vegasneon 181 Posted October 17, 2013 I don't really usually like attention from people but I have felt kind of sad about nobody commenting on my weightloss. Tonight a lady I don't see often said to me "you've lost weight" and I said "a little" and she looked me up and down and said "no, not just a little, you look great". Boy did it make my day! I was in the early part of my last breaktime walk and I added 4 or 5 flights of stairs, up & down, in the middle. Plus I was wearing a clingy sweater that I thought made me look fat AND a coat! My husband and my best friend tell me all the time but no one else ever mentions it, until tonight. I've lost 2 sizes and over 50 lbs so it should be at least a little noticeable. 12 RJ'S/beginning, Laure, gamergirl and 9 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aliekat55 157 Posted October 17, 2013 I think people understand that weight is a sensitive issue and they are hessitant to mention it unless it is overwhelmingly obvious. People did not mention it until i had lost well over 50 pounds but all of the sudden (around 70 pounds) it is so obvious that everyone mentions it. good job Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vegasneon 181 Posted October 18, 2013 Thank you both. I've been stalled for a month so someone noticing came at a good time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aliekat55 157 Posted October 18, 2013 Yesterday i went in to see a patient who had not been in the office for a few years. His face said it all-- who the hell are you? when i told him i was still me he hessitantly asked, are you sure? he was looking hard trying to see any semblance of the doc he had seen before. pretty cool 1 gamergirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ItsMe2033 143 Posted October 18, 2013 .... My husband and my best friend tell me all the time but no one else ever mentions it, until tonight. I've lost 2 sizes and over 50 lbs so it should be at least a little noticeable. I think it takes about 50 pounds for most people to start noticing or commenting.

da1stladie 63 Posted October 23, 2013 Great job on your weight loss! People sometimes notice and just dont know what to say. Stay focused you can do this. :-) 1 vegasneon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
