"doesn't look like you're losing any weight"

[TeganRheana 1]

You've lost 30 POUNDS!!! That's 10 pounds a month and truly a wonderful weight loss. You could always say to the rude person, "Sure I've lost weight, I look a lot better naked. You want to see?" That might make them think twice about negative commets.

HAHAHA:thumbup: I LOVE that!!!

I get the same thing from my inlaws, everytime I see them they ask how much weight I have lost even though it had only been a couple of days between visits (hence the reason I didn't want them to know in the first place because I didn't want to feel the pressure *grrrr hubby*)...it starts to wear after a while.

My wife and I are both amazed, at the things people say regarding what we have done. Between us I think we could write a pretty funny book of the idiotic things people have said to us. The worst ones are the ones that one take the hint to STFU.

It took until I was about 25 lbs down for anyone who didn't know about my surgery to notice. That was more than 10% of my body weight (I started at 230), so it sounds like that may be the magical point!

Definitely take your measurements if you haven't already. It feels great to be able to see how many inches you are losing, especially when (a) the scale is moving slowly; and ( you have a hard time seeing the change on yourself because it is so gradual. Photos are good landmarks, too!

Congrats on being 30 down!
