Today, I hung out with some old friends for the first time since losing about 50 pounds, going from clinically obese to a healthy weight. I even bought a cute new dress for the occasion to show off my new body. No one noticed the change. FML

Today, I got to see my best friend for the first time in months. Her first reaction was to say, "Wow, you gained a lot of weight." I actually lost a fair bit. FML

Today, I walked downstairs in a new outfit, after dieting for 3 months, and losing just over 20 pounds. My mom took one look at me and said "You'd better keep going." FML

Today, I went to a high school reunion. An old friend I hadn't seen in a while suddenly came up to me and gasped, "Oh, thank God!" I was about to greet her and catch up when she added, "I'm not the only one who gained weight!" FML

Today, my best friend told me I lost weight. I was happy because I've worked hard to shed off those pounds. I asked her what changes were evident, she told me that I now have a neck. FML

Today, I was at the gym and saw an old friend. I have put on a lot of muscle in the past few months, and she said to me "Wow, you've really gotten big." Just by habit I said "You too." Turns out she's gained 45 lbs since I'd last seen her. Oops. FML

Today, after months of dieting, I finally reached my goal weight. Excitedly I told my boyfriend, who gave me a beautiful dress as an early Christmas present. It was a size too small. FML

Today, I took the kids to the pool. I'm short and 20lbs overweight but they talked me into it and I put on a swimsuit for the first time in 10 years. As soon as we got there, a girl my height but a good 150lbs heavier said, "It's so nice to see another big girl in a two-piece!" FML

Today, I came back from my 3-month vacation in France. During my vacation I lost 32 lbs and I was so excited to show off my new body to my boyfriend. When he walked in the door, he didn't notice me, but he did notice my younger, thinner and tanner sister strutting around in her bikini. FML

Today, I finally met the guy I've been talking to online for a year. I'd dropped 10lbs off my weight. He'd shaved 20 years off his age. FML

Today, I finally lost enough weight to fit into the beautiful dress that I ordered for my senior prom. I graduated from high school in 2010. FML

Who cares? You did it for yourself, and as long as you feel happy, that's really all that matters.

OP, there is no way they didn't notice. They might not have known how to comment on it. I know some people get offended if you comment on their weight loss, but because of the way they lost the weight, not always the comment. My guess is they didn't want to risk offending you. I know when by boyfriend dropped 50 pounds due to diet and exercise, everyone noticed and close friends and family complimented. Unfortunately, he got a pat down from a manager at a store we are regulars at (we didn't get a chance to stop by a thrift store for a whole new wardrobe and all he had to wear was baggy clothes.) and he assumed we were stealing. Sucks, but different people have different reactions to weight loss.

In a strange way, maybe its because they don't care about your weight, but enjoy being around you because of who you are?

Trust me op, as someone who has also lost a lot of weight; I can safely say that they just didn't want to bring it up unless you did. Weight is a very personal topic, and some don't want to overstep their boundary.
