When did people notice your weight loss?



Recommended Posts

I'm glad I'm reading your answers so I know what to expect. When I was losing weight a few years ago, people noticed at the -25 pound stage, but the compliments and remarks from haters were constant around the -40 to -50 pound loss.

When I came back to work from my 2 weeks off from surgery , my coworkers were telling me how good I looked and I was down 30 at that time. I love my job and it's people. They are so supportive. ♡♡

I am going on a cruise 7 weeks after my surgery. can anyone tell me what to expect at 7 weeks out.

You might get better answers if you create a separate thread instead of hijacking this one.
Wow that was kinda rude. Depending on your doctors instructions At 7 Weeks you will be eating a large variety of foods. You won't be on fresh veggies probably. But on a cruise you should have no problem at all getting your Protein. Lots to choose from on the smorgasbords! Make sure and take your supplements with you and even pack some pre-mixed Protein shakes. I love cruises! You will have so much fun.

And don't worry about posting in the wrong thread. For some reason there are people that get weirdly territorial and snappy but for the most part, lots of people are happy to help!!

thank you. I was new and had no idea there were rules..

I'm down 40 and no one other than my wife has noticed. I'm still wearing the same clothes and I think that has a lot to do with it.

I'm now at the weight (242) I was when I went from XL to XXL. Once I get to 235 or so, I'm going to Target and spending $100 on some XL stuff. Then people will notice.

My goal is 190, so I'm hoping to be donating all my XXL and XL clothes to Goodwill in the spring.

No one said anything to me until I lost about 50 lbs and to be honest when I look in the mirror I don't see the weight loss at all but when I post a side by side pic I see it. It is definitely mental

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
