    Seriously no one has said anything to you?
    You completely lost your gut!!!


    Congratulations and keep on working! Looks to be a lot more than 25 lbs! No idea what you'll look like with another 25 down!
    This! I was thinking the exact same thing!

    You have done a great job, congrats!

    You look awesome. People have to have noticed. If you hang around with mostly men then no man is really going to comment on your weight if they're the kind that are "manly" and will never comment on their other male friends appearances. I think you did amazingly. Not only did you shed pounds, but it looks like years off your life. Good work!!

    I was down almost 25 last year. I did one thing for me, and it had unintended consequences. i went and bought some clothes that were out of my comfort zone. Tighter shirts, non-pleated tighter pants, more stylish and brighter colors. I couldn't get from one side of the work site to the other without people commenting. Try it.

    You look amazing! Congratulations!

    Some people just don't know how to come out and say that you have lost weight, especially if they have never had to do it themselves.

    I think it is a gender thing. Women who lose weight get more positive feedback then men who lose weight.

    People are just scared to be wrong, and I am always a little sketched out by mentioning someone's weight to them unless it's been previously mentioned to me. "Hey, have you lost weight?" sounds more like "I noticed you were fat before" to me. So please don't take it to heart. You look great :)

    People have noticed. It's very noticeable. It's just a dangerous topic, so people avoid talking about it.

    I agree. People, such as neighbors I was not really close with and my apartment manager, didn't say anything about my weight until I was about 165 pounds. I started at 238 pounds. Some people commented on my weight, when I got to 191 pounds, like family and a few neighbors, but the neighbors I was closest with, didn't say anything at all to me. One still has never said anything to me, even though I know she notices that only half of me is around. My other neighbor has avoided me like the plague, since I now weigh less than she does. My dad didn't notice anything with my first 30 pounds either. Anyhow, I agree that it could be a dangerous topic because people may be hesitant to say anything, in case, you are losing weight due to a serious illness or cancer, so they might just look and not respond for a while. Others could be jealous or waiting to see what happens before they approach you about it.

    Well I am doing really well. I feel good and think I look better. I am close to 25 pounds down, another 25 and I will be very happy with myself. I am just a bit bummed no one has commented. So now I look to you guys.. ha. I am not that concerned because I do this for myself, but some positive comments would be nice to see. How long does that take? Or do people just not want to say anything? Or just not that noticeable yet? thanks folks!

    Apparently I can't read as my topic suggests.. Yikes.

    You look really good you can definatly notice you have lost your stomach and your legs looks a lot smaller to. May be people think your ill and thats why they havnt mentioned it to you. Especially if you have lost the weight fast x

    I really can't imagine no one has noticed anything. The differences are very clear. Maybe no one dares to say anything? Like will he keep it off or if I say something I might upset him, or some people barely give compliments, etc... You doing absolutely great!

    I cant believe no one has noticed. you have done so well. I know exactly how you feel as i too last year was waiting for the comments and all of a sudden they came in. Then I noticed how three close friends of mine hadnt said a word. Since then one of them has told me well done. The other two may never say anything as some people do not like too. i know that now but at the time it was frustrating. very well done on your hard work.

    Wow, you look so much happier and healthier! I'm guessing people haven't mentioned it as they may be slightly jealous or afraid of offending you in some way! Have you lost the weight over a long-ish period? I lost 21 lbs over a year and no one noticed or commented other than my mother and partner!! =) I think if you wore slimmer fitting trousers people would notice it even more =)

    Mate ive just signed up today and you have given me some serious motivation! if i do as well as you i'd be over the moon! ive tried over the years to lose weight but nothing has worked. one bit of advice that stuck with me though was this

    it takes 4 weeks for you to notice the weight loss.
    8 weeks for your friends to notice
    and 12 weeks for the world to notice.

    keep up the good work! you're looking great!

    They're evidently blind! You look amazing, your belly is gone, and you face is much thinner, as are your legs! Great job.
