A colleague said I was looking skinny! (A bit of an exageration, but I'll take it.)
Yay! It's working! This is the first official 'noticing' since I began this almost 2 months ago.
YAY!
That's awesome! It feels good to be recognized for your efforts! Keep it up!
I've almost reached the two month point, and I hear that's about when everyone starts to notice. I can't WAIT!
Good job!
Congratulations! Those bits of feedback can be so motivational. Keep up the good work.
That's so great! Congrats!
Whenever I get discouraged I try and think of all the positive comments I have gotten since I started to lose weight. It's a great motivator!
That's so great! The same thing happened to me recently and even though I have a way to go - it felt good!!
Love that! congrats and keep up the great work!
my barber is the one that noticed after 9 weeks, so the people that didnt noticei told them the barber did 
That is super! I'm very happy for you and glad that you posted this note. Now I will have something else to look forward to. I am on day 6, so I have a ways to go, but your comment definitely gives me a goal to shoot for and place in my journal when someone notices my losses. Thanks for sharing 
Haha, that's great! I know what you mean about the exaggeration - there's a woman at work who keeps saying to me "you're wasting away!" I'm thinking "I'm still technically obese, but thanks!"
Go for it!
Yesterday a man I know approached me and asked me, "I've been meaning to ask you - you're not sick or anything, are you?" I was happy to tell him, and he was happy to hear, that no, the 66 pounds I've lost were all intentional.
Thats GREAT !!!! keep up the good work
What's really fun is seeing people who haven't seen you in a year. Apparently, "you look *amazing*" is tactful code for "where'd that 40 pounds go?" Works for me!
flybee this is dac 250 congratulations on your success it makes you feel good outside and inside when you can see that you have accomplished something and some one else gives you that lift that lets you know you ARE losing. It doesn't matter how they said it the fact is that they noticed. dac 250
Congrats! I know the feeling...sometimes you feel and see the difference in yourself, but the real validation is when someone else notices. I've only lost a couple pounds, but my mom asked me yesterday if I'd lost weight. It was just what I needed to keep the motivation!
&nb sp; &nb sp; Yea I know what you mean it does give you a good feelling inside. It took longer for me before anyone said anything and i could tell but when no one else said anything it made me think maybe i was't. So I went and bought the most expensive scales I could find, because I would wiegh at home and than if I had to go to the doctor thier scale wieghted me about 5 lbs heavier and that was discouraging'but now I know exactly what I weigh due to the fact that it weighs my body fat also. I have lost (not bragging) just don't want people to think that of me cause it has taken along time to do what I have done and alot of turning down foods i wanted as well as all the excecising, saying all that. I have lost down from 216 to 181 I have dropped 2 pant and dress sizes gone from a size 20 to a size 18 and these slacks are alittle loose. Evey pound we loose is that much gone. It took me 4 months to loose all this so have patience with your self and should you slip up and gaina lb. back donnot let that discourage you because I have done that.dac 250
&nb sp; &nb sp; It doesn't matter how they say it, it is that they noticed right!!! And that a good thing that you lost those 40 lbs, you deserve congratts. It takes alot of will power to do that. Dac 250
Isn't that a wonderful feeling? The people you see daily won't notice for months and months, if ever...LOL! When you see someone you haven't seen for awhile, they say something. I have lost 67 pounds and I saw family and friends for Memorial Day; some of whom I hadn't seen since Christmas; and I got many "HOLY COW! You look great!" comments. Best Memorial Day ever!!!!
Keep up the great work!
Other people's success is a huge motivation, thank you for sharing and congratulations :) keep it up!
&nb sp; &nb sp; &nb sp; Hey nedlptr: Yes it is a very wonderful feeling to be noticed after all the time and energy you have put into yourself to obtain your goal and losing 67 lbs is really great. I could be wrong but the people that the closest to me don't say alot, but like you said you go somewhere where people really have't seen you in a long time they can tell the difference and that is a good thing I started on my program weighing 216 now down to 181 I have 40 more pounds I would like to loose but me being so big before took a while for even myself to notice I was losing. Good Luck and keep up the great work you are doing for yourself. dac 25o
