See, I get it the other way: people haven't seen me in a long time and they are like "You look different. Did you do something to your hair?" and I want to be like "Do you have a hairdresser than can make someone look 100 lbs thinner? Can I have her number?"

:rofl:

Yeah, me too, schmead!:rofl:

THAT'S AWESOME!!! The progress you have made is very encouraging to me.

CONGRATS on getting NOTICED :)

Good for you! And as someone told me once, I bet for every one person who says something, there are ten more who don't know how. ;)

I had an experience when someone asked me if I had lost weight, when I responded yes, another person I knew, was all, "Phew!! I noticed but I was afraid something was wrong", there's such a fine line between asking in order to compliment and being seen as insensitive, you know?

:woohoo: That must be the BEST feeling!!! I haven't had anyone notice yet, I don't think I've lost enough. Keep up the awesome work. It's so nice to see other people notice our hard work, even if we are really doing it for ourselves.

thanks again everyone!

The compliments thing that a lot of people mentioned is funny because for the past few months, I have been getting lots of compliments about my clothes (oh, nice color!) and some new make up I had tried and things like that. And yes, I did think that people noticed I looked better even if they hadn't put the pieces together and realized it was from losing weight.

It was nice to get the compliments but nicer to have someone specifically notice/mention weight!

No one has really noticed my weight loss. I can't believe even my neighbor has said nothing. My immediate family and my mom and dad know I am dieting and so compliment me, but others around me don't? I am not sure why, but surely they can see a 70 pound difference? I don't get it! But I guess the real reward is in how much better and healthier I feel.

that's bizarre - there is no way it's not noticeable!
