    Seriously, it looks like you've lost a LOT more than 23 pounds.

    It took me losing about 40 pounds for anyone to say anything and I'm 4'11!

    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.

    Wow! You look great and I cannot believe you haven't received any kudos! keep up the good work and share your tips if you have them:)

    Thank you. As for tips, here it is, I am not so good at all the technical stuff, but take it for what it's worth. I am such an all or nothing kind of guy. I just did it. No more excuses, no more whining, no more feeling sorry for myself. MFP has been awesome. I pretty much stick to it as best I can. I try to walk 1 hour (5-6 km) at least 4 times a week. Eat more plant based and cut down on sugars, processed foods, and meat. Juicing, I am juicing and loving it. That is it. This may sound harsh to many, I don't mean to sound like that, but I has really been easy. Yes I have gone to bed hungry, yes I think about food a lot, yes I don't care to exercise. Just do it.

    I also know I have a long way to go and can falter still. That is why it is uncomfortable to talk with coworkers and friends about losing weight. Lord I have failed before, but I feel more confident this time around.

    One last thing, if you have a really bad day, I have learned to not worry about it and get back on track the next day. This one has been huge for me, as last time around I would beat myself up and quit!

    One one more last last thing. I have also learned when I have worked my *kitten* off and hop on the scale and I go up in weight. Again, not to worry, if you keep doing it it will fall off. I usually find the next week I will be down.
    Hope this helps someone????

    No-one noticed or no-one said anything?

    The first time I lost weight I didn't tell anyone I was doing it (OK, one close friend) and it took 6 months and 75lbs before anyone commented!

    Partly I put this down to working in a mostly male environment and blokes not talking about this stuff as much. Also I had one guy, after I mentioned it, who told me that he'd noticed but didn't want to say anything in case I was ill.

    I don't exactly know how true this is, but it makes sense. (copy/paste it into the URL bar)

    They've probably noticed though because DANG, you've definitely made progress, but they're trying to pinpoint the difference. I've noticed when I drop 10 pounds (this isn't my first go 'round), I hear "You look different. Great, but different." No one can put their finger on it. Or maybe they aren't sure how to approach it? Either way, you look great!

    Dude, it is TOTALLY noticeable. Perhaps they are afraid to say something believing they may hurt feelings? Anyway, I WILL SAY SOMETHING. You definitely can tell the difference!

    Can't believe no one in your personal circle has commented on your weight loss. And looking at your profile pic I can't believe that this is the result of 25 lbs lost! Looks like a lot more. You look great, and you are right, keep doing it for you, cause that is all that matters. Congrats and good luck on your future goals.

    I can see the difference! I agree, I lost 25 lbs and nobody asked me if I lost weight. My grandma asked me if I were sick, because nobody knew I was trying to lose weight. They may not know that you are trying.

    I had a coworker lose 40 lbs, I could tell but I was afraid to ask him. Then he told me he was on medifast and was frustrated that nobody noticed, I just told him, I could definitely see the difference.
