Re: How much???
That's going to be different for everyone!
And it depends on how often people see you.
And it depends on how willing people are to say something.J.

Re: How much???
no no no...I'm not asking in that sense...I'm more or less taking a poll...just wondering what other people's experiences are. I am not basing other's answers on my own experience....lol..
Sorry that I didn't make the question clear enough...."My goals minus my fears equal my reality"

Re: How much???
It was only about 10 pounds for me, but probably because I had been drinking a lot of beer before I started and once I gave that up my beer belly started shrinking almost immediately, lol.1st Goal ~ 199 Onderland -Met 3/29/10
2nd Goal ~ 174 No longer obese
3rd Goal ~ 150 In the home stretch
Final Goal ~ 145 or below (I'll know when I get there) No longer overweight
(Next pic at 187)
Current Mini Goals:
1) 35 pounds lost
2) 40 pounds lost to move to Rung 5
3) 45 pounds lost to update 15 pound loss picture seriesComment

Re: How much???
my immediate family noticed at about 15 pounds, but nobody in the real world noticed well let me know they noticed until I lost 90 pounds!
I have to qualify that cause when the lady told me I'd lost weight I thanked her and said out loud she was the first person to notice. Immediately several folk at the church dinner said "thats not true I noticed but didn't say anything cause i didn't know if you were sick or doing it on purpose." Followed by a lot of me toos.by the book atkinseer

Ten lbs. My cheekbones hollowed, while my stomach deflated. Also, my posture got 50x better because I became confident.

Re: How much???
40 pounds. No one said anything to me. I think they were afraid or something. Anyhow, I got the compliment from my office building's maintenance man. One morning when I was walking in the building he said, "I just got to tell you. You look great! You've lost alot of weight! Whatever you're doing, keep doing it! Shoot....everyone else in this building is getting fat, but you're getting skinny. So keep it up!"~Megs~

Re: How much???
I am down 27 pounds... my DH notices though in the way I am in Bed (sorry TMI) but I notice that too... I can say I am more flexible. AT work no one has actually approached but I notice them stare, they may be just too scared to ask. One lady did notice on Friday and I told her what I was doing and she said she is going to get the book.
PS: Mirna, you look great.

Re: How much???
It was only people who knew I was trying to lose weight who commented at all!!
After I had lost about 100 pounds one of our neighbours plucked up the courage to ask my husband if I was all right as he and his wife had noticed me shrinking and wondered if I had a wasting disease
It must have been a general consideration as the week after that happened a dozen or so people stopped me and congratulated me on my weightloss!
I suppose also it is a bit like people being afraid to tell you that you are looking good in case your response might be to get offended and say 'Why, did I look bad before I changed my hair/dress/lost weight?'Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!
