I think that's a pretty normal thing to feel. Despite the "Yeah, you were pretty damn fat before" feel of it, I think anybody who's losing weight is far happier to hear that people are noticing.
I know you asked me some questions a little while ago about what I had been doing and all that for the weight loss. Have you started anything yourself? (Or maybe keep it to PM, idunno which you'd prefer)
But again, thanks thanks thanks :kiss Feels nice when people notice. Especially Elise, she's awesome.
