So I was feeling under the weather tonight and was planning on skipping my workout but for some reason I decided to go. I got on the arc trainer and started going. The man next to me started commenting on how hard the trainer was and we got into a conversation. It is totally normal for me to go for an hour sometimes 2 hours on the arc trainer but for this man he was having trouble doing 20-30 min. I kept talking to him about weight loss and my success ( I didn't mention banding---just healthy eating and exercising which is 95% of it for me). He exercised for an hour on that machine. He thanked me and told me that he burnt more than double the calories he had set as his goal. He also told me that he purposely started a conversation with me to meet me because he had heard a couple of women talking about me and my success. He wanted to talk with me and get pointers for him and his daughter. Later he called his daughter and told her all about me and now she and I are going to start working out together. It made me feel great to know that I was inspiring people. It is a little weird to think that people are talking about me, but if it inspires people to get healthy then thats great. So this is my NSV!

You've been inspiring people here on LBT too.

Congratulations. I'm sure it makes you feel good. You're not only doing good things for yourself, but they have a positive effect on others.

Take care.
