Today someone noticed I lost weight!!!

Today was the first day since starting this journey that someone who didn't know I had surgery and was losing weight asked me if I had lost weight. When I went to get my car from the valet (I have to valet park my car because the parking structure at work is so crowded that they have to constantly move cars around) the valet asked me if I had lost weight. I said "yes" and he said "I can tell". He asked me how much and I told him. He was like "wow". I was thrilled! It made me feel so good and that my hard work is paying off and that other people can see it. thumbup.gif

I can relate! It feels so good and makes you want to work harder! Congrats!

WTG Jen! :success1:

Awesome~ You should feel GREAT~

That's a great feeling...happy for you!

AWESOME! Congrats on your NSV :) It's always such a great feeling to have someone outside the lap band bubble see and comment on all our hard work :)

You definitely have lost a lot of weight!! It does feel so wonderful when someone notices and often those closest to us can't see it because they see us on a daily basis.

Yeah! That is the best feeling in the world. I have had alot of people at work notice i have lost weight, had to get new scrubs as mine were so baggy and falling down. LOL! congrats on your weight loss!

Whoo-hoo! Congratulations! The best compliments are from those who don't know your journey - the others are nice but I can 'write them off' as my friends trying to be supportive. You can't write this off, Girlfriend!:lol:

congratulations, doesn't it feel great! I had five people (yes, five, I counted them!) comment yesterday. I suspect it was more obvious because I had been away from work for five days. Enjoy the compliments and I hope they keep on coming for you.

Congratulations, Jeannette!!!! Keep up the great work! I'm just two weeks post surgery but have lost over half of my excess weight already (most of my weight was lost during my pre-op diet). I'm proud of you! Stay motivated - you're doing a great job!

WAY TO GO! And those comments will be heading your way more often with this journey. :) Best wishes!
