It's nothing big but..... I weighed in this morning here at work. I had to grab a nurse to make sure I was seeing it correctly. She said YEP, you lost 12 pounds! Wow it feels wonderful, but I still don't see it yet. I haven't got my first, "WOW you look thinner", yet. But still not discouraged.

    Im down almost 13 pounds and I haven't gotten to many of those WOW you have lost weight comments...except from the hubby..which is fine..I am a nurse and I know i have less of a muffin top in my uniforms...so I'm waiting to hit that 20 lb loss mark to see if I get any WOW moments from others...Keep it up!!!

    Congratulations! I had the same thing happening. I lost 12lbs and no one really noticed, but don't worry, they will. My husband had lost over 20 before many people said anything to hiim. Sometimes people notice, they just don't say anything right away. Keep it up!

    I'm down 39 lbs and haven't gotten the comments I expected (especially from a few people I hadn't seen in 3-4 months - you would think they'd have noticed!), but I think people are sometimes afraid to say something because then they are somewhat admitting out loud that you are/were fat. It's such a sensitive subject...and I've made the mistake before with a friend of thinking & commenting on her lost weight & she actually hadn't lost anything. Ouch!

    Great job on your weight loss. That's why most of us are here & it's inspirational to hear of others' successes!

    Congrtulations! I remember when I hit my first 10... then... 15.... now I'm up to 30. It just keeps feeling better and better. And don't worry... you will get that WOW factor moment when you least expect it!

    That's amazing! 12 pounds is defnitely something to brag about! & the reason you might not be hearing 'you look thinner' is because people see you everyday! Once you are away from them for a week or they see an old picture of you then you will hear it! Besides, you are not doing it for them, you are doing it for you!

    Great job!
