From my husband, "You have been working so hard and you look so sexy lately!"

My coworkers are now calling me Skinny. The funniest is my SIL's mother, she has altizer (sp?) disease and when she saw me the other day she said I have loss a lot of weight. Now when someone who has a memory disability notices you have loss weight, you have really loss weight .

This should be an interesting topic of conversation .

This is from my husband. " Baby you look so good with the weight you have lost."

I was standing there visiting with a friend I hadn't seen in several months and after a few minutes of chatting she blurted out, "WHAT HAPPENED to you?". I was somewhat taken aback because I couldn't figure out what she was talking about. She studied me real hard and asked, "Did you change your hair?". No. "Did you get a face lift?". I laughed. She then said, "I don't know WHAT you did but you look ten years younger!". I'm still smiling.

Believe me, after working with a group of folks for as many years as I have, and you lose 62 pounds, people notice! I get lots and lots of comments.

One of my co-workers introduced me at a meeting the other day as "The Incredible Shrinking Man". I was walking the pups the other day, and a foxy neighbor lady working in her yard hollered at me and said she saw me coming out of Kroger and had to do a double-take... RRRoooowwwlll (dodges a smack sure to come from DW). It goes on. It does feel pretty good after so many years of fretting about my appearance.

I'm going back to Kansas in a couple of weeks on business (most of my family and old school friends are there) and it will be interesting to see what is said there.

This from a parishioner with whom I was having lunch to get acquainted. When I told him how long I had been married, he looked stunned and said, "You are older than you look!" It's a backhanded compliment, I know, but it really made me laugh. I'll be 60 next month, and I WORK at looking younger!

My DH compliments me almost every day! He is wonderful.

Last week I saw the dentist for a 6month checkup. The women in the office all told me that I looked absolutely wonderful!

30 lbs. shows! Yay!

here's mine. a male co worker of mine asked me why i wasn't having a piece of cake & while i was stumbling for an answer he asked "what that diet of yours?" i said yes. he asked me how much weight i wanted to lose & i told him about 30 more lbs & with that he exclaimed, " WHAT? YOU AINT BIG!" i thought it was funny. so it made me feel like maybe people don't see me as big as i think i look.
of course my husband has also been making comments about my butt getting smaller.

I reported this before; but, heck - it still gives me a warm feeling and it fits this thread!

A about 2 months ago, I had a doctor appointment and told him I'd lost 30 lbs since January on a low carb diet. He looked at me and said, "I am so proud of you."

One of my colleage just recently noticed me in a different light. She knows that i started doing Atkins a couple of months ago....but only just noticed the 'new me' a couple of days ago

She just said "Gosh you are looking skinny! How much weight have you lost? Are you still on Atkins?"

Who knows...i might be able to convert her to our WOL

Tonight when DH came home from work, he gave me a hug and said, "There's almost nothin' left of you, ribby." He could feel my ribs. LOL! That was a pretty good boost for me.

Cheers!

want to be 175 at least LOL

My 11-year-old daughter "measures" my weight loss by where her arms cross over when she hugs me. While hugging me this weekend she said, "Mom, you're skinny! I can touch my elbows now!" While I am far from skinny, it sure made me feel wonderful.
