Nobody has noticed

Last time I lost weight it took 16kgs (almost 40lbs) before people started noticing - I had gone from about 200 down to 163.
Will be interesting to see what it takes this time.

Remember, you aren't doing all this work for anyone but yourself. Don't do it for the kudos. Do it because you're worth it. I know the "atta girls" feel good, and they will come. Just keep up the hard work and keep moving forward!!

I think that in the workplace (and other similar situations where you know people, but don't know them that well), some people may find it awkward to make a comment. I know that if I worked with someone, but only knew them professionally, I would be hesitant to make a comment about their weight loss because I would feel like I was somehow intruding on their personal life.

I've lost 24 pounds and no one at work has made a comment. And I wasn't even that big to begin with (5'6.5'' and 170 pounds) so the change is pretty noticeable. I work in a department store where we all wear uniforms, and no one has seen me in anything other than work clothes so it's understandable that it's harder to see a change. I've had a couple of people take second looks at me but that's about it.

As long as YOU know that you're achieving something fantastic, that's all that matters! One day they will notice, there always seems to be a magic weight where people notice, and this differs with individuals. Good work and keep it up !

I'm sure people noticed. But careful what you wish for, comments cut both ways, You wouldn't want comments about any weight gain.
Do it for yourself. Good work.

Have to remember who you are doing this for...YOU!!!! The praise from others feels good but putting on jeans several sizes smaller is better than any compliment someone could pay me!! Keep it up they WILL notice Good Luck!!!

totally agree
sometimes working in an office can be *****y aswell and they may be jealous of your progress.

:flowerforyou: While it is GREAT when people notice the weight loss, doing it for yourself is the most important thing. You already said it sister, you FEEL better, you fit your clothes better, your hair is healthier.. YOU are the most important factor! Keep up the great work!!!

So I am down 16+ pounds in less than 2 months. I know it has not been that long or that much weight, but I feel drastically different. Better outlook, wearing nicer clothes, happier. Even my hair looks better.

Meanwhile, not one person has said a word. Coworkers, friends, nothing.

In the past, I have lost less weight and had people ask if I had been losing weight. I know I have much more to go, but I would have thought I would have someone notice. Ugh.

aw . They see you everyday, probably why. However, it is guaranteed that one day you will go into work or see your friends and they will ALL notice at the same time.

btw 16lbs IS a lot of weight, so you can stop thinking that it isn't right now! :flowerforyou:

I think I had lost about 35-40 pounds before anyone noticed I had lost weight. Now that I have lost around sixty pounds all my co-workers notice, but my family still doesn't notice anything. Just keep up the good work and do it for yourself and your health!

I know it feels good to have them notice but be sure your doing it for YOURSELF you can get discouraged easly if your doing it for other's to notice.

Last year, after I had lost nearly 20 lbs, a coworker asked if I was pregnant. Apparently my weight loss everywhere else made my stomach pooch that much more noticeable. Mrrrrrr!!!!
