149! In addition to Dally's lunch...
FWIW, I lost 70 of 86 pounds before most people noticed I'd lost any
weight. I didn't really care since I only lost the weight for me and not for anyone else's benefit. Barbara 210/124 (since November 1997) Barbara Hirsch, Publisher OBESITY MEDS AND RESEARCH NEWS The latest in obesity research and weight loss drug development http://www.obesity-news.com/ |

I'm very pleased with myself :-). Chris 262/149/ (145-150) Chris, that is just fantastic! Well done. janice |

She is still heavy, but obviously down at least a couple of pant sizes. I noticed last month that she looked great and I told her so -- I let her know everything she was doing was obviously working for her and that I was proud of her. I didn't get anything then, but I didn't think much of it since I didn't feel like I had lost significant weight. Now I'm down 25 lbs, everyone is noticing, and still nothing from her. I thought maybe it wasn't obvious, but a co worker came up to me today and said I am an inspiration to her because I'm shrinking before her eyes, and I look so healthy. I think I would take the grudging compliment (and that's what it is!) of being too skinny over being ignored. Ally 212/187/160 You don't say how your friend reacted to your telling her she looked great. I ask this because personally I absolutely hate anyone commenting on my weight, even if it's a complement, and the other side to this is that I have never, ever commented on anyone else's weight. Thus someone I see regularly such as a friend or co-worker could lose 100 pounds and I would never say a word. Not because of jealousy, but because I just can't bear getting into weight-related discussions with anyone. Just a thought, and I wondered if your friend was perhaps like this. janice |

This is fascinating - my 2 best friends and I could (and do) have weight- related discussions anytime. It's our favorite topic. (SO much better than kid's soccer :-/ ) -- Walking on . . .

(SO much better than kid's soccer :-/ ) I know I'm the unusual one here I think it's because issues of weight and food are so heavily loaded with other issues and meanings for me that I can't really discuss them rationally, except for somewhere like here. If I'm at work and a discussion on diet starts up I sometimes feel I have to actually leave the room rather than be drawn into the conversation. janice |
