23 lbs lost - colleagues say I've not lost weigh!

jjnt007

There is a huge difference between the pictures. You just keep at your goal. Dont worry about negative comments.

Clearly noticeable!

love22step

You've lost your baby face and look more manly.

kabloozi

Of course you have! Very noticeable in your face and chest from what I can see and people tell me I am very normal...;)
Great work buddy! 20 + pounds do not go unnoticeable here!!!

A real difference! However, sometimes when people see us every day they don't notice the change. Great accomplishment!

I can certainly see a difference, but a lot of times people who see you everyday don't notice those changes until you've lost ALOT. I think it took until I had lost around 50 pounds before people started commenting on it. Then it goes in spurts. Thankfully I've hit a new round of people noticing and commenting, because I've hit a bit of a plateau, which can be discouraging. It will come! I don't know if it is the same with guys, but I found that people noticed more when I started buying new clothes and wearing those instead of just my old clothes fitting looser.

Same with me! My coworkers didn't notice until I lost about 50lbs--and they noticed because I too started wearing tighter fitting clothes and more dresses and skirts than I used too.

You can definitely see it in your face.
Great work so far.

This is what my trainer told me when I first got started:

It takes about 3 months for you to feel different
6 months for other people to notice (and mention it)
And 9 months for you to see it

Your collegues are blind!! Way to go, keep up the great work!

Change your clothes.

Got for a more fitted shirt. The t-shirt hides it all. (talking from experience here).

Then again it's a shame you work with people who are so clearly ignorant. :grumble:


Good effort on the loss.

I bet they're just jealous! I can tell in your face you've lost

striveforhealthy

There is a difference. Congrats!

It's probably because they see you often and the changes are gradual.
The people I associate with here don't really realize how much I have lost because it's been a gradual process but when I go back home to visit family/friends twice a year, they are amazed each time.

Even with my husband, I don't think he really understands the amount I've lost. I've lost 70lbs but it's been over the course of a year and a half so if I were to show him old pictures of me he would probably be astounded by the changes.

Just keep pushing on and ignore them if they are really doubting your weight loss. Pretty rude anyways of them telling you that you haven't...

It takes 4 weeks for you to notice your body changing...and 12 weeks for the rest of the world to notice. Give it 12 weeks. Don't quit!!!!

AlyiEli2017

I see the weight loss. Great job! Keep up the good work. As long as you know you lost thats all that matter.

angie_sample

i can really tell a difference. You look great!

jcpmoore

I'm at 23 lbs lost myself! Congratulations! I say print off your dual picture from here and post in your cube! Then they'll see the change. When folks see you daily it's easy for them to not notice.

ProjFit

Its very noticeable, especially in your face. Your doing great.. keep it up! sometimes our colleagues dont notice a weight difference because we see them everyday. I bet if you were to see someone you haven't seen in a while they would definitely notice a change.

yuliyax

Ha, you are fit on the second picture :embarassed:

bradXdale

You can definitely tell man.

HotCuppaJo

I can totally tell from the pics... Show them the pics and they will see it. It's just that they see you every day and that makes steady weightloss much harder to notice. Keep doing what you're doing! You look fantastic!

mogletdeluxe

I think it's noticeable - but I don't see you every day

It took about 3 stone (42lb) before I started getting consistent "have you lost weight?" comments.

killinme

They see you everyday. That is the only reason they can't see it my friend.

CONGRATS!!!

DominiqueSmall

You're friends need new glasses. It is definitely noticable. You look fantastic! Keep up the great work.

EyesOfBlue68

Definitely noticeable!! Way to go!

bizgirl26

I could understand them not noticing because sometimes the ones that see you everyday dont notice but if you tell them they shouldnt argue with you lol. People have noticed mine with a 12 pound loss but unfortunately there are some catty people out there

pixelberry

That's a BIG difference, someone who sees the side-by-side photos can tell, and people you haven't seen in awhile would notice too. Keep up the fantastic work!

acresfield

In fairness, you seem to be one of those lucky people who doesnt really carry it around your face. and since I assume that they are not checking you out in the shower then they may not have noticed.

It is very noticeable in the pictures though.. get them printed on a tshirt and wear it to the office

hilarryus

I can tell a difference, especially in your face. As said below, it took me losing about 70lbs or so before people in my office began to notice. And like someone else said you are totally doing this for you and if you feel better, thats all that matters! Keep it up

Lula16

i can totally see a difference. Your colleagues might not notice it as much since you them everyday. I say continue doing what your doing, your definitely doing something right!

adavis59

I can see the difference right away between the two pictures. You're working with a bunch of "haters". You look great, keep it up!

mcpherson4

I can see it! They are jealous!!!
