I was starting to wonder if it looked at all like I had lost some weight.. I know its only 18lbs so far but I have been waiting for the day it was noticed. My Mom was the only person that has said anything... until today. A coworker noticed and commented on it!
FINALLY!! Its a good feeling to be complimented!

:happy:

    Believe me people will have noticed, but many don't comment or compliment! Stick with it and know that you look 18 pounds slimmer, keep it up :)

    That's great! Congrats!! I've had a few family members tell me they've noticed mine (down 12 lbs)...but sometimes I wonder if they only do it to make me feel better---either way I'll take it!

    That's awesome!!!!

    The same thing happened to me. I've only lost 16 lbs and four people told me today that my pants are getting too big.

    Hi All,

    I'm sure quite a lot of the noticing thing is about what you're wearing. I have a pair of pants that make at least one or two people say 'have you lost weight' each time I wear them, even if I haven't lost! It's just that they're fitted and flattering.

    If you're wearing the same baggy, shapeless clothes you used to wear, folk are less likely to notice, I think. If you're not ready to go down a size, try a belt over your tops, wearing a tight waistcoat, rolling up sleeves, wearing a knee-length skirt so folks can see your legs or anything else you can do to show off your slimmer figure.

    Enjoy and well done!

    I had lost 19 pounds and no one was noticing at work because I see them every day. My husband and Son noticed and friends who had not seen me in while.

    Then I dropped 22 pounds and I had a couple of comments. Then I hit 25 pounds and now everyone is saying... Wow are you loosing weight? Now it is to the point that it is irritating because I have been loosing weight for 4 months!

    Don't give up you will be amazed at how people who see you daily do not see the weight loss until you have lost a significant amount of weight.

    Congrats on your success. Seeing other people lose and lose more than me has kept me motivated knowing that if they can do it I can do it too.

    Congrats again!
