I wish people would notice :(

Some people think its rude to comment on other peoples weight even to compliment them on a loss. I have noticed people on blogs saying they were offended when they were told they'd lost weight so I assume those same people wouldn't have commented on other peoples either.

People didnt really start to comment on my weight loss til I had lost around 40 lbs. Some didnt say anything til about a year later. The scale and taking measurements is what will show your weight loss, dont depend on others noticing when you yourself can see your progress

To those of you who haven't had anyone notice your weight loss--are you still wearing your old clothing sizes?? I didn't get comments until I got rid of my "fat" clothes and started wearing my smaller sizes

I think it's partly this (which reminds me, I need new clothes!), and also partly depending on how people store fat. I have a friend who stores all her weight in her stomach, and we all noticed she was losing weight after about 10 lb. I tend to lose inches evenly all over my body, so people didn't notice until the 30 lb mark or so.

Don't let it discourage you at all. Remember, you're loosing weight for "you" not anyone else. I know it feels good to have people notice & make a big deal out of your progress but don't let it be your only motivation. You're doing great so far. Keep up the good work.

My fiancee knows i've lost 10lbs because I told him (because its my mini goal for my bikini ) and plus he sees this site. I guess he told my dad last night that I lost 10lbs. My dad asked him where?

I don't know whether its discouraging people not noticing... or makes me want to work harder just to make them notice lol..

I'm hoping when I reach 15lbs they will

I'm only 5'2 and I started at 144.6 and I'm at 134.5... My goal is 115.. (maybe 110 we will see) so not sure if they will ever notice hmm

Well, you're doing *great* so far! 10 lbs when you're 5'2 is a LOT! I'm sure they will notice soon!!!

I'm in the same boat as you are - I'm 5'3. I'm down to 121.8 now - less than I was all winter. Maybe it's because I was buried in sweaters all winter, and when spring came around, I wasn't wearing anything fitted since I was so unhappy with my body. People are just barely noticing my tan... yet it is the most color I've had in years. I *have* a color now... before, I was so pale I was translucent. People are just barely noticing the hair color change (a whole bottle of Sun-In so far... cheap '80s highlights rock...) But no one has noticed that I'm losing weight. I notice it, and not just in a wishful-thinking kind of way, though I'm still far from where I want to be. It's disappointing. Maybe people will notice when I'm at my goal and I'm actually happy...
