This happened to me and I'm no where near my goal, but I've also had a sort of make-over too. An old boss was out to lunch with her friends, and I happened to walk by and she was just like, "Oh my gosh, I cannot believe it. You look stunning." It always makes you wonder if you looked THAT bad before.

This actually happened to me twice last week. On Friday and then Sunday, I waited on people that I knew but hadn't seen in years. It was funny to see their blank looks of confusion for several seconds. Even funnier because both of those people knew I worked there, so who else was enthusiastically greeting you with my name on their name tag?

It feels really good to see the double takes, for sure.

I got not recognized last weekend at a car show. A couple that I hadn't seen since "before" were talking to the people next to me (my parents), and had no clue who I was. The husband came up to me later to apologize for "ignoring" me! :D

Love it!

Congratulations to all you folks who lost so much weight!! I am impressed. Have fun with it,

I haven't had the experience of not being recognized. I have, however, had a few people whom I hadn't seen in a long time do some double takes and howl something like, "Holy ****! Where's the other half of you!"

I love when that happens. Seriously. Love. It.

I think it's the most awesomest thing ever! I've been getting it a lot lately, because I got a new hairstyle just when the loss was becoming very obvious in my face. (It wasn't planned...the timing just happened that way...and I'm very glad it did.)

Lots of smiley faces for all us incognito folks! :D
