At Fat Cyclist, I posted a thank you to the people in the Banjo
Brothers Big Bad Bulky Biker Bodyfat Challenge.for "letting me draft
here." One of the regulars told me I was "taking as many pulls as
anybody."

If I had a dime for every time someone called me "inspirational"....

My favorite one, though, is from my gym. One of the regular gym rats,
a cop who power-lifts, in conversation told me that a lot of the usual
weight room crowd give me a lot of respect for my accomplishment and
how far I've come. In retrospect, I don't know if it's because of the
weight or because of my increasingly obvious structural problems. But
I'll take the compliment anyway.

I've had a number of compliments since I have lost so much weight, but
the one that stroked my ego the most was when someone said "You are
getting too thin!" I'm not, of course--it's just that it is easier to
disguise my "problem areas" not that I don't have so many of them grin


I had a great compliment yesterday from someone I haven't seen since I
first took off the weight. She said that I still look like I'm going
strong and that she was thrilled to see I had kept off so much weight. We
used to work out at Curves together and reminisced about the know-it-alls
who were so sure I was not going to be able to be successful in the long
run.


It does feel wonderful to have people you haven't seen in a while do a
double take when they see you. smile I work out at Curves. My daughters
take karate 2 doors away, so it's convenient, and a nice workout. Sometimes
I go around more than twice, if I feel like I need a bit more of a workout.
I'm glad you've maintained your weight loss in spite of the nay-sayers. I'm
sure there are a few of those in my life, too, but I prefer to stay positive
and communicate only with positive people. Keep up the good work!

That I look younger. Always a good thing.

"I need to see an I.D."

Pretty good complement, considering I'm 39.
