@Annurca, victory at last

It is the reward we need, isn't it? I lost 7,5 kg since the beginning of June (BMI went down from 27,4 to 24,7) and until now no one has said something. Not even my mom.

It is great and took 25lbs to drop off me before it happened. Somehow made it all worthwhile though :0)

Amazing result! Well done... Just smiling about CandiceMarie comment about her pointier knee caps haha. I'm starting to feel bones again seems strange but good.

I agree, some people prob like to be sure that you are loosing weight, instead of, 'this person looks different but I don't know why'! before commentating.

I have one colleague who noticed very early on with my face (she knew I was doing 5/2), now the clothes are literally hanging off me (lost 27.2 lbs since mid Jun). I think if I started to wear clothes that fit the loss, more would notice

I am still wearing the same clothes as when I was at my biggest, so I do look a bit of a mess ! Just don't want to buy whilst in transition, except my trousers will be round my knees when walking

You have a good point about the clothes Minigill. Like you, I'm still in the same clothes, but instead of them being too tight, most are a bit loose...

A different, slimmer-fitting wardrobe might have drawn attention earlier!

So true about the clothing, as mine got far to baggy I got out my old singer sewing machine and altered just a few items and I did find that while you're wearing the same clothes people see what they maybe saw before. For me I have 2 good examples, 1st one when having lunch out with 2 friends I wore a top that I had altered slightly Nothing !!!2nd example out with the out-laws WOR a top they'd seen
before and Nothing !!! Both occasions I had lost 33 lbs.
Got my new wardrobe of interim clothing shortly after both incidents
then all of a sudden questions on my weightloss Sue.

Hurrah! OH arrived home and the first thing he said to me was "you look thinner in the face". First person to notice and say something. At last!

Rawkaren, that's great, I can definitely understand how exciting it is!
I had to point it out to my OH soon after I started, or I would have burst trying not to say something!
