Yesterday my husband and I dropped by his cousins house to pick something up. I haven't seen my cousin in law in about a year in a half. When he saw us, he greeted my husband and looked at me and said" you are really skinny". I thought I heard him say that, but all I could do is stand there and smile while simultaneously think I weigh 197lbs, I'm not skinny! My husband kind of startled me out of my trance and said- Rodney gave you a compliment--laughing hysterically as if he were reading my mind! I quickly said thankyou and told him he looked good himself (he's been lifting weights and used to be skinny). I can't get over that. People who see me that hasn't seen me in a longtime WILL say to me things like " Wow you look good" or :you've lost alot of weight", but skinny...I've NEVER heard that in my life!

The strange thing is I saw Rodney's brother the week before and he yelled across the store- "Oh my God, you've lost ALOT of weight"! That was embarassing. :biggrin:

I still want to lose 20lbs pounds. I feel like I still have a ways to go! Oh well, I'll take the compliments however I get them! :wub:

That's so cool. No one has called me skinny yet but I've had two instances of people in the same apartment building do a double take when they walked by me and tell me how good I look now. One guy told me he thought I was the brother of the guy living there and I had to convince him it was me. That's was very funny.

Both of your stories made me smile (and I REALLY needed that!).

Congratulations to both of you. And how COOL!!!

Keep up the great work!

I told my mom that I'd lost 70% of my excess body weight and she was like, "NO. It is like 99.9% Where is anymore going to come from?" I was so stoked. Those compliments keep me going! Congrats!
