When you've lost a little or a lot, do you tell everyone or wait for someone to notice???

Does your partner, notice then tell you??

    I wait. Otherwise, I'll feel like I'm getting forced praise. :smile:

    For me, everyone who knows me well, knows I'm on a diet. I go eat with them, so it's hard not to tell. Anyone else, when they noticed, I just said, "yep, I'm working my *kitten* off".

    I usually wait. Exept when I hit the 10 pound mark, then I was so excited I told everyone! My partner tells me more and more because I am not noticing anymore. I am still focused on those problem areas, so I don't notice where I am slimming.

    I usually wait because I want to know it's true because half the time during this journey I didn't see it but others did

    I waited....I didn't tell anyone and finally people have started to notice. I did post this on here a while back, but my husband noticed the dog was getting skinny before me and said something about it....lol. Okay, so it wasn't so funny at the time. :grumble:

    Wait.

    Also, I always comment to people when it looks like they have lost b/c I know how hard it is to lose and how rewarding it can be when others take notice of all that I have accomplished!!

    When I started this, I also joined my work's "Biggest Loser" club and all of my friends knew I was in it. So they'd ask about our weekly weigh-ins.

    I teach 2nd grade and didn't tell the kids anything. I wanted so bad for them to mention it, and finally they did, THE LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL!! But the compliments from youngin's were amazing!

    I weigh every week and usually tell my hubby and close friend...to keep me accountable I guess.even if I have a gain or a maintain..I just want to say it out loud, be done with it and focus on the next week.

    But when it comes to anyone else, I don't tell them. Usually about every 4-6 weeks I will get more comments of "Wow, you've lost MORE!"....because those smaller losses suddenly added up! It's fun!!

    I've told my friends that I am "going to the gym" and I tell my closest friend that I am trying to lose weight. Be prepared to wait a really long time--I just got the first "have you lost weight" question--after 30 pounds, and a dozen inches on my hips and waist! Some people are just dense. :grumble:
