UncleTone Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 I stepped on the scale this morning and I have lost 37 pounds in the past 8 weeks. That was an awesome woot for me considering I have been eating like crap since the baby was born a week ago. BUTAn even bigger woot for me is when one of my professors approached me after class and asked me if I was losing weight because it certainly looked like I was, especially in my face.I was ecstatic to hear that because no one ever tells me they notice a difference, except of course a few people in my family, so I was doing a tiny celebratory dance in my head when my prof. told me that she has noticed!

tigersheart Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 awesome! And it feels soooooooo good when someone does recognize the weight loss! Link to comment
UncleTone Posted April 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Thanks guys.It is definitely awesome when someone else recognizes it because, and this will sound odd, but when I am losing weight and no one asks, then I wonder if I really am losing weight or if I am just tricking myself. I know how ridiculous that sounds because the scale keeps moving and my clothes keep falling off, but it is nice to hear a compliment to know that you are looking different to others.I was feeling in a rut, so I am thankful that she approached me because it renewed my motivation.

Luthorcrow Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Congratulations. That is amazing amount of weight to lose in such a short period of time. It took me more like 6 months to do the same thing last year. Link to comment
ElectronicGoddess Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 I'll do a happy dance for you!!I had a coworker stop me a few days ago to tell me that I keep getting smaller and to keep up the good work. I didn't think anyone noticed either. I've only lost 20 pounds in 3 months. Like you, it definitely gave me some new motivation! When you're named after the goddess of war, you better deliver.

I have only gotten one comment that I remember from someone that didn't know I was on a diet (actually it was an ex professor of mine too!), and that made me feel great. But mostly the only people that I talk to and see on any regular basis knows that I am on a diet and trying to lose weight.

Fogo Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Few things are better than having someone who doesn't know you're working on getting fit compliment you. I love when someone asks that "have you been working out?" question. Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

Killabyte Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Grats! I've had a couple of regulars recently come into work asking if I lost weight or have been "hitting the weight room". It is a great feeling indeed. Keep it up! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] My Fitness and Motivation Youtube Channel Link to comment
