I had been kinda down that I hadn't had those random "you look great" comments.

Well just now I was in the kitchen at work, waiting to heat my lunch up when a lady who works here, who I don't know very well, and who is a health/gym freak said to me "By the way I keep wanting to say, you look great!" I said "Wow thanks...I actually had been down because no one had noticed really." That's when another guy in there chimed in and said "I had noticed too, but didn't want to say anything."

That just made me SO happy!! I guess it is noticeable! I really was thinking maybe it wasn't or that maybe because all of my clothes are kinda big that you couldn't tell.

So happy!!!!!

I don't have any full length shots...but I think you totally get the idea with this pic!

    well done!! I think people- especially co workers may be cautious about saying anything in case you're sensitive about it. But you look great.

    Hey well done excellent job !!!!!!!! I felt the same about 2 weeks ago, it made me feel like striking a pose and saying TARA!!! in front of people LOL. Then last week a few people made comments and a couple of days ago i had to buy jeans 4 inches smaller in the waist :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    Some people I know...who know I've been losing, have said that I looked great, but I really was waiting for someone who didn't know me that well to stop me and say something.

    I have NO clothes that fit me. All my jeans are way to big. I have to bunch them up at the top - like a ponytail - and wrap a hair elastic around them, to keep them up. My shirts are baggy too. I don't wear the ones that are gigantic on me. So I just thought that maybe my clothes weren't showing off my loss.

    But still - 46lbs and NOTHING? I was bummed.

    I have no money to buy new clothes right now. For Christmas I've told my parents that I ONLY want money/gift cards!

    You look great! I think its interesting that some people notice but don't want to say anything like the 2nd co-worker in your story.

    Thanks everyone!

    I wish people knew how much stuff like this helps a person who is trying to "diet". Given me a new strength to make it through!

    Wow you look great you have lost a lot in your face. Keep it up. Sometimes people do not know what to say because it could be taken offensively. But you llook great.

    That is fantastic Amy!! I can't wait to lose so much people start letting me know. It IS discouraging when no one says anything. WTG and keep your chin up. Just because no one says anything doesn't mean they don't notice!!! Remember...you're doing this for YOU!!!
