"You're Melting"

[JamieLogical 8,710]

Well, it took almost 50 pounds post-op and almost 75 pounds total, but I just got my first comment from a coworker on my weight loss. Someone who just got back from a two week vacation just commented told me "you're melting" and said that my pants might end up on the floor while I'm walking down the hallway soon.

I wonder if being away for a couple of weeks and then coming back caused her to see me with fresh eyes for the first time in a while. My weight loss has been pretty slow and gradual (1 to 1.5 pounds most weeks), so I don't think the people that see me every day have really noticed. I have started running in the past 4 weeks and she was gone for 2 of those, so maybe the running is helping to shift things around an make me look a bit "leaner" even though I've only actually lost maybe 2.5 pounds since the last time I saw her?

I don't know why...but I'd take it

I am a librarian, so my coworkers see me when they periodically need something. I hear, "every time I see you, you're shrinking!" a lot. But most recently I hear, "When are you going to stop?" This recent question throws me because I'm 20 pounds from the goal of having a healthy BMI...

Take it…The first time my mate saw me she has now dubbed me the skinny gal…lol

I'm 10 months out and I'm in shock everyday when my coworkers tell me that I'm melting away, shrinking, they call me Skinny Minnie! GASP! It's so surreal to hear this. I honestly don't see it, I mean, I know 75 lbs is a lot but I don't see the extreme of it so those comments shock me but it does feel nice... Keep it up (or should I say down lol) peeps, this is not the easy way out by no means but it's so worth it, right? I love it! Good Luck to us all....

My brother in law told me I was skin and bones (not true) I have heard skinny mini, long and lean, and your wasting way. What does that supposed to mean anyway? The comments don't bother me. I am 5'9 and 146 pounds. I feel great. Yesterday at the Buckle I was trying on jeans. The sales girl bright me a 27 waist. Lol. I said nope wrong size! She says Really?? I asked her how much my husband gave her to bring me those jeans. Lol

ProjectMe: I honestly think most folks haven't the slightest notion of what a healthy BMI actually looks like.

@@MsAlaineus That would definitely seem to be the case at my work.
