Take heart, Laura, u hv lost 30+ lbs❣ Press forward...for u & ur health, to live a great life🤙🏽 

great progress!!!! keep it up!  

Thank you.  

I think sometimes people are wary of mentioning the loss of weight.... likely for many different reasons... 1 - they are nervous about mentioning something that could be construed as "politically incorrect" 2 - they don't want to sound like your weight was ever an issue for them 3 - maybe they notice something is different, but aren't sure exactly what. (I have had many compliments over the last 6 months....... hair looks great, you never age, your eyes are so intense, your brows are really on point today, your skin is beautiful.....) Mostly, I think people just don't really know WHAT to say! Take heart - it is noticed!!!! 

your doing a great job keep it up 🤗 you got this! 

39 pounds?? That’s amazing! I’ve only lost 13! Wish it was 39! Think my glipizide makes me gain weight! But I like my high fat foods like avocados and nuts lol 🙄 

Excellent accomplishment! 

That's OK. Once it's noticeable, it will happen all at once and everyone will notice. Just keep pushing! 

Have you got any new clothes yet? Sometimes people will look more carefully if we put on something a little newer and formfitting 

That is great! It’s sometimes hard for those who see you everyday to notice a change. Congratulations and stay positive! You Rock!🎉🌺 

39 lbs is quite a bit! Be proud and keep going! You are doing great!!👍👍 

Yes, it would be nice, but what really matters, is that you are there for yourself. You be your own cheerleader and be loudest you can be. We're here also to cheer you on. ❤🥳👍 

I understand, I have lost 55 pounds since February this year, I have about another 60 to go. Everyone has all the sudden noticed I have lost weight, literally in the past week or so….it’s crazy. People I see all the time comment on how thin I have gotten, but I have been losing about 5 pounds a month and for some reason now they have all noticed. Don’t get discouraged, just keep pushing through. You have lost a lot of weight and you know it, be proud of yourself!!!! It’s hard when you know you have lost but others don’t see it or comment, believe me I know. Great job!!!!!! 👍💪 

You go girl 💫💪 

Terrific! Keep it up! Never mind if it doesn’t get noticed by people you see daily. You give yourself a pat on the back!  

Your weight loss is amazing! Good for you! I bet you feel so much better! I'm looking forward to when I am no in pain and discomfort from all this weight anymore. Be proud of yourself and know that you supported out here in FS land!! 

I have lost 49 pounds and no one has noticed but that is ok . I am doing it for me . Just keep going and think how much better You feel and how you are going to feel when you hit your goal 

I agree with 3dkids2. People may truly nit notice because most people are too wrapped up in themselves. Others may even be jealous or it makes them feel insecure because they should be making better choices too. It can be a awkward compliment to give - even when 100% sincere of WOW, YOU LOOK GREAT!! (Does that imply I used to look bad/not great?) I managed a gym for 6 years so I understand what you're saying!! We're all at different stages in our journey, but as long as we're still striving towards health then we're doing great 👍 You're doing GREAT!! Hope you have a really good day 😃  

BuhBang 💯 

sometimes you have to pat your own self on the back congratulations!!!
