    Shrinking ( I think )

    Can y'all tell a difference? NO ONE is saying a word to me at work about any changes that they see. One client did but that is it. I deal with at least 100 people a day, some several times a week (I work at a very busy vet). My family isn't even saying anything. I have dropped one size in my jeans. I think I am going to take a pic this weekend of me in the green shirt and those exact jeans and see how it looks.



    Me at heaviest, 235, size 20 jeans. 3/11/09



    3/23/09 . 6 days into Atkins



    215 lbs



    211 lbs size 18 on Saturday, 5/2/09

    Definite difference! Well done and keep up the sterling work.
    Don't worry... it was the same for me... it took forever before anyone said anything about my weight loss and then suddenly everyone was noticing!

      The folks who see you every day will need several dress sizes before they really pick up on it, since it is gradual. Once you have lost a couple of sizes, look for the folks who haven't seen you for a few weeks, those are the ones who will pick up on it. From the pics, I see less 'bulk' through the shoulders and middle, you are doing very nicely! (Folks are too busy noticing your pretty face to worry over your pounds anyway!)

        Even with the baggy clothes in the last pic you can see that your frame is different. The shirt is hanging off slimmer shoulders

              I can tell. The people you don't see often will be the ones with the OMG.
              Don't think cuz the people you see all the time don't notice that your not lookin slimmer!

                You can really tell from the pics you posted that youve lost weight definately from the face and legs you look great keep it up.Trust me I used to take kids to school no one ever said to me wow youve lost weight after having the baby but now that ive lost over 90lb Im always getting comments like wow youve lost weight how did u do it?People take their time I waited ages and yes when they do comment it keeps you going because you know your getting results and its the main thing we look 4wd to other people noticing and when they do it makes it all worth it!Dont go by waiting 4 others to comment go by the scales your best friend at that moment!

                  Yeah people won't really notice it until you lose a lot. I know at my current job people didn't notice I had lost weight until I had gotten to 155 (from 176). So since you a little heavier it might take some more weight loss before people see anything. I know with my husband people didn't notice until he lost about 50 lbs.

                    Don't care if people don't say anything, just look at your pictures! There's a drastic difference between 1st and last photos

                    Your own eyes (and your clothes) will give you the best clues you need... and the scale too!

                    Looking great!

                            I can definitley notice! WOW you look great. I would have to say that most people wait until you've lost 30+lbs, and then wonder what "magic pill" you took, not realising or understanding, how long and hard your sacrifices have taken! WTG-you do look great!

                              I can definitely tell a difference. When people see you everyday, it is harder for them to see the progress you are making, but keep it up! You are looking great!
