Leelanau, I hope I'm not sounding harsh here, but I agree with you when you said you probably set your expectations too high.

It was someone else's wedding; the bride, groom and wedding party are the center of attention.

My relatives, who I rarely see in person, go up and down on the scale all the time. It's not my place to comment on it. Like Verbena said, weight loss could be for an unfortunate reason. Or, someone's weight gain could have been because of taking birth control pills or anti-depressants or something like that. Let's say they stopped taking them and the weight comes off. So wouldn't it embarrass someone to ask about their weigh loss in that case?

I refuse to comment on anyone's weight loss unless they initiate the conversation. If you want comments, it's up to you to go fishing. Once someone brings up their specific weight loss efforts, I'll go ahead and congratulate them on it and tell them that I can see a difference. Not before.

Much continued success to you, and keep on doing it strictly FOR YOU.
