have people noticed your weight loss?

People at work have noticed, but, last time they saw me I was 6 months pregnant, lol.

However, one person said there is a definate change and i look really well so that was good.

I have lost 46 and only my husband has noticed so far

Judging from your profile pics, I can't see how they could NOT notice. So I will tell you right now that it is very noticeable!

your comment just made my day haha

Good! You should receive praise for you hard work!

my 83 yr old dad said im gettin buff in my upper body " yay' for me And all that weight lifting but also thanks dad for noticing;)

one person said when they saw me from the back, they thought someone new started at work until i turned around and they were like, 'omg..you look so good..you've lost alot of weight..didn't know that was you!" it was an amazing feeling..even when customers at my work notice..it's a good feeling...good job on your 40 lbs!!

People have just recently started saying something to me. About a month ago the receptionist at my daughters dance studio asked if I had lost weight. I was really surprised, mostly because he is a man and they don't seem to notice those things like women do. I said "Yes I have. You are the first person to notice. Thanks." Then about a week later a friend of mine asked if I had lost weight. She said I look really good. That really makes your day.

My husband and immediate family all know that I have been watching what I eat and exercising. They have been very encouraging on this journey. There is something about the comments from people who don't know though. Makes it more real.

Only my family members who are also my support group have said anything...and of course they are LOOKING for improvement in how I look. I have a lot to lose, so I'm trying not to worry about nobody really noticing yet. I'm predicting that the average person in my life might notice when I'm around 50 lbs down.

I've gotten a lot of comments from people. I'm down about 50 pounds since March, after losing about 35 a couple years ago, still have another 30-40 to go. I think that it's a difficult thing for someone to bring up. A lot of people don't want to risk insulting someone by asking, "Hey, have you lost weight?" in case they haven't. One of the people that asked me about it a few weeks ago said that much. She said she wasn't sure if she should/could ask because she wasn't sure it was proper.

I have only lost about 15 (ok, I take back the only...) and the guy next to me at work told me that I am an inspiration to him and was wondering why I started to lose weight. I only met him about a year ago, so he didn't know me before I had lost my original 45 from four years ago. I think people at work can't say much because they may be afraid of sexual harassment.

I bought a size down in scrubs after 12 lb weight loss. I did get a few complements that my new scrubs looked nice on me. Another 8 lbs and maybe I can get another size down.

I was chatting with a co-worker about how weird it would be to be transgender, like your body isnt what it is suppose to be. She was like it would be like waking up in this male co-workers body. He was standing close enough to be evesdropping so I gave a funny face and was like OMG. She asked him how he would feel if he woke up with my body. He laughed and said he would never leave the house.

When I was in high school and lost the weight for the first of many times, I was hanging out at a park waiting to meet up with a friend. A little boy, maybe 3 years old, looked up and said wow your beautiful. It didnt look like anyone put him up to it either.

I got very few comments until I finally broke down and went shopping for smaller clothes, then everyone seemed to notice. Until then I think they might have been afraid I'd lost the weight because of some illness I didn't want to discuss.

This, clothes seem to make all the difference in the world. When they are big and baggy, I think people notice, but just don't quite get it. I have decided I have to stay away from shopping for awhile, going broke. but I just love buying new clothes now and people have commented much more since I wear things that fit.

Last time I lost weight I went from 194 to 146 and people didn't start commenting until I hit 160 lbs or so. Think of the paper towel roll analogy. For each one you remove, not much changes. But as the roll gets smaller each piece of paper towel makes a bigger difference.

I always like this analogy.


The only people to comment recently were a guy at my gym (we're all doing a paleo challenge so he's probably paying more attention than most 'normal' people) and one of my girlfriends that I see once every 6-12 months.

Yeah, a few. Of course, I started regularly shaving my head just before I started losing weight. A LOT of people were worried that I was undergoing some treatment and were apprehensive to approach me. Now that they know what I'm doing, I'm asked about my loss all of the time.

Oh yeah. Everybody and their momma So much so sometimes you get tired of hearing it but all good.

Agreed!!
