brother--my bro lives in another state and comes out to visit once a year--I invited him to run with me at my running group. As we were starting our warm up he looked over and said "I can't believe how skinny you are" and "I can't believe you can keep up with me"--last year when he came out to visit I had lost some weight but I definitely couldn't keep up with him running!
