People are noticing!

Even though I haven't lost a huge pile of weight yet, it is showing!  I've had 2 compliments this week from people I haven't seen since before my surgery and it feels so good! :)

I was writing my registration exam for nursing yesterday, and one of my old classmates came up to me and said "Wow...it looks like you are melting, I didn't recognize you at first!"

When I picked my daughter up from school today, her teacher from last year called me over and said "You are looking great, how are you doing it?"

Gosh, what's it going to be like after 100 pounds are gone? lol

It's just nice to know that it is starting to show!  I can feel it in my clothes (my pants actually fell down when I was walking today), but I  can't see it in the mirror yet.  Felt very good to know that other people can see it!

Isn't it  wonderful? I have people noticing more now too. It's great positive reinforcement, that's for sure! Congrats on your nsv!

That's awesome!  I had surgery the day before you! I'm also down about 40 pds since opti but since I got home on the 17 Dec I've mabe lost 5 pds & keep going uo & down the same 3 pds!  I've even eating my proteins, measuring everything, drinking my water &  exercising!  I know I should throw out my scale but it's still discouraging!!

That's great. Buy yourself some new pants and you will start to see the difference. Even if they are from a second hand store.
