Did Everyone Start Noticing on the Same Day???

I will be seven months out on Saturday...I have lost 118 lbs. Only a very few people have mentioned my weight loss along the way... I was beginning to wonder what was going on...no one was noticing...then today by lunch time four people commented at work about how much weight I had lost...Is there a magic day that you just start looking thin? I have lost an entire person and still have a small person left to lose. I guess that means when I started I was the size of three people (yuck). The comments make me feel good but I am really not good at being fussed over. Did anyone else have this happen to them? Again..thanks for all the valuable input you guys give. I don't post too often, but when I do...you guys come through for me. I promise to get a picture up soon. --Char

I can't say it happened all in the same day but I do know what you are talking about. Best thing I found was that after people started noticing "I" started noticing lol which has been nice. For the longest time I didn't see it but now its hard to have my brain not see it when everyone else is seeing the changes. I still have a long ways to go but its nice to know that I am looking "more normal" now =0) I just blush and say THANKS! Not sure I will ever get used to the fuss either but its sure nice to know that all my hard work is being "seen" lol. Enjoy it!! Felicia =0)

I have gotten comments all along the way, especially from people who haven't seen me for a while....I enjoy them and agree with Aime...we didn't get them for so long because of our weight now is the time to really enjoy them!! Holly

Char,how funny you should post this! This week is the first that people have really started noticing and commenting about MY weight loss too. I wonder if they thought it was just another one of my weight fluxuations from my many, many dieting experiences - and they waited to see if I would keep any of this off? In another department just this morning, someone came out of their office to say, "You look marvelous! What have you been doing?" It felt great!
