This week, I have been complimented like crazy about how I have lost weight!! All of a sudden, BAM!! Everyone is saying something to me. It feels pretty good. However, I was not prepared for the compliments,. People are asking me what I am doing, and it never occurred to me to have an answer. I guess it is a like a dream come true that you are not ready for. I just tell people I cut carbs and eat very differently. But if feels good and is great incentive for me!!

congrats!! I'm sure you will think of something to reply with :-)

Congratulations!

i just tell people I limit carbs and eat less-- which is completely the truth

Good for you. Not knowing what to say when complimented is a nice problem to have. Don't feel like you have to tell them about your band, it's your bussiness. I like the idea of just saying your watching your carbs and eating less. Also- as a response to a compliment, I usually say something like "thanks for noticing". Best wishes!
