Bummer

It's kind of a bummer. I wanna share my weight loss with my friends on Facebook but I won't because I know of the backlash I'd get from some. I feel so positive and happy about it and only a choice few I get to share it with. Glad I have here to do my sharing.  

How much have you lost and did you have surgery or diet? Congrats on your loss. 

Thank you! I have lost 39 now. 9 with my pre op diet and 30 since VSG surgery on 1/15/16 (just about 9 weeks ago). 

Congratulations!!

you can crow about your success here.  we get it and think that it is great.  

you can always wait till others start commenting on your loss - but it takes a long time before others  say something - maybe 50 to 75 pounds. 

Come here and share. I did not post on Facebook till I was about a year out. 

Post your NSVs here. Come here for support come here to give encouragement. This is a great website that really does help. 

I know I can post here and I love this site for all the wonderful support. But I guess I was hoping to share with people I know and not strangers. People have known me my whole life as fat and I just wanna show off a little (not in a mean way lol). But of course, I love to chat with all the people I have been meeting here on this site :)

I totally understand! I have the same problem. I think a lot of is that our weight loss makes those around us feel guilty about how they eat. Not that I blame them, back when I was eating unhealthy and depressed about my weight, I resented those around me that ate healthy, exercised, etc. You can always share your good news here! :) Congratulations!

Oh and if you want to share with your facebook friends, just post photos of yourself :) You do not have to say anything about the weight loss, they will see it for themselves :) 

That is why this site is so valuable.  Here, you have the ability to interact with others going through the same thing and they celebrate your achievements with you. On FB, not all your friends are supportive or judge you for choosing "the easy way out".     

Congrats on your awesome achievements, so far!   I know you'll have many more coming your way!!!

You aren't alone with this. I am in exactly the same position. So it is very nice to be able to come here where people always offer support and congratulations. Sounds as if you are doing really well and my congratulations to you.
