    Ask if they want to help me look for it. That's what you do when you lose things, right?

    bahahaha... love it.

    the only person who has told me i've lost weight is my husband (because i've only lost a couple pounds)

    in the past i've said, "Really?? Thanks!! I've been trying to eat better and exercise.. I use this site called My Fitness Pal... etc etc"

    I'm like "Oh Pssshhhhhhh"...and then usually when they ask, they are like, "you're gonna stop losing weight now, right?" or "you're getting too skinny"..... it gets irritating...I usually just say I'm not really trying to lose weight to keep them off my back.

    I punch them in the stomach and yell "How dare you!"

    I really just smile and say thanks.

    My doctor asked me " Do you know you have lost over 50 lbs? "
    Me " Oh, I was wearing my winter coat when the nurse weighed me"

    I usually just smile and say I haven't lost any weight.

    @ op
    I not sure if your pictures are right on your profile. I don't see any belly there. Great job young lady! :)

    Aw :D thank you haha
    I'm holding off right now saying a comment like " if only you could see it when I sit down" or something lol

    Love it! My NEW response will be this! :D

    When people comment on how small I've become I usually say thanks, but then follow it with telling them it is a work in progress!

    I had someone this week at work comment on my weight loss and I thanked them- then they announced they had also lost 25 lbs which I had not noticed but could see once they pointed it out. That was a little awkward.

    I lost about 15lbs in 2009-2010, and I've been much the same weight since then, but I think my mum remembers me fat - every time I go home to visit she says 'oh, you've lost weight again, how much do you weigh now?' I'm like - 'um, the same as last time you saw me...' I think she has a mental image of me as heavier that she hasn't managed to change so it's just annoying now!

    depending on how it's said ( and assessment of any underlying sarcasm), I smile and accept the compliment graciously...after all, it's hard work that got me here.

    I always "yeah, but I've got a long way to go" and then usually change the subject. I had a friend come over yesterday who I hadn't seen for about a month, and she said "you've lost more weight, haven't you, you can tell", then I felt awkward as she kept on looking at my stomach and then I could see her breathing in all the time! haha. x

    All my friends and family know I am losing weight, MFP updates my Facebook page and I am proud of what I am acheiving. I usually get "wow, you can really see how much weight you've lost now" followed by "so how much have you lost so far?"
    It took 30lb before the first person noticed I'd lost some weight so I enjoy it, it spurs me on :drinker:

    I tell them "Thanks, it's even more impressive naked, you know what I'm saying?" Then I kinda stare at them. Really awkward at work, especially since it's mainly guys who have noticed so far...

    I just deny it or say "I haven't lost THAT much".
