Just a tiny thing...

I've lost a total of around 21 pounds so far (14 before MFP and 7 more since I started here). A co-worker called me over as we were heating our lunches in the kitchen at work and asked if I was losing weight. I told him I was trying to. He said, "I can tell."

I still can't see it yet, but apparently others can. :smile:

    That's great! I can't wait for people who don't know I'm trying to lose weight to ask if I am. I think that is a HUGE thing!

    YES! I would love for someone to notice any of my progress, because if it weren't for the scale I wouldn't be able to tell I had lost any...

    That's great. The best motivation for me is when people who have no idea you are trying to loose weight notice! You just know they really mean it. Keep it up!

    Usually you can't tell, since you see yourself everyday.
    That's why I can't wait til I lose another 40 pounds and go into my ex's store. Gonna blow her mind haha.

    That's a great achievement. You should be really proud. Take photos. Seriously. Take some every month. You will see the difference then. I never took photos when I started, and I wish I did. I am a little over half way on my journey. I took some last month and this month I can actually see the difference!

    My husband just took some pics of me the other day. I wish I'd taken some offical, before I lost any weight pics. But...I didn't know that this time would be any different from the million other times I've tried to lose weight. Even if I don't lose another pound, I've been more successful in losing 21 pounds than at any other time I remember. :)
