When did people start realizing you were losing?

  • I have lost 20 pounds the past 2 months with WW. I have recieved compliments and praise from people who know I am on the program (mostly family...a few close friends) But I want people who don't know I am on program to realize it!! I think we all need to pat ourselves on our backs, so, tell me your success story....tell me when others began to realize YOU were losing!
  • Okay people, come on!!!! I KNOW people are telling you how fabulous you look!!
  • Hi Sherry ~

    People started to notice at about 20 pounds, and then around 50, everyone started to notice. I'm down over 100, and lifetime, and not getting the compliments that I used to ...unless I haven't seen someone in awhile, then the compliments just fly!! Picks me up quick! I write the nice things people say down, so on the weeks that I don't here, "You look great! You've lost weight!", I can go back and read what what people have said ...it gets me through the hard times.
  • Loosinit----WOW!! Over 100 pounds! That is amazing, you have so much to be proud of!! Thank you for sharing that!
  • Geez! Ya don't have to yell! Most people who see me every day knew I was trying to lose. I think other people really started to notice around 40#. "Have you lost weight?" "Oh, just 40# or so." (drop jaw)

    Now that I'm almost to 70#, I've gotten even more comments. "You have lost a TON of weight! A Ton!" "Gee thanks. Didn't know I was soooo fat."

    I don't think it was very obvious when I dropped from 230 to 215. Honestly, I was still a tubbo. Be patient. The rewards are coming!
  • Melanie--see you are an inspiration!!
    I am sorry I had to raise my voice ---but I KNOW there are people out there lurking who have fabulous stories to share!
