Default Someone finally noticed!

So I was thinking it was going to take like 10 more pounds before anyone noticed but today at work my friend who I haven't seen in about a week said "you look like you've lost weight" and then one of my supervisors told me my shirt was slimming. I wanted to be like "That's not my shirt, that's me!" but I held it in. But I had no idea how good it would feel to have people notice!

It would have taken every bit of my willpower to keep from bundling her up in a big ol' bearhug! That's absolutely wonderful, you must have been smiling all day after that!

Oh, that is so great! It really makes you feel like you're not just running on one of those hamster wheels; you're making real progress!

Awesome! Good for you. I've had my other (in-person) diet-buddies tell me they can see a difference, but that's it. I feel like everyone knows I'm trying to lose weight, so even if they say anything, I kind of feel like, "right... sure you see a difference..." Owell. I see my doctor on Friday, and I'm sure she doesn't even remember what I look like (since I've only met her once so far...) But, she's got my weight from November written down... so it'll be noticeable that way.
