Smile Someone noticed today!!

I know I've lost approximately 10 ish pounds since I started on June 25th but today, at work my co-worker said- "I'm sorry... but you really look skinnier!!" It made me feel so good. I mean I can tell the difference, as can my BF...but to have someone else notice feels amazing so I just wanted to share. I know when others share their good feelings it always inspires me!

Good low-carbing thoughts to all!!

Tracy

Yeah, congrats!! I had someone notice too! I hadn't seen her in about a month and when I did, her jaw dropped and she said "Oh my God! You have lost weight, look how thin your face looks!" And it was the BEST feeling!

So congrats!!!

That is a wonderfull feeling when out of the blue someone notices!!! You are doing a great job!!!

I have lost 15 lbs in 19 days no one has said a word to me yet. I have not told anyone around me about the lose (as I have lost it before and it came back), I feel I might jinx it. I am looking forward to that day when hubby takes a double take!

Oh that is such a good feeling. I had someone from work tell me that I looked like I lost alot of weight and I look skinny. I was like...oh I am far from skinny...but I thanked her alot for saying that. It is such a motivator to continue doing this WOL.

Default Thanks!!

THanks for the encouragement everyone- it's really nice to share this stuff with good folks who are all on the same page.

Congrats to all of you on your losses as well. Soon- we will be blowing everyone away with our fabulous results, in addition to our renewed energy and positive attitudes (not that we are doing this to blow anyone away but ourselves, right?

WE can all do it! See were doing it right now!

Again, thanks for the support.

Good low-carb thoughts to all!

Tracy
