Reddi4change 27 Posted March 17, 2012 I was sleeved on 2/6...and today is 3/17...yesterday was the first day that like 6 people told me I looked smaller!! So it took a month basically for it to be noticeable although I saw the scale sliding down. I felt like I had a secret, since it wasnt super noticeable that I had lost so much weight!! AND..this is still the beggining of a new life!! 2 Lilee84 and Allie ALii reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mnbsleeve 87 Posted March 17, 2012 For me it took almost 35 pounds before I started to really get comments.... but now! Even a 1 or 2 lbs loss and people ask: "are you losing weight? you look great" LOL I guess proportionally the weight loss is greater closer to goal... which is great because the loss slows down and we need the encouragement LOL But I remember going to my hair salon, after loosing close to 70 lbs (I see this gal every three weeks mind you) and one week I come in and she asks, "are you losing weight?" I cracked up! I had lost about 2 lbs. since I saw her last but like 70 overall. I though, yeah just a little bit! Funny how she noticed those two but not the other 68! :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reddi4change 27 Posted March 17, 2012 I am seeing that I am at the point that every pound is starting to show...like before it took like 10 pounds to show..but I can see every pound now. LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carbgrl 119 Posted March 17, 2012 For me, 40 lbs has always been the magic number when I really start to get lots of compliments. 1 Reddi4change reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
