I've been doing 5:2 since March, and have now lost 20lb, more than 3 BMI points and nobody, but nobody had noticed, until today. (Except OH who knows I'm doing it.)
A friend commented, and then about an hour later someone else noticed too!

So all of you waiting for that moment, hang in there, as it felt very sweet, and it has spurred me on too!

It's an amazing feeling when people finally start to comment on all your hard work! Keep up the good work hun

I know exactly how you fell Annurca! I've lost over 30lb since January and no-one had noticed at all, until a colleague mentioned that she thought I'd lost loads of weight last Friday!!

I was walking on air all weekend!

Congratulations! There's nothing like somene noticing! Well done on your achievement!!

Oh thats great Annurca! It must have been disappointing when folk didn't notice your weight loss but still you kept going and dropping weight!
Enjoy every moment of people's admiration!
Its very early days for me and the initial loss of waist inches went back on while i was away for two weeks
But today i noticed my kneecaps feel pointier! :0) hehe! A small triumph but i am thrilled hehe! X

Congratulations, I had the same 2 days ago when the post lady commented on it. Its a great feeling.

Wow Jemima, 30lb!
To be fair, most people like to be fairly sure before saying anything, because it implies you looked bigger before, but I was nearly bursting to tell people, but it was a sort of game to see how long it would take!

Yay feels good don't it?


Time for a strut!

Well done and yes a very sweet moment
Strangely enough I was same as Jemina losing over 30 lbs before one of my friends noticed Sue

I once read that at half a stone you notice ,at 1 stone those close to you notice and at 2 stone everyone notices - so about right

... it was a sort of game to see how long it would take!

I'm playing this game too. I decided months ago to give prizes to the first three observant people. Husband was #1, and he gets enough prizes from me without extras . My hair stylist got prize #2 (big basket of food from Whole Foods - seemed appropriate) and I'm still waiting to see who gets #3.

I remember when that happened to me! It was such a great day

Congratulations Annurca!

Congratulations on your success, Annurca! It's lovely to get appreciative comments isn't it? I think people are a bit hesitant to make direct references as it can be a bit of a minefield. Apart from the closest family and friends, the most I've gotten from people is "you look well" and I am several sizes smaller than I was six months ago.

Yay awesome, good result!

Wow. Amazing result! Can't wait for this to happen to me
