When People Start Noticing Weight Loss

Bluediesel

I have a cool story today. So I went to my dad's local pharmacy to pick up his meds and the lady pharmacist says, "does your dad have your brother come in to pick up his meds, I haven't seen you before?" I was like, I'm the same guy, I just lost 24 pounds. LoL She was like you totally look like a different person. I'm only getting started. Compliments are the best. Makes you feel good when people notice your hard work. So this goes out to all of us who are starting out trying to eat healthier and are waiting to break thru. It's going to happen eventually. Hang in there! When the results shine from your body and within. This will keep us feeling great and motivated for more!

This story makes me so happy. I've been on my journey for 89 days and have lost 24lb also. The first 14lb came off super quickly, the second 10lb not so much.

Because it's now coming off slowly, I've sort of got used to the slightly slimmer version of me and I'm struggling to notice the difference.

I was thinking that my boyfriend - who is home from Iraq in two days - might not notice.

Your story gives me hope that he will xx

Happy you got a much deserved compliment! It is def a nice thing to look forward to!! My SW was 258 and I've lost 26 lbs but no one has really noticed, prob bc I have so much more to lose I know my time will come though. My dad just started a 5 week rehab and since he has been begging me to slim down for years for better health I wanna lose another 14 lbs by the time he gets back... definitely if I can do that he would notice a 40lb weightloss!! I'm not doing it for his recognition, just want to show him we all can do better in our lives and if we set our minds to it we can all meet again when we are healthier. Sorry this reply got away from me.... YOU LOOK AMAZING

I have worked in a few different job positions over the last 3 years. Over the last 8 months, I got only a few comments about my weight loss since there was no "before" for them to compare to. I just returned to my job I had 8 months ago, and almost every single co-worker has noticed, and said something about my weight loss.

I enjoy it, however I do not need the confirmation. I already know I am awesome

Love it! The best compliment is the one that is not necessarily intended as one. Kudos to you on your progress.

Good job! I have always said that compliments are one of the cornerstones and the hardest part of any weight loss journey is getting to that stage. Unfortunately too many people quit before ever getting there.

Again, good job and well earned! :happy:
