fivestone Hi! Nice to see a post from you! hope all is well with you
Hi Elle! Thanks! Yeah, I got stressed and sick and lost too much weight and now need to build myself back up at least 5-10 pounds. I know that's not ideal, so I felt weird about posting. But I'm trying to get back on track, and hopefully I'll be back to where I need to be in no time flat.
for me, most of people usually commented that "have you gained weight?"
even though I was losing weight.
NO one ever notice that i look smaller but they always think I look bigger.
WTH.
The "you're losing weight" usually come out of sheer polite from few people I don't really remember anyways.
So yeah. >"<
Well, I've lost about 13lbs by now, but people can't see it yet. Mostly because it's gone off my upperbody, which was tiny to begin with. And I managed to wear clothes that hid the extra belly fat and such. So - I think once I start losing it from my legs - people might see. Who knows?! There's a bunch of people that won't see me till I've lost about 20lbs - I am so looking forward to that. Let's hope they notice! LOL.
fivestone oH NO! Hopefully you will get better soon. I understand about not wanting to post. Its hard to comment about gaining when EVERYONE on 3fc is talking about going in the other direction! Best of luck to you
I've lost 10, and no one seems to have noticed yet, even though I've noticed a ton of changes in myself! I didn't take 'before' pics, but I took pics at 125 and compared them to 120 and was not impressed, haha. Even my fiance hasn't seemed to notice, though he does see that I've gone from not being able to run 5 minutes to running for an hour (he says 'How do you even do that?! I would die!!').
Maybe it's because I was this weight at this time last year...gained a ton of weight really fast during the winter when I wasn't showing any skin, and now I'm back down to this weight for summer...so it doesn't look like I've changed at all!
What's going on? I've lost a total of 32 lbs and no one (except Hubby) has said a word....
Maybe people assume that we are super sensitive about our weight and decide it's better not to bring it up at all. It would be awkward if someone looked like they lost weight but didn't or didn't know that they did so that when you say "OMG have you lost weight?" they say "No..." and it plants that little seed in their brain saying "Do I need to lose weight?"

From your stats, sounds like you're pretty thin -- BMI 19.5 or so, which can make some body types appear underweight. So, people could be possibly concerned about your weight and are unsure of what to say. But what they're thinking doesn't really matter, as long as you're healthy and happy with where you're at!
In general people rarely seem to comment on anything less than ten pounds, but I have 2 friends who seem to notice and comment on even the slightest weight changes. Also, I think that people may notice but not comment. Coworkers and casual acquaintances probably feel weird commenting on weight loss that is not really, really noticable and significant- I know I would.
I'm really looking forward to that "have you lost weight?" comment. I'm a fair bit off yet, I've only lost ~4lbs, but I think another 4 or so pounds and people might start mentioning it. I hope so, anyway.
My male bestfriend said to me, after like 10 lbs lost: "stop shrinking your boobs!" I was like **** you haha.
Ater 15-17 lbs he was "don't lose anymore! You are sexier at this weight than at 120, but don't go lower". :P He like some shape I think, but I don't care as he's my friend haha.
My boyfriend always give me compliments when I "look" skinnier
