Well I am doing really well. I feel good and think I look better. I am close to 25 pounds down, another 25 and I will be very happy with myself. I am just a bit bummed no one has commented. So now I look to you guys.. ha. I am not that concerned because I do this for myself, but some positive comments would be nice to see. How long does that take? Or do people just not want to say anything? Or just not that noticeable yet? thanks folks!
Apparently I can't read as my topic suggests.. Yikes.

People have noticed. It's very noticeable. It's just a dangerous topic, so people avoid talking about it.0

You look great! awesome job! Keep it up!!0

Thanks, but oh there is a gut still there big time, honesty that was a good "suck in" for the photo... ha0 -
You're looking great and there is a huge difference for sure. Maybe if you're around the same people every day, they don't notice because the change is gradual. Hit up some people you haven't seen in a few months! I'm sure they'll notice off the bat. Keep it up!0

You look great and there is no doubt people have noticed...sometimes people dont say it because they dont want to say you were heavy.You probably get alot of smiles and head nods.0
-
Well I've noticed. I can see a massive difference. Well done.0
-
you look amazing, I can't believe no one has said anything to you.0
-
Congratulations! You look great and it's a huge accomplishment:)0
-
You're doing awesome!!! I agree with everyone else - it's noticeable and people are either seeing it so gradually or afraid to bring it up. Keep up your great work!!!0

Wow, I can see a difference! You look great!0

Trust me, with a change like that, people have noticed!
A lot of people shy away from the topic because they don't want to bring up old pains.

Thanks everyone, just what the doctor ordered. You guys f@ckn ROCK!0

You look great and I'm sure people have noticed! People have different reactions. Some people might be very straight and ask you how much you lost, some might say you look good, and some might comment on your new hairstyle! I know I have had all of the above, and I have lost 100 lbs. Some people might not comment from politeness (like they didn't comment when you gained the weight) and some might think you lost the weight from being sick.
BUT, as everyone has said here, you do look noticeably more fit, so congrats!0 -
You look awesome, and it is very apparent that you lost a lot of weight! 25 pounds is nothing to sneeze at!
Keep up the GREAT job!!!0 -
I wonder, when you're not particularly young any more (like both of us), if people think it's possible we're sick or something rather than losing weight to get in shape. Looks to me like you're doing really well. Keep it up!0
-
Well done! There is definitely a change in your appearance and I'll bet you have noticed a big difference in how you feel too. Congrats!0
-
Great job! Sometimes people are stupid and feel like they shouldn't comment.
Nice WRIF shirt by the way!0 -
Impressive!0
-
Awesome! You're lookin' great! (It look about 60 pounds down before anyone commented for me...)0

Thank You! \m/0 -
I can certainly see a difference in that photo.0

I've lost 42 lbs in the past three months and no one in my office has said anything except my boss...I don't know, maybe it's not that noticeable yet ;-)0
-
This was my case for a long time too. People commented on how my hair was growing out long before they would say anything about my weight. It wasn't until I showed up somewhere in rather form-fitting clothes that I received any comments at all.I've lost 42 lbs in the past three months and no one in my office has said anything except my boss...I don't know, maybe it's not that noticeable yet ;-)
Losing weight is like getting pregnant. You're all excited about your good news, but people are afraid to comment on it in case it's not good news for whatever reason. Trust me, they notice. It's very noticeable. You look great!0 -
Do men comment about weight as much as women? Perhaps men don't want to embarrass you about dieting? And women don't want to come across as flirting? Maybe men don't want to be seen as flirting or noticing your body either...
Coworkers may hesitate because of harassment laws. Some may be afraid to say "you look great!" and have you reply "I have cancer" or something of the sort. People who have been around you every day may NOT have noticed since it's gradual, especially if they never see you with your shirt off.
ETA: They may also not want a "so you think I was fat/ugly before?" type reaction. I see threads on MFP complaining about well-meant comments.
Anyway, great work :flowerforyou: ! Who cares what anyone else thinks? You look better and feel better!0 -
Wow - your 25 pounds lost are A LOT more obvious than my 25 pounds lost (nobody has said anything to me yet either, but I lose equally from earlobes to little toe). You look great. Must be the Alberta winter and all those layers of clothes...wait until spring - bet you will get lots of comments then!! - your fellow Canadian0
-
Well it would help if you would spring for a new t shirt that fit and did not look like it belonged to someone else. You are worth a new T shirt. or 2 or 3 for that matter . At least 2 - one to wash and one to wear. If you are not acknowledging you shrinking bod then others will think that is what you want - no acknowledgement, It is readily apparent that you have shrunk quite a bit and are looking much better and the rest of the world is not blind but they would not want to embarrass you either.0
-
Wow! Great job! If people that don't know you nor have seen you in person can tell the weight loss, you can bet that people who know you definitely have seen difference. Keep it up!
