Who seen it first????

DOTY1

Who was the first one to see that your body was changing was it you? Was it a co worker? Your spouse? Who made you feel good by noticing the difference you have taken so long to change??????????

So far, noone that doesn't know about my weightloss, has said anything. :sad:

ZebraHead

I saw it in my face first but then right after that (within a week) two other people said something.

luv2ash

definitely the spouse----

Its interesting to note though that even after losing 90 pounds, people still don't say anything----strangest thing.

authson

I have lost 20 pounds and no one has noticed yet :-(

I could really see it in my face at first and then slowly people started noticing it at the office and then my fiance did.
My favorite was the other day: "Damn Baby, you look so good and so much healthier! Get over here!"
That was the best!!

My hubby noticed but possibly because I kept nagging him to tell me if he noticed a difference, but the first awesome reaction was my mother-in-law who kept gushing how great I looked. Honestly, that was 3 weeks ago and has kept me motivated on the days when I don't feel like running. I loved the reaction! Seeing her again next weekend and I'm hoping for a similar reaction on how well I've been doing.

noone at all that sees me on a regular basis, so I was kinda bummed.......however, my sister in law, that I rarely get to see, noticed right away. It felt great! I do wish someone else would say something though..lol....

I believe it was my boss.... he said he noticed my weight loss then asked me if I was sick and was going to be able to continue to do my job.
LOL
Nice of him to be concerned, but wasn't exactly the sort of positive feedback I would have hoped for!

My Best Friends husband who I havent seen in a few months walked in and said "Damn Have you lost weight??" I laughed and said yes... 30 lbs... he said "well you look REAL good" His wife smaked him.. I laughed.

So far my spouse was the first, but I don't know if that was just encouraging me . . .

Then I was thrilled when my trainer at the gym said she saw me coming towards her and had to look twice to make sure it was me.

A couple coworkers have been encouraging, but they also knew that I was trying . ..

But last week a friend that I only see every couple of weeks at homeschool events said, "You are looking great, have you been exercising and stuff?" That was the one that made my day.

My boyfriend noticed when I was getting ready to shower... it was great!

I think my hubby noticed my face thin out first.

I was a little bummed out because early on everyone noticed his weight loss but not mine. Coworkers and my own parents immediately could tell that he had lost but never mentioned that I did.

MAK_01

It was a co-worker for me. She works from home a lot and she came in one day and stopped me in the hall and told she thought I looked great.

I've caught this too. Even after 70lbs people either don't notice, or I think they don't want to notice. Some people have an issue with seeing people do well.

kim_mc

I noticed myself first because I am the one looking all the time. And then FINALLY about a month ago, someone said, "Have you lost weight?" YAAAAYYYY! It is kind of embarrassing but I figure, you know what? I worked really hard and I am actually super excited that someone noticed.

Maybe some people don't say anything or think it may be rude? IDK

I think that if you notice someone has lost weight, it should be recognized because it makes that person feel good that all their hard work is paying off!!

Sigra

My spouse always notices first :x He's a busy body
hahahaha

CallMeMamaBoo

I walked by a large mirror in a store and had to stop and walk back to it when I wasn't sure I recognized my own face! '

A week later my 8 year old daughter said that I was getting more beautiful everyday she came home from school and she thought it was because 'the puffiness was melting away with the snow'.

My husband has been noticing all along but he was telling me I wasn't fat when I was clearly, fat. So what he says hasn't really changed the way I see myself. LOL Love really is blind...most the time.

After I lost ten pounds, I mentioned I hadn't noticed a change. My fiance said he saw it. Then while I was at work, two of my co-workers said that they noticed too. So that was nice!

I think that's unfortunate. A friend of mine lost weight last summer and when she came to visit, I couldn't get over how great she looked -- and I told her so lol. I don't know if it's a combination of people not wanting to be rude and not wanting to see others succeed. It's sad.

roselynsy

no one that dose not know im losing has said i thing. my partner sasy he can see a difference but im not even sure if i do

DanieGirl74

A friend who told me I looked really good. Spouse only noticed after I pointed it out to him.

dirtyblue

My husband was poking at my butt while laying on the couch and he noted that it didn't jiggle anymore (maybe not as much, but it still jiggles) :laugh: A coworker stoped me the other day and asked if I was loosing weight also And my 19 year old son who goes to the gym everyday said that I was looking much thinner and tighter

DOTY1

Aww thanks so much for sharing....... Im sorry for those of you who said that no one has noticed. That would make me sad. I hope everyone keeps up with the good work. Stay strong and positive.

whiskey9890

i think i have to say it was me, last night!!! although i haven't lost a huge amount of weight i commented to my other half jokingly that either the girls were getting bigger or i had lost weight cos i had just caught myself in the mirror and my proportions looked different, i stepped on the scales this morning and have lost although i only weighed myself on tuesday so i am aware it could just be a fluctuation i'm staying positive cos they haven't said that number for quite a while lol. i think its because i have upped my water intake quite a bit

MsQt

I noticed first but soon after, my sons basket ball coaches said that they noticed that I lost weight in my face and legs! Happy to hear I say, cuz I've literally been melting in front of my class mates but i guess they dont me well enough and probably don't want to insult me. lol... 1 more pound to go Yay!!!!!

theTupper

I don't hear it from people who see me regularly. Maybe for the same reason I have trouble seeing it in myself. They see the gradual change and get used to it. People I see every couple weeks though? They say things for sure!

LilyBugsMommy

I have had people who haven't seen me for a little while say something like, wow, you are losing weight, you look good. But the people I see everyday, like at work, they don't say anything. Sometimes I think they are looking at me like maybe there is something different, but they can't put their finger on it, lol.

I am not surprised about the people that I see everyday though, because I can't "see" a difference yet my self. I feel different, but I don't see a difference yet. I hope this goes away as I lose more weight. My husband does say that he notices, but like a previous poster said, love is blind, lol! He always says I look great

I'd been at this for about a month and only lost a couple pounds when my grandmother asked me if I was losing weight. She said she could see it on my face. She's pretty familiar with the fact that I wanted to lose some, and she keeps an eye on my cousin who's also trying, so she was probably extra-sensitive. No one else has really said anything. Every time I tell my husband that I think I've lost some and my clothes feel better, he just says 'huh, that's interesting.' >.< Boys!

Edit: I don't mean to imply he's not supportive, but he knows that my mother has been pretty hard on me my whole life, even when I wasn't very overweight, and so he doesn't want to become someone who only appreciates me for my fitness! :-D Sad thing is, my mother was pretty much right all those years, she just was so consistently on my case that it was pretty emotionally hurtful.

My fiance gives the, "I'm proud of you" response, which is nice, but like you said -- boys! :P Though yesterday he said my pants were too loose in the butt and he didn't like it lol. I told him proudly that it was because they're getting too big!
