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

Who cares what any of them say/think. You are doing this for you....not for them. Be proud of your accomplishment.

I agree--keep up the good work; it's very noticeable in your face

Sounds like someone's colleagues might have jealousy issues. You certainly can see a difference. Keep up the great work and don't worry about anyone with any negativity. Life's too short!

When you put the pics side by side, I can definitely see a difference. Might I suggest wearing tight, suggestive clothing around your colleagues? It's easiest to see weight loss in that apparel.

For suggestions of clothing that would help, just visit peopleofwalmart.com. Certainly, we would notice a difference in many of those outfits. :noway:

Call in sick for a few weeks! Then they'll notice! Lol seriously though, you can definitely tell you've lost weight.

You look great! Nice shirt, btw

They are trying to say they didn't notice your were overweight in the first place I reckon. Their way of trying to be nice?

First of all - Congrats on 23 lbs! That's fantastic!
I can definitely see the change - your jaw is totally defined now!
My husband is always the last to notice any of my changes - I think because he sees me every day, so it's hard to see when the changes are happening before your eyes every day... too subtle. We can all see it in your photo because we can see a true then/now photo.
Don't you worry about your coworkers - just be proud of yourself and keep it up!

I can see a difference, but it's often really really hard for people who see you every day to tell until you've lost 40-50lbs, particularly if you lost the weight slowly.

To me your face looks quite different, but if I saw you every day I might not be able to tell. It's funny though when it dawns on people - they'll ask if you've lost weight - and you'll be like - yeah man - A LOT - but there's something in our brains that doesn't allow us to notice it right away or something.

mlhandsmp

first of all well done, there is a big difference, but as others have said, maybe your colleagues don't notice because they see you every day. do you have holidays to take? maybe after a couple of weeks away from work someone would notice.

abbezen

I see a HUGE difference....nicely done! Keep up the good work!

beccacoug

Bring those pictures to work and remind them of how you looked 23 lbs ago! You look fantastic! 23 lbs is a lot of work - keep it up (although you don't appear as though you need to lose anymore!)!!

Letters24You

Huge difference!! Definitely show them comparison pics!

des24rob

I agree with the above commenters. I can tell. But they see you everyday! Congrats on your loss, forget their bad attitudes. You've done a great thing!

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.

This!!! my best friend didn't notice that i lost 25 lbs and my height is 5' 1" so it was a big difference!!don't worry, it isn't a bad thing!

but i have to say everybody seems to notice when i gained those 25 lbs:explode: :explode: in fact it was the first thing everybody made a comment on!

You're right, people are always there to complain when we gain weight but never to compliment! Thanks for the support!

I'm tempted to print them out actually... infact, I'll do just that! Thanks for the support!

I never thought of it this way... good point!

ethannosaurus

I see a difference RIGHT away. Your face is slimmer. Don't be fooled by your co-workers they are pulling your leg

littlebuddy84

Ur colleagues are blind I think. I can see a big difference well done :-)

SPBROOKS68

They are blind - tell them to get their eyes checked

MrsHutcho9988

I can tell, but people who are around you all the time dont notice things like that unless its a huge weight loss like 50-100+lbs. You look great though so dont let it bug you.
