Oh Linda! I knew your NSVs were out there! Yaaaaaay! And personally I think that the scale does lie, and jeans always tell the truth. There you have it!
I am sure that people are noticing. If you got a new more up to date haircut, or contacts or something, people would have no qualms mentioning it. But weight, that's another story. I told a friend that I started running and then he mentioned that he could tell tht i lost weight, but didn't want to say anything because some people are so sensitive about it. and secretive about the fact that they are trying. I said, "well I didn't take up running to get fatter!" i have a friend who is also losing weight, and she has really lost a significant amount. she won't even tell me how much, i guess since she still has a ways to go. anyway, she doesn't like it when people say something- it makes her feel like she looked like crap before.
however, i agree- let's do be more generous with compliments; it takes so little to make someone else feel good.
