    Is your loss noticeable yet???

    Any ccers feel the same way I do?? I have lost 50 pounds and I don't think anyone has noticed! Maybe it is because I still have 102 to lose? I used to not be able to comfortably fit in a booth without feeling like I was cutting my airwave off by all the squished flesh up against the table. Now I have a nice gap between me and that table. How can people not see this??

    Ah well, I am doing it for me anyway but it would be nice if someone noticed!

    I doubt that noone's noticed... they may just feel awkward saying something. Like the one time I dyed my hair an obviously different color... one person at work commented on it, and all the others just kind of stared for a moment when they first saw it... haha

    I also generally don't comment on changes in people unless it's someone I'm fairly close to. I'm sure you'll get comments soon though, 50lbs is a lot!!

      One thing I noticed is that they notice more when you wear something brand new. If you are still wearing baggy things that hide your losses, they may be hesitant to say something. And people who see you every day don't notice. When someone you haven't seen for s few months runs into you, then you will get some comments.

       It's not about the results. Its about the process.

        When people are around you everyday it's less noticable to them than people you haven't seen in 3 or 6 months. I had to show my dh & mother side by side photos for them to "see" the difference since I started. Don't get discouraged....one of these days their eyes will be open!

            I can't see a difference when I look in the mirror yet. But I have only lost 26 lbs. But I do have people at work who say they can see a difference in my face and that I need to get smaller pants, lol. My pants are falling off me

              Well, someone told me my butt looked smaller yesterday and I've only lost 8 lbs. It might have had something to do with the new pants that fit better thought....

                  I spent a lifetime losing and gaining weight, so when I began to lose with Atkins, no one except for my husband and two very close friends, mentioned it for fear I'd fail again.

                  My advice is do this for yourself, first. Believe me, the compliments will come!!!

                  When you are alone in your head, you are in a bad neighborhood.

                    You are all right! I actually was hoping, for quite sometime, that no one would notice because I am embarassed I gained so much weight back. So now I am getting my wish and still not happy lol - I am actually fine with it!

                        I lost almost 70 lbs and my DH, my coleagues at work don't notice a thing... Yet, the difference is VERY obvious. At least I think. But it's true that I've been wearing the same old baggy stuff...
