  • Really!!! There's no way people haven't noticed. You look great!! Good job!!:smile:
  • Dude! Congrats, that is MAJOR progress! You have officially been noticed :)
  • It's impossible that no one has noticed because the difference is astronomical, even your face is more slim - you should be very proud.

    They're probably just too polite to say anything or maybe worried if they do, you'll make them uncomfortable by saying something like "So what? You thought I was fat before?" There is also the possibility that if you're not wearing smaller clothing that accentuates your loss that its harder to notice the difference in person.

    Whatever the reasoning is, I wouldn't worry about it, you look great, and you're doing something excellent for your health! If you're happy with the results then that's all that matters! Keep up the great work!

    Please ...........they noticed. Most times when they mention what you have done, its shed light on their own failures to lose. I tell anyone I notice that has lost weight or has on a hot outfit or nice hair! Not afraid of offending... ha-ha

    They are idiots, you freaking look great!!!!!!!!!!!! I agree, get some fitted clothes! Be proud of losing and show off!

    Carry on!

    People have notice but in our sick politically correct world they are afraid to say anything for fear of offending you. Believe it or not. But people are afraid to compliment people anymore for fear it will be taken wrong. Go figure. You are lookin good dude.
  • Looking great, keep it up!! I can't believe people haven't noticed either, however... if you feel good, it shouldn't matter what anyone else thinks :)
  • nice job man. if no one has said anything, time for new friends. it's definitely noticeable
  • That's crazy you look great totally see a difference.

    Thanks again everyone.. Most of you say don't worry about others. I really don't, I just wanted one person, just one to say something.. well I will keep on truckin' and hopefully that one person.. happens. I think I will kiss them.. hope its not a guy! Or a girl who will kick my *kitten*!

    You look like you've lost even more weight than you have. Your guy friends probably won't say anything because it's apparently a thing that guys won't compliment other guys. My dad lost a little weight but it was really obvious in his face, and the first thing people asked him was if he was sick because he'd been at the same weight for years. It's a weird thing.

    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!

    This is so true! Sometimes people can tell something has changed but they can't tell what. It might also do you well to go shopping for something in a style that shows off your new physique. I have noticed that a lot of people just wear the same baggy style in a smaller size when they lose weight. It's not flattering at any size. Show us what you got! :)

    I find myself being the contrarian yet again.

    Dude, you are the only one who was stressing about your looks, so you are the only who to whom the change is important. Other people notice your personality, and that hasn't changed. You are still as friendly, helpful, rude, or sarcastic as before. So unless you have also undergone a personality change -- if you became *****y because you don't get enough to eat, or if you became helpful because it is now easier for you to get up and move around -- there's little reason to expect people to notice.

    If your interactions with other people have not changed, why would their interactions with you have changed?
  • That is a HUGE change! I don't know why so many people don't say anything. I have lost about 55lbs. and very few people mention it!!!! It IS upsetting when you have been working so hard at it for months, but we just have to remember the reasons we are doing it, and make sure we have plenty of small goals that we reach often to remind us that we ARE getting somewhere!!! Seriously though, you can tell BIG TIME that you have lost a lot of weight. No worries there - it's working!!!!! :)

    Definitely noticeable. In fact I think the pictures look like more than a 25lb difference. Congrats!

    People often don't give compliments for many reasons but that doesn't mean they didn't notice or even say something like "Boy so-and-so really lost some weight huh?" to someone else. Also, I don't know where you live but it might be that it isn't as noticeable if you are now normally wearing bulky winter clothes.

    There is a huge difference; well done on the loss!! I'm certain people have noticed but maybe don't want to comment in case they offend you in some way.

    I've lost 29 lbs and so far only one person has commented. I personally can tell that I've lost a fair bit of weight, if others don't see it, then it doesn't really bother me!

    Definately noticable - great job! No offense, but you look like a "big guy" - meaning tall and you carry your weight well so the change can be less noticable to people around you every day.
    I went through the same thing - people who were around me every day really did not say anything until I had lost about 45 lbs, and then a lot of comments - but people who comment now still think I weight about 35 lbs less than I really do.
  • Wow! You look fantastic! People are stupid. Keep up the hard work, it's definitely working!

    You look great - hang in there, people will notice in time. I asked a couple of people I trust directly about this, and they honestly had noticed but didn't want to make a big deal about it to spare my feelings.

    I have the same problem, but my closer friends and family have said it's because I look mean. People can sometimes interpret your facial expression or assume you will react badly towards their comments.

    I'm not a mean person. I'm actually really kind to people! But I have frown face if I'm not thinking about my facial expression.


    YOU LOOK GREAT BY THE WAY!!!! :)

    You look great and more youthful. Don't be hard on people who are closest to you, there may be a valid reason as to why they have not acknowledged it.

    I wish you continued success on your healthy lifestyle.

    That's a HUGE diff--especially the stomach. It surprises me that no one has noticed.

    Well, it HAS been noticed now. CONGRATS! Looks like more than 25 pounds!!

    You look great! People have noticed but with men a lot of people are afraid to comment. Did he want to lose the weight? As others have said people are just afraid to comment!
