I've always wondered at what weight people start to notice, I can lose 15lbs and no one notices, I barely notice.

I had a bunch of comments 6 months into cycling. Then my weight loss stagnated. Have actually gained back bit, although some is muscle from hitting the gym. My favorite comment was from was from this attractive woman I know. She wanted to know if I had gotten sick and lost a bunch of weight. Said I looked good. Unfortunately, her boyfriend could probably kick my butt any day of the week.

I was asked once if I was sick or losing weight intentionally. Does that count? I was complimented by the local Undertaker on my weight loss; he had also lost weight and I almost did not recognize him and this is a guy I have known for about 10 to 15 years!!

Certainly! That is my favorite self portrait. I did that shot for a photography contest on DPChallenge.com. The subject was "You're doing it wrong". My title was "Cycling Tip #1: Rubber Side Down"
