My FAVORITE NSV compliment -
Someone at work yesterday said, "Jill, you look so healthy". Doesn't get much better than that. I feel healthy, too. More work to do but a great ride so far.

My husband NEVER gives me compliments. Ever. It doesn't matter how much I lose, what I wear, a new hairstyle, anything. He says he "wasn't raised that way". What way??? Too...
