Finally someone else noticed I've lost weight--I was just thinking yesterday that I've lost almost 20% of my original body weight! And yet only 1 person has noticed. But then this morning, we had a church breakfast and a couple people said "you looking really different-have you lost weight?" I was so happy! dance.gif

When I told how much I lost, everyone had to know how I've done it!

Of course, this was all happening as I was stuffing my face with Scrapple :frown: I couldn't help it. I haven't splurged in 3 months, and I LOVE Scrapple! I never buy it for the house, so I just got several slices of it and was chowing down. But I'm going to the gym this afternoon, so I'm still good for the day.

    Gratz on getting noticed!!:flowerforyou:

    Don't worry about the minor setback you had. You realized that you had one and you are taking the steps to correct it. Thats all that matters!! :wink:

    Wow, you'd think that someone would have noticed before now with all the weight you've lost! But, oh well, at least they finally DID notice! I'm sure it must have felt great having people compliment you on your weight loss! Feels good, doesn't it?!

    :glasses: :drinker: Isn't it a great feeling to have someone notice - I have talked about My Fitness Pal to everyone - even the lady in the next booth in the dressing room - she wrote down the website and said she was "joining up" too.

    I'll bet people have noticed but didn't want to say anything, just in case. Isn't it horrible when you ask someone if they've lost weight, and they say no, then that lingering "well you needed to" kinda hangs in the air? ... or maybe that's just me. But I hate approaching people until they broach the topic of weight loss, or I can see a huge difference in their size. So that said, I'm SURE people have noticed but were afraid to say anything.
