I've been an MFP member since late May, and even though I was losing about a pound a week no one had ever commented on my weight loss and now all of the sudden a lot of people on the trail (where I run) are starting to notice. They are telling me that it's as if I lost the weight "overnight". Some are actually stopping me to ask how I did it! Of course I have to give credit to MFP and all my friends here. Thank you all for your wonderful support and encouragement.

    I wonder at the overnight thing. People are used to seeing you one way and it takes a while to change their perception. I kinda like it now, the idea of dropping the weight when they are not looking. I want to do that over the winter and come into the spring with a new size. It's hard when your starting out and no one notices the first 10 pounds though. Losing is funnnnnnn.
    Great job.
  • That is WONDERFUL!!! I can't wait to people notice my weight lost either. And Nutshel it is fun losing!!!!

    I think you're right, "people are used to seeing you one way", then one day they suddenly realize that there's something different about you; weight loss, haircut, eyeglasses, etc." .

    And yeah, losing is funnnn!
