    Congratulations! This just happened to me yesterday too. Actually she said 'OMG you've lost so much weight - where has your bum gone?' LOL. The funny thing is, I actually haven't lost a great deal of weight, but I think I've lost inches. But it is a wonderful feeling to have someone notice because you've got some affirmation that all that hard work is making a difference! :-)

    A co-worker just commented the other day saying, "It looks like you've lost about 10 lbs." REALLY??? I've lost 70 already. Am I really THAT fat? This was discouraging, but I'm not going to let it bother me. I'm going to keep at it.

    A few days ago my mom and dad hadn't seen me since I'd started MFP and noticed instantly (even though it's only been 4 pounds or so). It felt absolutely fantastic! I've gotten my mom to look into trying it and my dad as well.

    I have lost 30lbs in 5months and my friend asked me if my diet was working. It is the first time she has commented.

    for me, i never admit it. when they ask, I want to hide. it's incredibly embarrassing. i don't know why but i've always felt that way.

    I went to a friend's house for dinner with the family and both our hosts asked if I had been going to the gym /flattered

    Great NSV!

    I teach a nursery class, and one of the parents of a child who left my class last summer didn't recognise me the other week as I have lost 40lbs since she last saw me. That felt good :bigsmile:

    I haven't had many people comment. But then they didn't comment that I was getting fat when I put the weight on either. :laugh:
    I saw someone last week at the swimming pool. Our daughters used to be in the same mum and child swimming lessons. She commented that I'd lost weight and looked really good. I've lost 40 lbs now. I was really pleased.

    I think its because the weight sits around my middle, its harder to see the change.

    I've had a couple of people tell me that I'm looking really well I think that's because they're not sure :laugh:
    I haven't talked about losing weight because I think people who go on about their diets the whole time are boring.

    People have different filters: some blurt anything out without thinking, others will hold off and hold off until they're sure they won't embarrass anyone. Once I had gained, and a co-worker said wow, you're looking great. :huh:

    It feels so awesome for someone other than yourself to notice that you have lost weight. I was soo happy that I wanted to work out so more people can notice that I am losing weight.
