I know I have a loooooooong way since I just started, but when did people start noticing that you were losing weight? I'm wondering if anybody will notice when I lose 20-25 pounds? lol I'm a little anxious about it all
People started noticing when I was down to around 240 from 265. But I think it depends where you carry your weight and where you shed the weight first.
Still, people may notice much earlier on, but might feel uncomfortable commenting on it (even in a good way) out of fear of embarrassing you, etc. I remember this one family function when I was about 240lbs and my mother was SOOO proud of me all she talked about the entire time was my weight and body. I was humiliated; I still felt fat and had many issues with my body and having all that attention on me and my weight the entire day was AWFUL.
i think a lot has to do with how heavy you are to start with.. but my friend who is 5'6 was about 220 and when she hit 199 you could really tell. She has stalled since hitting that point but people still compliment her.
Some people noticed the other day that i'd lost weight and i have currently lost 20lb since February. I don't know how they could tell though, i can't!
I lost about 40 pounds before anyone noticed. Funny story, my boss at that time was a guy about my age. One day I walked into work wearing new clothes that actually fit (I had lost 40 lb over 4 months) and he was like "Did you lose a bunch of weight overnight?". The words were out of his mouth before he knew what he said! He was trying to recover that he "didn't mean it like that" - - I let him flounder a bit before I said, "no, I just bought new clothes". We laughed about that for a long time and he ended up becoming very helpful to me in learning about nutrition. He was so worried that I was losing too fast, but it was really that no one noticed until I wore clothes that actually fit me.
I agree with Mom2QJandT... In the past people have noticed when I have worn different clothes and not hidden myself in swampy t-shirts and baggy jeans.
Not many people ever said anything to me. People who knew I was trying would say stuff but I was down 50 pounds before anyone that didn't know said anything.
I'd lost 25-30lbs before people started noticing.
It was seriously like nobody noticed til one day and then everyone noticed, it was odd!
Keep at it, everyone will notice soon enough
Height: Tall enough for my feet to reach the ground
I dont think it is that people "dont notice". I honestly think that a lot of people are sensitive about weight so others are fearful of saying something....
I was down from 215 to 170 before people noticed (or said something). But then I gained a little back and from 180 to 170 people were starting to ask if I had lost weight recently....
When I first lost the weight.. people noticed from 190-170... but a lot of people asked if I meant to lose the weight... Some weren't sure. LOL.. when I got down to 150, my family started telling me I'd lost too much.. that was what kinda made me rest a bit... But since I've gained a little back, I decided I want to get to my goal and then maintain it... People still call me a skinny minny... and such.. but I always think.. yeah, right?!! LOL...
But people will notice when they notice and be prepared to answer how as they would like to know how to magically disappear the pounds too
What a great question. I've lost 34ish over the last year and very few folks have noticed or at least said anything. I just went to a banquet last week and although I haven't seen some folks in over a year, no one said a thing. I'm down from a size 14 to a size 8. Crazy isn't it? The odd thing is I don't mind... this time isn't about the kudos, it's about me..I'm loving that .
When did people start noticing?
