MY PARENTS ARE COMING

amunet07

Okay, for those of you who don't know me and my fam... my dad is a Marathon running, bicycling, walking, outdoorsy guy that can't stay still or stay in the house. He of course, can't understand why I don't follow suit but is patient and gently tries to encourage me to. My mom is a beautiful woman who is overweight, had a few heart attacks and used to mention when I was size three that I should suck in my belly.

They are coming for my birthday Nov 7th. and I did mention I was on a diet to my father. I'm kind of nervous that they will see me and wonder... why they don't see a difference. (I can't remember what I weighed the last time I saw them).

Does anyone know what the magical number is (how many lbs lost) before there is a noticeable difference??

10lbs is a great accomplishment!

Parents are difficult people, lol. My mom first noticed I lost weight by saying, "You don't look so bloated." She has always been the "suck in your tummy" type, too.

Don't be disappointed if they don't notice the difference. They will definitely see it on their next visit if you keep it up! Hopefully, they say nice and wonderful things, but if they don't... ignore them!

Keep up your hard work and hope their visit is great! :flowerforyou:

it would really depend on how big you are to begin with. It took me in the neighborhood of 15 lbs to have a noticeable difference to people besides myself. since you only wanted to lose 30ish lbs though, I should think 10 lbs will be quite noticeable! But either way you are doing great and I am sure you parents will notice! :flowerforyou:
