Someone finally noticed!!

Hi Debs_place, Well done to you for doing what you want to do and that is to lose some weight but please don't overdo it though, if I see someone and notice they have lost weight I would compliment them only if I know its healthy lost of weight and they are happy with it, I salute you girl. Tamara

If I know someone is trying to lose weight, if they told me...Then I will definitely comment on their weight loss when I notice it. For sure. But if they have lost weight, and I am not sure what they would think of me commenting on their weight, then I just tell them they are really looking good.

Oh that is wonderful, that must have made you feel fantastic, the hard work paying off for you, I must be honest and say I don't usually notice weight loss on people until an extreme loss, but congratulations to you and i hope you keep going with it...

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I know it has been a LOT of HARD work!!! I once worked with a girl who lost 50 pounds & I never noticed. Her desk was directly across from mine. She was insulted that I hadn't noticed. Once she pointed it out to me, I was embarrassed!!! The only thing I could think of was seeing her every day I had seen her gradually get smaller. In this case, she was wearing the same clothes she had worn before & they weren't hanging off her. I usually only saw her from the chest up so I wasn't looking at her body all day. I most definitely would have said something to her had I noticed. To this day I don't understand why I didn't notice it. On noticing, I'd say You look like you're losing weight. I assume you've been working hard on this. You're looking good. Keep up the good work!!! If I'm concerned the weight loss is from heath reasons I'd probably say I've noticed you're losing weight. Is everything OK??? Are you losing on purpose???

Hi Debs, I will be the last person to notice physical looks. However, I am very quick to discern a change in the tone in a conversation. Even a "hello" can tell me if the speaker is happy or sad. I guess I dont really place a lot of attention on looks, but on the mood of my friends. I didn't even notice anyone changing the hairstyle!

Congrats! I am still trying to lose baby weight weight from my last pregnancy. I had to quit jenny craig b/c it was too expensive.

If I see people making changes, I comment on them. I think I am more attentive than most people are I would love to lose thirty pounds, and that other fifty myself. I think I would be very happy with the first thirty, though. Losing just ten percent of your weight can result in really major health improvements. I need to give myself this pep talk and get on with it. I have a ton of clothes that I would love to be able to wear that I cannot so that should be good motivation.

I was never on weigh watch in my life, but I always notice if someone lost weight and I always comment what I see.... Results are visible if you lost 30 pounds...it is a lot...congratulations! I am sure that your husband is happy with his weigh lost as well...

Hi Debs_place! First of all I wanted to congratulate you for your effort to lose weight. I know that it is very easy to gain weight but to lose, that's take a lot of effort and determination, and may I include resistance too. I found it mind boggling that people around you have not noticed the big difference in your weight. I mean, losing 30 lbs. is so noticeable in a person's body. I don't know if they have kept their silence or they are afraid to ask that it could bring negative emotion on your side. Anyway, just kept on doing what you know will be best for you. Looking forward of your achievement in losing weights and gaining the body and confidence you wanted to have. Have a nice day!

It is such a wonderful feeling when someone notices a weight loss, it seems to make it all worthwhile somehow! That is a pretty big weight loss so I am surprised that it has not been noticed sooner and am glad that someone finally complimented you on it! I always always comment on someone losing weight because it makes them feel good and encourages them to keep it up and I am glad you are feeling good about yourself keep it up!!!

Hi, good work Debs. I am proud of people who really have the strong motivation to reach their target. im sure you can lose that 50 lbs if you really want. But i hope you also enjoy the changes, some people will really noticed you and make positive comments, and be happy on that. If some people comment negative , maybe think of it and smile, tell yourself - your really doing good. I get negative comments even i already lose weight, and im always telling myself this is for me and not for anybody. I just came to know that people who say negative are jealous because they cant even lose 1 pound, hehe. happy mylotting and smile always!

Well, normally I won't comment on other people's weight. Nonetheless, people has their self - esteem. I don't want to hurt their feeling if my comment is bad. If someone change for good, I definitely make a positive comments to let him/her know that he/she making a progress, good job! blah blah..... At least, that is a nice thing to do.

That´s fabulous, when you are trying some thing really hard, and your efforts are visible to the rest of people, it´s terrific. The good thing is that when you lost pounds, not only you get rid of those pounds but also of bad cholesterol, and you feel more light, you have more energy, and you are capable of doing some things you couldn´t do it before that. I´m glad to hear.

Thats awesome!! Congrats =)

Congrats on your weight loss, thats great. When I notice that someone has lost weight, I will compliment them on how good they look. I am very careful when doing it, I don't want to hurt someones feelings, like for health issues things like that. Making a comment about someones weight can sometimes be tricky. I think people have a tendency to play it safe and not say anything. Good for both of you, a big pat on the back.

Congratulations! Keep up the good work. As far as commenting unless I know before hand they are trying to lose weight I usually will not look close enought to notice.... I reached a milestone this week too. I walked 6 and half miles to the railroad tracks and 6 and half miles home.. So I did 13 miles in one day in 4 hours. I am sure I was able to push myself better than usual do to a adrenaline rush from getting into a fight with my mother she wants to sell my grandpas old house, and I want that house... she has never helped me get a job and drivers licence all promised the only help I asked was for transporation I would have paid the gas money, and to bad I wanted to surprise her by paying a certain percentage of my total earnings... But oh well. Her loss. I did my 13 miles in one day within 4 hours, and I am happy I did so as two weeks ago I could not even walk to the mailbox without pain... As I have a bad ankle so I am not sure if I lost weight but I can tell it helped strenghten my leg and ankle so that I can almost walk like normal. I am happy about that. - DNatureofDTrain

Congratulations Deb! I love weight watchers, they are the greatest plan for losing weight & you get plenty to eat, its so healthy.I almost stay on their plan..I am not fat but i gained a few pounds a couple of years ago, so i tried weight watchers & lost that and felt so great that now i am so into that way of eating that i just stay on it...I have already gotten the food & points down to where i know them by heart, so i stay at my size 10 Jeans always....Sometimes others are jealous ya know!........

pressure to increase their own.To point to their own to encourage.control of our mouth.

Sometimes i comment, but usually i don't bother.
