    Keep in mind that weight can be a very awkward topic for the other person as well. As a guy, I feel incredibly reluctant to talk about a woman's weight under just about any circumstance. There are just too many ways to lose ! I can only think of one time I ever had the guts to compliment a co-worker, someone I see rather infrequently, and she had lost over 30 lbs.

    Its funny, but now I'm in the same boat. I'm about 15 lbs down from my all-time high, and I've only hinted vaguely that I'm "trying to eat better". But nobody has said anything yet. I FEEL absolutely wonderful; I really feel like a skinny (and much healthier) person. But when I look in the mirror I have to admit that the outward changes are still kind of subtle.

    It's hard to know when people notice. It is, after all, very rude to comment on someone's weight, weight gain or weight loss.
    I've lost 13kg (18% of my starting weight), bringing me from a BMI of 29 to a BMI of 23 and from jeans size 14 (Australian) to size 10. My husband says he can really tell, and I can certainly see and feel the difference in myself, but happily, no-one else has commented.

    Someone asked me if I'd cut my hair. I hadn't. :tongue:
