Of course my partner notices my weight loss. But yesterday...someone else noticed! Someone who had no idea I was dieting or seeing a nutritionist!

A co-worker said "Have you lost weight? I noticed last week but didn't say anything and this week I can definitely tell you have lost weight!"

I was like wow! Thank you and yes I have lost weight, I have been seeing a nutritionist and have been on a serious diet since the 1st of the year.

Wow, it really is showing that I'm working to lose weight!

I can only imagine how it will show after surgery in 2 weeks!

That's great! I think sometimes folks are hesitant to ask if you've lost weight because they don't want to come across as rude. I don't mind if people notice I've lost weight - it's pretty obvious I'm an obese lady so weight loss will definitely be noticeable :) It's only when people say things like "OMG, you're sooooooooo pretty now!" Then I lift an eyebrow and wonder "Sheesh, did you think I was super ugly before or something?"

ETA: Several extended family members of mine kept saying how pretty I was after I lost weight as a teenager and it bothered me. I made my parents swear up and down that they wouldn't tell my extended family about my surgery as a result. I'm going to have to prepare myself for the holidays this year...

I had to lose close to 50 lbs before anyone noticed besides those that knew I had the surgery. But I am a lot larger than you.

That's awesome people are noticing already! So motivating!

People always saw me in so many states of weight loss before, it took me losing about 60 pounds before people really started to say something!

I have never gotten that! I don't get any comments on my looks, but I know that is a common one for overweight people. Sometimes I think, "do I not have a pretty face?" LOL!

Well, those comments were usually family so not sure they count for anything! Lol

The face is the first to be noticed.

That's awesome news - it's always nice when you can get some acknowledgement of your efforts! If people are noticing already, just wait till a month from now, and a month after that!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
