I seen this subject brought up somewhere else and I thought it was pretty interesting! For those of you whose weight loss is noticeable and others are commenting on it: Have you been called something referencing your weight loss? If so, which one was your favorite?

Mine was: Twiggy... LOL this one cracked me up!! I was walking through the halls at work and one of my GUY co-workers (they usually never comment on weight loss really) said "hey Twiggy!" LOL I said hey, then I realized he called me Twiggy. I said, "Did you just call me Twiggy? and laughed" He said "Yup!!" Hahaaa!!

I hear "Skinny" a lot.

Like "Hey, Skinny!"

I love it!

Slim, as I was walking past a co-worker. LOL I just chucked. Thinking to myself, not just yet. I'm working on it. But it caught me off guard. Made my day.

Deb

My office happens to be right next to our corporate "wellness director" who is also a fitness buff and kick boxing instructor. She has been super supportive and helped me find my trainer who I am working out with 3x a week. Every single day as she arrives to her office she stops by my door and says something - recently she has called me:

Skinny butt - which I would never been called prior to surgery!

Skinny mini

Slimmie Kimmie (not slimey Kimmie)

Disappearing Diva

The list goes on - I actually look forward to seeing her face everyday now - I used to dread seeing her - as she was the picture of true physical health and I was not! I am getting there though. I just realized this morning that I am 23.4 pounds away from my goal. Amazing! I love my sleeve!

Oh these are great!!! I just love trying to keep it positive, and though many of these remarks will take us off guard it's so nice to know that our efforts are showing.

@Kimmie: I love the Slimmie Kimmie... that's a really good one. I'm going to start calling you that now... heehee.

Ha ha - but LilMissDiva - I think you are owning the name Disappearing Diva now! Keep it going Irene- you are my mentor here!

Oh these are great!!! I just love trying to keep it positive, and though many of these remarks will take us off guard it's so nice to know that our efforts are showing.

@Kimmie: I love the Slimmie Kimmie... that's a really good one. I'm going to start calling you that now... heehee.

Aww Kimmie ((((hugs)))) - *choked up* I love this place!!!

This past Sunday we went to go see my parents. I was crossing the kitchen to do something for my mom and Dad & I passed mid kitchen. LOL He said "You're looking pretty skinny there, Slim" LMAO Best line to date for me.

I hear a lot of different comments, but I don't like any of them. The reason is that my brain is not caught up to my body or I just plainly refuse to believe any of them cause to me I'm still huge. (wow almost 2 years out and I still don't get it ! Amazing) but none the less, I worked with this tiny, tiny, tiny, Mexican girl named Iris. . she wasn't particularly cute or anything but she was tiny! I'll have to say about 4'9" and about 75lbs if not less. . .she looked like a walking skelaton. Now with the 150 lbs gone on me, I hear alot of this. . . "oh look, its IRIS! I really hate that!!!! Cause I'm not Iris. . .I'm no where near IRIS!!!! My legs still join up top and my butt still sticks out and I'm 200 lbs for heavens sake!!!!! Oh well life goes on!

"Mr. Sexy Butt" - this by an enormous woman at work. Being a guy I wasn't too offended, just startled a bit. No one has EVER called me sexy before or commented about by butt. well except for calling me "Hugh Jass" a few years ago

@Rootman, Whoa... HAHAA!! Mr. Sexy Butt, now THAT'S a great one! Probably one of the best I've heard!

Interesting post... I get called 'slim Jim' a lot in work!! Some days I take it, mostly I think they are taking the pi** 'cos I certainly don't feel slim!!! Funny how different our perception of our self is to how others see us!!!

I agree with you thinoneday... my head hasn't caught up with me... but then I do have a good amount to go! =]

My neighbour called me skinny mini, I ignored him and he said I'm talking to you!

My friend who hadn't seen me for a while and didin't know about the surgery said, where's the rest of you!

Today my 2 girls were in the car waiting for me to come out of the supermarket and they said mummy you're skinny we didn't recognise you!!

I have no idea how I would react as I have only had one person say "you have lost some weight". No one else has noticed that I am 70 lbs lighter. Making me wonder do I look different or not! Oh well keep on keepin on working my sleeve. I notice a difference so that is a positive.

My next-door neighbor and I have very different schedules and rarely see each other. She last saw me in February walking my dog past her house. I saw her this weekend and took off my hat and sunglasses to say hello, and she said, "Oh my God, I didn't recognize you without the dog!"

I haven't been given any nicknames, just lots of "you look great!" type of comments. I kind of don't like it when people comment on my weightloss, actually. It makes me wonder what they thought of me 70 lbs ago. I went to a salon a week ago and the esthetician commented on how I look like "a woman who obviously takes care of her health." NO ONE would ever say that to me back in the fat days, but really, my lifestyle's not that different.
