Re: Whats the best compliment you have had so far?
Was at work a few days ago, and two people whom I have not known very long (a month or two) both stopped me within a half hour of each other and commented that they could tell I was losing weight. The first one I just said thanks, and as I walked off, I thought "it must be the pants I have on..." because I haven't really lost any amount of weight (3 or 4 pounds) or much of anything to write home about in the way of inches in the past couple of months. But I had accidently put on an old pair of 42 waist pants that day... (I should be wearing a 44 I think, but put these on and they seemed to fit okay so off I went - must be cut big or something because I don't think any other 42s I have fit right now).
When the second lady said something not 30 minutes later, I thanked her and said to her "you are the second person to say something about that today... it must be these pants I am wearing..." but she said nope, she had noticed it in my face...
my face... hmm... I have yet to really notice much loss in my face after the initial few months of low carb... been complaining for months about still having a wobbly turkey wattle of a double chin that stubbornly refuses to disappear.
but maybe it is disappearing a little and I just can't see it - how awesome would THAT be!
I did study in the mirror a little bit when I got home, and yeah, MAYBE I can tell that my cheekbones are showing a little more, and MAYBE the double chin has gotten a little smaller. I sure hope so.

Re: Whats the best compliment you have had so far?
Well, I've had a similar comment about my face, and from someone who didn't know I'd been changing my lifestyle. Another girl scout mom said, "You've lost weight! I can really see it in your face!" Of course, that's not the end that I'd like to lose it from so much, but I'll take what I can get!
Then one of my co-workers said she knew I must be losing weight because I looked taller walking down the hall. Since I'm only 5 feet tall, I was thrilled!
