*laugh* I have to laugh. Apparently, the people at my work have all noticed, in the last week or so, that I've lost weight.

I finally lose 50 lbs, drop 2 pant sizes, and people are, in the last week and a half asking "Have you lost weight?"

*wiggles his smaller tushy* ;D

That is how is was for me, I told people that if a skinny person loses 15 lbs people notice but if you are heavier it takes 40 lbs or more.

Now that I lost 60 lbs people are telling me to stop and I am still 30 lbs from my goal weight of 145 lbs
Only my wife has noticed my weight lose of 24 pnds-not a single person has said a thing.
my family and people at jazzercise and work have all noticed I lost 20lbs.
Congrat's on the comments.....

Well deserved
congrats from an old friend. Good to be back and see that people do lose weight.

Keep it up.
i bet it feels good  :-)
congrats!  I know you're lovin' it!  :D 

It IS rewarding when people start to notice, and when I hit 50 pounds, a lot of people did say something.  Now, though, at 57, nobody's really saying anything anymore, and a few people haven't noticed.  Really!  I told one student, "no, thank you, I'm on a diet" when he offered me a homemade cookie from his mom.  He said, "Oh, really?  Have you lost anything?"  Now, if I'd not taught this kid in 3 other classes, that might be funny or no big deal, but really--who wouldn't notice 57 pounds gone?!?  Go figure!

Anyhow, I'm glad folks are starting to mention how fantastically you've been doing!  You know they're right, and you're looking good!  Keep up all the hard work and gym-going!! :)

Whoo hoo!
Yeah, it does feel good to see people noticing :) I'm an attention-whore, as y'all know ;)

Hi izzzzzzziieeeeeeee! *hughughug*
YAY! *does little dance*
hehe, yep, HK... I don't think a single soul noticed I was dropping weight until after 50 came off... then it was comments out the wazoo.  I have no idea what it is about that 50 pounds mark, but yep... that's how it was for me, too!!!

Feels good, eh?  CONGRATS!!!!
Hey HK - Well done!  It's so nice when other people start noticing.  For me co-workers noticed when I lost 25 lbs but my in-laws who see me way less never even noticed.  All they noticed was my hair was longer :->  Just goes to show how observant some people are.
The first time I tried to lose weight with CC last year, a hot guy in my class was the first one to notice and he actually developped a crush on me, wanting us to work out together and stuff. Too bad I'm already attached... to a lazy, skinny smoker!!! :p

Travis is a dear and I love him, but....

He notices even a 5lb weight loss on me, so that's very motivating! :)

Good job on your successes everybody!
Being told "You've lost weight!" never gets any less satisfying to me.

I've lost 75lb since January and now weigh just 185 (not been that little since high school) and the amount of people who have told me is unreal.

I do a weekly collection round where I collect money from people for a lottery scheme at my football club and most of the people on my round have commented because they've known me for like 6 years so knew me when I was huge.

All my mates have noticed as well and I've been noticing the benefits when I'm out buying clothes, I don't just automatically head for the biggest size.

The best bit though was on Sunday when I played my first soccer game of the season and beat the offside trap with a great turn of pace and scored my first goal for the club.  Kept thinking that I'd never have even got to the ball 8 months ago!

Finally, good luck to EVERYONE trying to lose weight, the benefits and feeling you get when you succeed is immense!

Now I just need a nice girl to notice and I might be in with a chance!! :D
Yay HK!  That's gotta feel good.  I've lost just a few pounds and people have asked me if I've lost weight too.  However, these are the same people who also asked me that same question when I didn't lose weight, or at times even gained weight since they last saw me :-).  So unfortunately, sometimes it loses the impact it should have, I've kinda just brushed that comment aside too many times.  I think I've become quite the master of disguise when it comes to dressing to hide my jiggly bits the past few years :-). lol  But now that I know that I've lost weight, even if it's just a few pounds, I'm starting to learn to accept that comment.  It's a very odd thing.
that's awesome, HK! keep it up!!!
:D :D :D

that's great man...you've been working hard...I'm envious of your progress.......keep it up!
I'm here to tell you that if I, a former coach potato and computer junkie can do it, ANYONE can do it! Anyone!

All you need is the time and the motivation!
You make being a coach potato and computer junkie sound bad.

;)
I suppose being a coach potato is better than being a baked potato ;)

I eat baked potatos for dinner! ;)
No, really, I do!
