have people noticed your weight loss?

Sometimes I wonder if people have noticed because not many people have said anything, but then again I am guilty of noticing that someone has lost weight and deciding not to comment because I don't want to make them uncomfortable so that could be why.

It's funny even though I run by myself, I see the same people out most mornings and there is always a slight nod but the other morning these guys (who are serious runners and in great shape) slowed down and gave me the biggest high-fives and the one called me the incredible shrinking woman. I think I blushed 50 shades of red, but luckily it was dark and my face was already red from the workout and the sweat. They said I should join them on their weekend long runs, you know, they only run 20-25 kilometres on the weekend. I just laughed and said maybe some other weekend, yeah maybe in 6 months. But it was in that moment, I realized something I kept calling myself a runner/walker but guess what I am a runner and now I need that shirt that says on the back "does this shirt make my *kitten* look fast?"

I have not told my parents, whom I have not seen since last Christmas, that I have been losing weight. I cannot wait to see their faces when I step off the plane this Christmas, since I have lost 100lbs already and probably a few more by the time I go to visit.

When I used to work at a gym daycare I would get comments at least once a day about it. I get them less often, but yeah, people comment on it a few times a week (not the same person, of course!). I usually get a comment every time I get ID'd, haha, that will change when I get a new one in January, though!

I've lost 33lbs and NONE of my clients at work have noticed but I think they are afraid to say something. One of them looked me up and down a few times and asked me how I have been and she kept looking at me like she noticed something but didn't say lol! I think once we drop a little more people will really start to notice! Don't give up girl you can do it!

I just started (hasn't even been a week), but people noticing is actually what I am worried about. I work at an eating disorder clinic, so I need to find a way to keep people from noticing, but I need to lose a little weight in order to keep healthy. I am trying to get pregnant and it helps with fertility if you are as close to a healthy weight as possible.

Everyone at work has commented and I have made it public. Family have noticed--I haven't seen my son since this summer, so when I see him over the holdays I expect a double-take. I will see a bunch of cousins and my elderly aunt and uncle and expect my lifestyle change to be topic #1.

People I see occasionally have noticed. A lady I sang with in the choir walked up to me after church to discuss my weight loss--what my "secret" was, and several acquaintences have made comments.

My co-workers made a second round of comments when I got new uniforms for work.

It's funny because I haven't lost very much, but my body has already changed significantly as my pants all got huge on me. So weird! lol Gosh, I remember losing weight with just diet and I'd lost 30 lbs and no one noticed. Now I've only lost 8lbs, haven't really told that many people I'm working on it, but, my brother noticed. LOL, he doesn't notice ANYTHING, I was so surprised.

Love this story!! ^___^

It was not until I was down about 60 pounds that people at work started noticing. Even more so from people I had not seen in a while. Might be in part that the first 32 took a year. The next 28 took only a few months. (Thanks MFP)
It also helped that I stopped wearing 2XL polo shirts out and started wearing some shirts tucked in.
I still have 70 to go.

Most of everyone noticed when I lost around 12-15 lbs. I must say when people notice, it does make you work harder. It also makes you feel good about yourself and the lifestyle changes you are making as well.
