Well, I couldn't have done TOO much damage with my brownie the other night, because I still lost 1 pound. That's okay. I don't have to shed the weight that rapidly.

I'm sort of discouraged. People that are close to me obviously know that I'm on this diet, and a few people know just how much weight I've lost. But the only person who said that she could tell was my mom. I know it is obvious, my clothes fit differently, my gut does not stick out, I actually look normal.

I'm on the diet with my friend, and she's lost weight, not as much as I have (she doesn't have as much to lose) and when we're out together, people will say how good she looks. I'm not sure why they don't say that to me.

I'm sort of feeling like a whiner, which I don't want. But I'd like some positive reinforcement from those around me too, dang it.

LOOKING AT YOUR WEIGHT CHART I THINK THAT YOU HAVE SO MUCH TO BE PROUD OF. THE WAY YOUR FRIEND DRESSES MIGHT MAKE THE DIFFERENCE TOO. IF THEY ARE BAGGY CLOTHES OR WHATEVER. PLUS SOME PEOPLE LOSE IN THE FACE AND THEIR FACE MAY GIVE AWAY THEIR WEIGHT LOSS. DONT LET THIS BRING YOU DOWN BECAUSE YOU HAVE MADE BIG CHANGES AND SUCH BIG STEPS. YOU SHOULD BE SO PROUD! KEEP YOUR CHIN UP AND KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.

I'm sure you look great. Don't get discouraged. And like lizz said, you have a lot to be proud of.

I have found (from experience)that some people get a little jealous, therefore they don't want to say anything, but they will....when they hear other people say something about it (almost like they are obligated to). The other thing is, those are the ones to "ask" you how you did it. You know that you are looking good and feeling better and getting healthy, so smile and keep up the good work!!

Oh man, you are doing so well - you've lost a lot of weight in a short time. I bet you look fantastic!! Too bad we don't all live in the same town, so we could get together once in a while and tell each other how fabulous we look!! You're great, and I'm proud of ya - keep going!!

That happened to me when I lost some weight before I got pregnant. It took awhile before anyone took notice. I figured eventually the compliments and "what are you doings?" would start pouring in and they did. I'm sure that's bound to happen to you especially with your progress. Keep it up and you'll be hearing how great you look before you know it.
