I finally had 3 people in a matter of 2 weeks, say that I have lost weight and look good. Thats nice and all but they told my mom this! Why cant they tell me to my face when they see me? And these are family members. None of my friends have said anything....What the hell? I dont understand.

I think a lot of people are embarrassed to tell someone to their face that they can tell they've lost weight and are looking good. It's like if you say it then you're saying you were heavy and didn't look so good. KWIM? I'm one of those people who wants to hear it but my husband ONLY wants to hear it from me, noone else. I say take your compliments however you get them.

Oh and congrats on looking better!

If you do it so people will notice and comment, you may be disappointed and get discouraged... Do it for yourself and forget about whether or not anyone else notices. I have lost more than 35 lbs and only a couple of people have said anything and that was just recently. At -20 lbs, no one noticed. It's all good though because I notice and I'm the one who matters here!

I guess its hard for me to even notice when i look in the mirror. i know i should go by the measurements and maybe the scale but im going to just continue to work hard to get down to my first goal. But thats crazy that they didnt notice your 35 lb (or was it 30 lb) weight loss.
