Sorry but this is exciting! This morning at work a coworker asked me if I was "getting skinny." I said "I am trying!." She told me I looked much thinner around the middle, which of course has made my day. I was wondering at what point someone would notice and there it is...at 14 pounds down!

    Now isn't that a great feeling!?! I was excited the first time anyone noticed my weight loss too! It really is motivating and kinda confirms it in you mind that your hard work actually IS paying off and you're not just busting your butt for nothing lol! Congrats and enjoy your day...you've earned it!

    Congratulations on your being noticed by others. I like it when others notice. So, again, congratulations on that and your current weight loss.

    That is just great! I know that we are trying to better our health and life for ourselves, but it is so rewarding for people to notice the change and give us a compliment! I have found that I think I look so much different but not that many people seem to notice either.

    WTG!! WHoo-Hoo

    Good for you!! I bet you've had a smile on your face since, you lucky thing :) I still haven't had anyone say anything to me without me first prompting by talking about my diet..lol

    Well done, and well done on your weightloss x
  • Congratulations. It makes you feel wonderful and makes it all worth it when you get notice. I feel the same way. I notice a difference in my pants but to just look at me I do not but then I will see someone that I dont see everyday and they say that they can notice it alot. I am down 22lbs since 1/4/11 and have 7 more to go to meet my first goal of 30lbs by august. I hope it happens and I can get a new summer wardrobe to go on vacatio. Keep up the good work and again congratulation.

    my weightloss efforts were finally noticed as well on Saturday. I went to work at a salon I work at PT and hadn't seen a few co-workers in a while. They were all telling me how great i looked and asked how I was doing it. I was so happy inside. It makes you feel really good and gives you the motivation to keep it up!!!

    I wasn't putting much stock in what others thought as I started doing MFP but I would be lying if I said it doesn't feel good! :blushing: It certainly gave my motivation a boost.

    It's nice when someone who knows you're trying to lose weight comments, but it means SO SO SOOOOO much more when someone who had no idea comments about your weightloss!!!! I had this experience a couple weeks ago =)

    First … Why are you apologizing??? That's outstanding! CONGRATS on the loss and enjoy that feeling … it will be the first of many many milestones.

    Second: Wise words of advice from my personal trainer, who is also a body builder and still competing (and placing) at almost 59 years old: "Do or Do Not … there is no 'try'."

    You are down 14 pounds – that means that YES, you ARE "getting skinny" (that is doing, not trying) :) You only attain success through doing - the word "try" is simply a pre-cursor to an action or an expected result. Trying doesn't actually get results, it's the "doing" that is getting you those great results, so proudly tell anyone who notices "Yes, I am getting skinny"! :) NICE JOB!!
