Oh my goodness. I didn't know how good it could make you feel when someone you haven't seen in a while has noticed your weight loss. I have lost 50 pounds (I stopped keeping count since 8/20), and I went home for the first time this weekend in almost 3 months.
The comments I got from former co-workers, friends, associates, sorority sisters, fraternity brothers and family members was the biggest self-esteem boost I could even imagine.
I was getting discouraged because I couldn't tell a difference, but now I see all my hard work is not in vain. I know it shouldn't matter what others say or think - but FORGET THAT! LOL Because it does matter.

Have a great holiday,

Lissa

AMEN SISTER!!!!!
It does make a difference.
I was stalling this week on the scales and feeling a little down til I went to work today and the girls at work just kept saying man we can tell your diets working and then I came home and my mom who lives next door said I can't believe how much weight you are losing. :) I have been on phen since August 24th.You are doing great you hang in there, and when someone compliments you, you take it girl cause you have worked hard for it. :D

Lissa, I know how those comments can help with the motivation! You've done a great job and should be so proud of that. I'm glad people are noticing, sometimes when it takes awhile for people to see (since usually most people don't until you've lost all the weight!!!) it can get discouraging. I'm glad you have positive feedback from family!!!

Lissa, I cannot wait to feel the way you did when someone noticed your weight loss. I think when that happens to me..that will be all the encouragement I need. It has been so long ( 10yrs) since I had a figure, I truly don't know what it feels like not to seek out clothes that hid hips and belly. Good Job!!!
