When did people start noticing your weight loss?

I have lost about 10% of my body weight, and about 20% of my excess weight (least by my calculations) but no one has noticed or said ANYthing about it. My clothes are all a bit looser and the people that know about the surgery (my family) say my face is definitely smaller. I don't really see it. It's not that I WANT people to talk about my weight but people saying something is the best way for me to gauge if I visibly look different. I think my body image is a bit askew lol. Anyway, how much before you guys started getting comments???

People are just starting to comment now, about the 40lb point! I have dropped from a size 20 to 14 and they're just noticing it now!?!? sheesh!

I've lost 33 lbs so far, and no one has said anything except my DH. I'm thinking another 20 lbs and I'll be below 200 and people will start to notice. I really don't care, because "I" notices the difference for sure!

Every one began to ask me Are you loseing weight?????

No!!!!, you don't think so do ya??? Yeagh!, maybe. It kinda looks that way to me.

75Lbs lighter. Wow what did you do!!!!!!! can I do it to?

people with this weight loss thing blow me away they really do.

They want to no how.

They are pissed at me, and no longer talk to me, cause they are still heavy.

Of course some people are delighted.

I saw my surgeon yesterday, and they are asking me to possibley become a spokes person for them, and the Lap Band, at there meetings I guess.

They have been kicking this around, and this is the first i hear of it. I'm sure they will kick it around untill more weight comes off. Shirley..:decision:

YES!!! They are wierd arent they!!

When I was in high school I lost 19 pounds and nobody but my librarian said a damn thing. I was so disappointed. I was starting from 204 then on a 5'7" frame.
