Woo Hoo! Once I hit the 25 pound loss, I've been getting comments from people at work, my DH's friends and my family on a daily basis ! What a great way to keep motivated. It's so nice when you hear someone walking BEHIND you say, "Wow, Melinda, you're really looking good! Are you still on the low carb thing?"

My answer: "Why, Yes! Yes I am"

This is so great! Of course, you know you're doing this for YOU, but positive reinforcement from others can't hurt. Enjoy it completely!

You're right, it is so motivating when you start getting recognized for all your hard work! Good for you, you are doing great.

Isn't it just the best feeling when people notice. It seems that the 20-25 lb mark is when others really see it. Just makes you want to keep going, doesn't it? WOOHOOO I know how you feel!!!!!

It's so nice to get positive reinforcement in the form of a compliment, isn't it? I mean, we all know we're doing this for US and for our health, but hey, it just really sets your feet on cloud 9 when someone else notices too!

Way to go!

Great Job Melinda. I just hit that 25 lb mark also and it always feels nice to get compliments from people who used to never say "boo" to you before. Keep up the great work!

Yeah, Melinda!

Doesn't it feel great to get compliments?
I've actually gotten somebody at work interested in my life style. I hope she'll take it on!

Never give up! Never surrender!

Melinda,

It's funny that you wrote about this today...Just the last couple of weeks people have been noticing my weight loss, too. It sort of feels weird at first, but I'm beginning to get used to it now. Congratulations on your weight loss, and keep up the good work!
