I have lost a total of 18lbs (yay!) but I am not noticing it when I look in the mirror.. I knew I had lost of weight (almost 50lbs) to loose but I thought I would notice 18lbs!!! not nothing... No body said anything at Easter either which makes me think that no one can tell.. its really discouraging... Dh told me last week that he could notice.. but I dont know if he was being real... kwim... I can tell in my clothes, which is a plus but still 18lbs!! I should notice it!!!! ok vent over..
Re: ww ladies...
18 lbs is awesome. DOn;t get bummed. Sometimes people may not say anything because they are worried it will be offensive - like it would somehow imply you were a big fatty before or you NEED to lose weight. Even if you DO need to lose weight, I bet people don't want to sound rude. Does that make sense?
I was like this when I first started WW .... I lost like 15 lbs and even though my clothes were looser and I *felt* smaller, I felt like it was no noticeable and NOBODY said anything. Bah. But then, all of a sudden, when I lost about 5 more lbs, EVERYONE was noticing and I felt like I *looked* smaller.
When I started WW, I wanted to lose about 40-45 lbs. I am down 30 now, but kinda have fallen off the wagon a little .... stopped logging foods for last couple weeks..... need to start again .....
