    I have lost 14 lb, and apart from my husband, the only comment I have had is my father in law asking me if I am pregnant.

    Don't let them get you down, and remember the people you see most often will see your gradual change so may not notice it as much as those you don't see often.

    My friends noticed and commented after about 1.5 to 2 stone because they were looking for it but not so close acquaitances didn't start commenting until 3 stone and new clothes. Hubby has never ever ever noticed or commented. I say "do you think I look like I've lost weight?" and he says "I don't know because I see you every day"
    Of course, the more you weigh to start with counts too. I had 10 stone to lose at the start so 1 stone wasn't going to make much difference.
    A lot of people think its rude to comment on weight loss. It so isn't. It ought to be the law! If you think someone has lost weight tell them. If they have worked that hard it will be the best compliment you could ever give. If they haven't, it will put a spring in their step and maybe spur them on to try that little bit harder.
    Well done and thumbs up and pat on the back from me. You're doing great. Keep on keeping on :flowerforyou:

    It does get a bit discouraging when you do all that hard work and nobody notices, doesn't it?

    For what it's worth, have a "well done" from me! :flowerforyou:

    Thank You :smile:

    Congrats on your stone lost. With myself it didn't really show until I lost closer to 2 stones even though people would tell me I look like I've lost weight I couldn't really see it when I looked in the mirror.

    Since getting my knee fixed in August i weighed around 165 by Sept

    During the last couple of months i have started running abit to now alot!

    Thanks to MFP i have been able to control my weight and now im down to 151 Pounds !

    A total of 14 Pounds (a Stone) lost in that time !!! :-)

    However i havent had one person yet say "have you lost weight" or "your looking good" or even "you look different somehow" !

    I would just like a pat on the back and a well done from someone! :-(
