Eerie NSV?
 
I thought I’d post this here, since it’s a good thing. Last night I was out celebrating a friend’s birthday, and one of my friends (male) said “you look great, what have you lost now 30 lbs?” And I’m like yeah and thanks for noticing, since I’ve never really brought my weight loss up with this particular friend so it’s not like I’ve been talking about the weight I’ve lost around him. So, how did he peg it almost to the pound just by looking at me? About 2 weeks ago my boyfriend’s dad’s partner (I know, that might be a little confusing, but it’s irrelevant to this anecdote) also noticed I’d lost weight and he guessed 25-30 lbs. I mean it’s awesome that people are noticing and stuff, but it’s kind of weird that 2 people came up with almost exact numbers with me even asking them to guess.

Is it just me? I am no good at being able to tell how much a person weighs or how much they’ve lost just by eyeballing. Just thought I’d share. This happen to anyone else?

I'm not good at the guessing game either!
Congrats though on people noticing! Isn't it the greatest feeling ever! It helps give you the motivation to keep going strong.

Congrat's on the terrific weight loss. I could never guess by looking at someone either.

For some reason I think that people who don't have the weight issues can see more clearly sometimes. It is pretty easy for me to be in denial about what I really look like, and also, when I do lose weight, to see the difference. It is easier not to notice....

So, congrats on the weight loss!!
