Got one.

[eeek1110]

I got my first "Wow, you have lost weight!" after my loss of 20lbs. It took along enough but it sure did feel good! I've still got another half a stone to go to my target weight but I'll get there. Keep focused everyone!

[Hidden]

Well done! It's great when people start to notice isn't it!

I'm sure that you will hear more and more compliments as you reach your goal. Nearly there👍

[eeek1110 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you Yoyonomore! No one really noticed the extra weigh I put on as I was VERY good at hiding it. Maybe that was one of the problems as I reckon I was kidding myself too. It is so much easier in winter with baggy jumpers.

[Hidden in reply to eeek1110]

I was also very good at hiding it, but remember people are polite as well as unobservant. But people have definitely begun to notice my weight loss now for the simple fact I'm back in jeans again. Although the people who notice but don't say anything about the weight loss may also be the same people who never judged you in the first place for putting it on. It's a personal journey and importantly we notice it in ourselves

Just came across some old posts I'd been following and saw this reply of yours Ruth.. that's a very good point about the people who don't appear to notice weightloss ...I used to think it might be sour grapes, but maybe they were simply non judgmental !

[Hidden in reply to elliebath]

Exactly

[sueper]

Well done on your compliment and your progress so far! 7 lb to your target weight is great

[eeek1110 in reply to sueper]

Thank you sueper. I think the last 7lb is going to be the hardest but I will do it!

[Hidden]

Congratulations on your success, and here's to the last 7Ib 🎉 it's a fab feeling when others recognise all the hard we have put in.

Have a great week and continue to enjoy.

😇

[eeek1110 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you flossie! Hope you have a great week too.

[andrewleeone]

Hey Hey Hey! Thats wonderful to hear! 20 lbs is a huge achievement! I bet you look younger too!

[eeek1110 in reply to andrewleeone]

Thank you Andrew! I feel younger and have sorted out all my frumpy clothes for the charity shop. Have a great week!

[NoMoreJunk Maintainer 2st 7lbs Healthy BMI]

Amazing, that must be such a buzz! You will get there!

[eeek1110 in reply to NoMoreJunk]

Thanks NoMoreJunk. Love your name and hope you are doing well. A turning point for me was when I accepted I was addicted to sugar which is junk of course so I do try to avoid sweet things. Good for my teeth too!

[3rd-Time-Here 6lbs]

Fab, you must feel great. You have done amazingly well so far and should be very proud that you are 2/3 of the way to your target. Enjoy the compliments, I'm sure there will be more to come.

[eeek1110 in reply to 3rd-Time-Here]

Thank you mrsg3. People don't notice me as I wear dark clothes most of the time but today I was pretty in pink.

[nomoremuffin]

Fantastic achievement - a little envious of it too - I am sure you will whip through the last 7 pounds. Best of luck!

[eeek1110 in reply to nomoremuffin]

Love your name! It is making me think about Marks&Sprarks lemon muffins though. I think they are 440 calories and worst still is the carrot cake as that's 835 calories a slice. Yikes! Have a good week!

[nomoremuffin in reply to eeek1110]

Ahh - thanks for liking my name - and I know about those M&S Muffins - but I have forsaken them probably forever. I now just have to get rid of the muffin top...

[trafford1]

Wow indeed and you deserve it after losing 20 lbs. That is great to hear well done eeek1110

[Beccylove]

Well done, even though we are doing this for ourselves, it is nice when our efforts are noticed by others! X

[Dave1961 25kg]

SO awesome - I am SO happy for you.

Doesn't it just feel GREAT when someone notices ?

[nar121184]

Yay! That's awesome! Well done you. xx

[Zest Healthy BMI]

Hi Eeek1110,

Wow, that's great that you've lost 20 pounds, really brilliant!

Good luck with the remaining half a stone. Here's to keeping focused!

Lowcal

[Hidden]

Yeah; you leave 'em gasping in awe and admiration, Eeek - worth every morsel not eaten

[killfatbecky]

Thats great! Cant wait for that day to come for me!

[elliebath Maintainer]

I was just looking back at some old posts and wonder how you've been doing since your loss of 20 lbs ? Still maintaining ok or regained? Either way, lots of us on here still to encourage and support ! 😊
