So I went to play in this orchestra. I hadn't been there for a year and I look REALLY different now so I thought some folks would say something but no one said a word! Finally I told a couple I lost 85 lbs and one of them said I looked good and the other said nothing. I remember like in the 1970's when you lost a lot of weight people complimented you and kind of rejoiced with you but now things seem different. I wonder if it's such a hot button issue now that people get upset when someone else loses weight like that... I'm feelin' the generation gap here (old lady as I am of 64 years old!)

I haven't been this size since around 1976!

Aww ((((((HUGS)))))) You are looking wonderful

[dixieladybug]

Oh they were all just jealous because you look so good. I have had that happen even in family. Most people have good things to say a few say nothing and some with bad eye site say I have lost enough. You know you look better and feel better and so do they..You have done so well, and without the aid of wls. So just smile at them with that I did it smile.. lol WE are so proud of you lady... keep up the good work.

that happens to me alot too, but i also have got a lot of compliments too but seems like the ones that i know should be the ones commenting but its the ones that never really know me doing the complimenting. one guy the other day is talking to me and he ask why i walk so much and i said to lose weight and ask me how much so far an i tell him an he acts like no way , im like have you ever really seen me before? i do wonder about that too after i see people that havent seen me in a while makes me want to say<< HEY, DONT YOU THINK I LOOK DIFFERENT? and i have done it before and they say yea! youve lost weight, so people do notice it,

I am not sure what the reason is BUT...most of my family has not even said a word about my weightloss. My immediate family does but aunts, uncles, cousins...say nothing. I have lost 1/2 my body weight and my friends say that can't even recognize me and have to do double takes because they are still looking for the old me yet my family says nothing...its strange!!

[Kelliebelly]

Shannon...that is crazy that your family has not said anything. I checked to see if where you were from because that's a real Minnesotan thing. LOL.....People can sure be funny sometimes.

[SarJen01]

I think it's funny that some of us are sensitive when no one says anything, that some others are sensitive when people say something! I'm one of the ones that's very happy that most people haven't said anything! We're all so different.

[PamM]

I love the compliments....or the fact that they have noticed...cuz most people sure notice and mention it when you put weight on. And yes it seems to be a Minnesota thing....guess it is hard for them to say nice things!

has it occurred to you that some of them didn't know it was you????? Some of my daughter's friends saw us in Starbucks....after we left...they were like...WHO was that??? One of the girls knew I had lost a bunch of weight...she told them..."THAT WAS LAUREN"S MOM".....half the girls didn't believe her....and none of them said anything to me because they had no clue who I was....I look VERY different!!
