Hmm... I need to find out myself. I don't know what is the answer to your question. I'll do some research in Google and get back to you if I discover an good answer. You should email the people at Medifast as they probably could answer your Medifast question..

I didn't hear anything until I was close within 7 pounds of my goal and all of a sudden my family was telling me I was too thin and to stop. Nothing like going from nothing to screeching in a day...

It WILL happen. when you start getting compliments it does make you feel SO GOOD..

I know it gives me the incentive to continue..

You are doing great. Keep up the good work..

I even wrote a blog about it so I feel your pain! I found it very odd indeed. Some you know notice, but don't say anything. Could be jealousy. Some men in particular don't know if they should or know how to say it..

It really did irk my chain. Still does when I think about it. I'm the type that is free with compliments, notice when others get new glasses, haircuts and lose some weight. Afterall, why not life someone up with saying "You look great". Just keep being your own cheerleader, because in the end, that's what counts..

You look great!..

My boss noticed I was losing weight a while back and he asked if I was sick "Nope I just need to look better when I meet my daughter's b/f" and then my old Assist Mgr said I looked like I lost alot of weight and he spoke with my MGR and they both thought I was sick .... told him "NOPE!".

Funny thing is my Boss knew I was on Medifast .... how he thought I was sick is beyond me..

But hey SOMEONE NOTICED!..

I'm down about 30 pounds and haven't really gotten any notice. One friend noticed about 15 pounds down, but he also knew I was dieting. My husband has made comments, and for the most part, I believe him. I can't see any difference other than some clothes not fitting right. I think if I lost more in my face/chin, I'd see the difference. But I haven't lost anything there yet, unfortunately (and yes I measure that area)..

Your husband is a doll for calling you skinny.

YAY!!..

I do think that people notice but don't say anything. Maybe they're just afraid to say anything because it might be interpreted like "hey, weren't you really fat there for a while?".

I am going to keep doing Medifast until I get to goal whether people notice or not, so it's not a big deal. This program is making me happy and healthy and I know I'm the only person I need to please. It just gets old tooting your own horn, you know?.

Thanks for all the messages. It's good to know that I'm not the only one going through this...

I hear ya! I'm down 35 pounds. I've had 2 people notice, family members who live in a different city so we don't see each other very often. One knew I was doing Medifast - the other didn't. My step daughters know I'm doing mf, and haven't said a word..

My husband notices and comments all the time on how much smaller I'm getting. Thats feels good - but he only says something when I'm naked, so I'm thinking there is an alterior motive in there for him. *wink!.

We need affirmations, we want to be noticed in a good way! The people in your life who matter will notice - and the rest may be so self-absorbed that you could dye your pink and they wouldn't see it..

Stay with it - and when you look at yourself in the mirror you can say, "Damn girl! You look GOOD!!!"..

I didn't hear anything for the first 25-30lbs. Now I hear something positive almost daily!!! Sometimes it freaks me out!!! LOL..
