Ok, I am waiting until someone else notices I have lost anything. I have lost 17 lbs and I feel great, healthier, able to move easier. My pants have started getting very loose and baggy. I got brave and ordered some---a size smaller!! I got them today and THEY are almost too big!!! I love it!! I CAN DO THIS!!! I know 17 lbs isn't a lot, when I am hoping to loose 60, but ITS ALMOST 1/3 OF MY GOAL!!! Ok, will calm down now. I just had to tell someone. Thanks for .....listening?? lol. Have a great day!!

    Great job, don't get too hung up on others noticing something they don't usually notice until you lose 10% of your body weight.

    Just wait; people will start to notice and comment when you get to about 25 lbs. At least that was my experience, and that's what I read around the board. Congrats on your great progress so far!

    Congratulations. 17 pounds is nothing to sneeze at. It is wonderful, be proud of yourself. If you ever doubt how great it is, go to the grocery store and pick up a bag of dog food that weighs 15-20 pounds. Walk around the store with it. That is what you used to walk around all day with.
