I have been going to weight watchers since February and have lost about 30 pounds. My jeans can now be taken off without unzipping or unbuttoning them. blush

Yet until today no one said a single word to me about having lost this weight, It has been very difficult since I am not very good at resisting temptation but I have worked really hard at it.

And now someone finally said somethinghappy.

If you see someone losing weight do you comment on it? What do you say? What if they have a lot more to go...I still want to lose about 50 more pounds so it is not like I am skinny (yet!) . would you say nothing if you thought it was a healthy related problem or would you express concern?

Yes..Hubby is thrilled, of course he has been going too and has lost almost 45 pounds, so he has commented. I just feel it is nice to hear from someone who is not aware of the effort but notices the change.

I definitely let people know when I notice. I feel they want to know they are making progress. We need all the positive reinforcement we can get. Way to go Debs! I'll be so glad when I lose all this weight I gained. Having lost 140 and then regaining half of it was very upsetting to me. I am so glad now that I have the help from WW to assist me. The books, and the meetings are priceless. It's so good to be with other people who are in the same boat I am.

It's hard work to get it off and keep it off. You should be applauded for your accomplishment. My hat is off to you and your hubby Debs. Keep up the great work. I will too. happy

Thanks. How did you do this week? I didn't see anything from you?


myLot reputation of 94/100. OreoCookie3 (18943)   ranked 574 out of 38,615 in life  7 months ago

I did okay.. just a pound though. Hope next week I have a bigger loss. I had 2 good weeks, and now this small one. Hope to have a bigger one next week.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Debs_place (6759)   ranked 159 out of 38,615 in life  7 months ago

pound is great. You were doing really good and I know it is a great motivator but weight loss does slow down after the first few weeks. the program is designed to lose between 1/2 and 2 pounds a week. I hope to lose about a pound a week for the next year.

Have you tried adding in another 10 minutes of exercise a day?

Oh that is wonderful, that must have made you feel fantastic, the hard work paying off for you, I must be honest and say I don't usually notice weight loss on people until an extreme loss, but congratulations to you and i hope you keep going with it...


myLot reputation of 96/100. Debs_place (6759)   ranked 159 out of 38,615 in life  7 months ago

Thanks, I am glad that you said you don't notice it. It makes me feel like the people just don't pay attention not they don't care.


myLot reputation of 97/100. GardenGerty (20654)   ranked 62 out of 38,615 in life  7 months ago

I think people see us through a type of filter. They see you as they know you now, and as they remember you then, and because of your smiles and frowns. In other words they see the whole picture, not just your body fat composition. You are not defined by your weight. That is a good thing. I know, though, that the occasional compliment can go a really long way.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I know it has been a LOT of HARD work!!! I once worked with a girl who lost 50 pounds & I never noticed. Her desk was directly across from mine. She was insulted that I hadn't noticed. Once she pointed it out to me, I was embarrassed!!! The only thing I could think of was seeing her every day I had seen her gradually get smaller. In this case, she was wearing the same clothes she had worn before & they weren't hanging off her. I usually only saw her from the chest up so I wasn't looking at her body all day. I most definitely would have said something to her had I noticed. To this day I don't understand why I didn't notice it. On noticing, I'd say You look like you're losing weight. I assume you've been working hard on this. You're looking good. Keep up the good work!!! If I'm concerned the weight loss is from heath reasons I'd probably say I've noticed you're losing weight. Is everything OK??? Are you losing on purpose???


myLot reputation of 96/100. Debs_place (6759)   ranked 159 out of 38,615 in life  7 months ago

That is a great way to handle it if you think it is for health reasons. SHe lost 50 pounds and her clothes did not hang...wow, they must have been tight in the first place or a stretchy fabric.

BTW Thanks, it has been hard but having my husband with me doing it has really helped.


myLot reputation of 94/100. LadyMarissa (2765)   ranked 432 out of 38,615 in life  7 months ago

This girl was very large. 50 pounds for her was like 10 pounds for me. But that was still NO excuse!!! She also wore her blouses to the outside of her skirts so I couldn't see any change there. She also wore her clothes baggy so a little more baggy wasn't easy to see. I'm not making excuses for me, but I don't think that it was all my fault. She was the ONLY one I ever had that problem with.

If I know someone is trying to lose weight, if they told me...Then I will definitely comment on their weight loss when I notice it. For sure. But if they have lost weight, and I am not sure what they would think of me commenting on their weight, then I just tell them they are really looking good.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Debs_place (6759)   ranked 159 out of 38,615 in life  7 months ago

I did not want to tell people I was trying to lose, it just seems to make it harder. I work with several large people and I get the feeling they would make it more difficult. I think it is nice to tell them they are looking good though. Some one told me yesterday that I looked better in short hair...it has been this length for several years- I assume that it meant the style looked better.


myLot reputation of 96/100. AmbiePam (15488)   ranked 487 out of 38,615 in life  7 months ago

I would hate to embarrass people, so I make some kind of comment when I notice. I know how good I feel when I've lost weight and someone tells me I look nice.

If I see people making changes, I comment on them. I think I am more attentive than most people are I would love to lose thirty pounds, and that other fifty myself. I think I would be very happy with the first thirty, though. Losing just ten percent of your weight can result in really major health improvements. I need to give myself this pep talk and get on with it. I have a ton of clothes that I would love to be able to wear that I cannot so that should be good motivation.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Debs_place (6759)   ranked 159 out of 38,615 in life  7 months ago

Well GG, that is right where I am with about 50 more to go, I wish I did have some smaller clothes to wear. I am going baggy this summer and will get new stuff for the fall. I know I will not be wehre Iwant to be then so I will go with a minimum.

BTW -- I have been doing Weight watchers and it is going great.


myLot reputation of 97/100. GardenGerty (20654)   ranked 62 out of 38,615 in life  7 months ago

I eat pretty well, but I am way too sedentary, and I know it. I spend a lot of my free time at the computer. I need to spend it on my house or in the garden.

Congrats! I am still trying to lose baby weight weight from my last pregnancy. I had to quit jenny craig b/c it was too expensive.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Debs_place (6759)   ranked 159 out of 38,615 in life  7 months ago

Definitely, a friend of mine did it for one month, she said it was around 400 and she lost 6 pounds, which is about the same amount I am losing per month at Weight Watchers for way less money.

Hi Debs_place,

Well, normally I won't comment on other people's weight. Nonetheless, people has their self - esteem. I don't want to hurt their feeling if my comment is bad. If someone change for good, I definitely make a positive comments to let him/her know that he/she making a progress, good job! blah blah..... At least, that is a nice thing to do.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Debs_place (6759)   ranked 159 out of 38,615 in life  7 months ago

Yes, I always try to comment when someone's hair looks nice or they look good in an outfit. I think it does help to brighten their day.
