When people don't comment...

Hey guys! Another shorty here. I'm 5' 2 1/2". I think sometimes people notice you have lost weight but feel awkward about mentioning it. My MIL would always say she thought I was losing weight even though I wasn't. Then when I started losing weight she said nothing. Then she said I looked really good the other day and I must be losing weight. But then she turned around to my DH and said he looked like he was losing too. Well he has gained weight. So I don't even count her opinion.
I think the important thing is we know it and we think we look better and we feel better. We are a wonderful group of WISHers, aren't we!

Hi all! Yup I'm vertically challenged too standing at 5'3" . I've lost 31 pounds and only hear comments from those who know I'm working on my weight. (I did have one person say that now that I've lost some weight I should get a new haircut and stop wearing such frumpy clothes - How rude! I would've preferred a .... you looking great lately instead... ) It's ok because I feel good about myself and that's all that matters.

OP - don't let your mil get you down, you know you're looking and feeling good so keep up the good work!

I am 5 foot 2 1/2, I started losing last May, but it has been just recently that people have been commenting. So far I have lost 55 pounds so you would think it was noticable.
Some of my co-workers knew I was on South Beach and noticed the weight loss as I went along, but most people said nothing. But I found I started getting compliments once I bought new clothes. For the longest time I just wore my old stuff, it was hanging on me but I hated to spend a lot of money when I knew I was still losing. I bought blouses that were more fitted and some straight skirts and then people started saying things.
