9 compliments in less than two hours

So, I returned to work today after two week winter break. Within my first 20 minutes of being there, 5 different people approached me at different times; each saying how great I looked and asking if I had eaten over the break. In the hours to follow, 4 more people said similar things to me about how I am constantly losing and managing not to even gain over the holidays. I admit, I hardly eat cause I'm at my sweet spot, but I swear, although I can't be sure....I've only lost about 7 pounds in the last month (I made a habit to weigh myself less frequently). What are these people seeing??? They saw me three weeks ago and I am not much different. Anyway, any compliment, I'll take. My mother told me today that I appear to be 170 instead of 191....then, I couldn't help but to get on the scale tonight....and it said 193. Whoa, I gained 2 pounds!?!?!?!

Hi JMunks200,It Is wonderful to hear how well you are doing,when you get a compliment take it like a grain of salt,it is like seasoning to a well prepared meal,it is good how well you are doing,so don't beat your self up over 1 or 2 lbs,I think you will make it up on your next weigh in...good luck ...camille01

Congrats! Some people feel your positive altitude or your confidence. So they start paying more attention to you. And they notice all the changes.

Take all the compliments...they make you smile and remain positive...to me that equals continued success!! As long as I am positive I lose weight..when I am down..that scale always went the wrong way! I know it is mental but it works! Take care!!
