I was just going down to the cafeteria at work to get some more ice for my ice Water when this girl who works down the hallway (i've never even talked to her) stopped me and said I just wanted to tell you that you look really good. You've always been a pretty girl but you can really tell you've lost weight. I'm still speechless. It was so nice to hear a compliment like that from a complete stranger.

What was your best compliment you've received so far?

Way to go!

It is great to hear from strangers! My best compliment is similar and I posted the other day about it! It was from a security guard in my office lobby, who called me over and said "I've been watching you...you are looking great!"

Keep up your good work!:thumbup:

My best compliment came from my husband. The other day he was folding my jeans and he said "You know, everytime I pick these up the first thought through my head is who do these belong to. They're so small."

Oh shoot! I remember your post now. Sorry. I was just so happy that I didn't even think to look for a similar post!

That is such an awesome feeling.

Doesn't it amaze yourself how small your pants are? I've dropped shirt wise from a 26/28 to a 18/20. I put on a 22/24 the other day and it was way too big.

I wish my pants size would fall. I was a 26/28 now i'm a 24. I just wish it would catch up to my top!

My best compliment came from a cashier at a store. I used a credit card and she asked for ID. I gave her my driver's license, she looked at it and looked at me and said this can't be you... you aren't even half that size !

I was at the gym and a lady came over to me and said that we joined the gym at the same time and that I was doing really well and she could tell a difference in me.

My best compliment was from my favorite manager at my local Lane Bryant. Since I have lost weight, I have more clothing selections at other places so she does not see me as much. I had gone in one day & she was there. She was totally shocked and then asked me "are you trying to leave us?". I told her he-- yeah!!

I got told "Move out of my way skinny girl." I am not skinny, but a lot thinner then I used to be. :thumbup:

I can't wait for the day I no longer have to shop there either! They are so expensive!

When my husband sorts the laundry I end up missing half my clothes, I end up finding them in my teenager's things!

Just a few days ago a friend came over to go out to dinner with my husband and I. He was checking something on his phone as he walked up and I saw him do a double-take. I just thought it was a simple realization that I was standing there on the porch.

Later in the evening he said I was looking REALLY good, and that when he walked up, he didn't recognize me at first. :thumbup:

Mine was probably when I saw my dad for the first time a few weeks ago since my surgery in December. He CRIED. He is not the type ot show emotion and he cried because he was so proud of me for doing this.

Another was when I saw my best friend for the first time in over a year and a half. She just stood back and said "OMG YOU LOOK AMAZING!!"

Still on my 2-month pre-op diet.. Lost about 25# so far, and another month to go.

The pants gave me the compliment. They were new about the time I started. They fell off of me, fully buttoned/zipped this weekend.

It amused.
