I've lost about 35 lbs this year so far and usually no one mentions it to me, either. Though I kind of prefer it that way. I'm still wearing my same clothes. I was busting out of them last January (or not fitting in them at all) and now they're just getting baggy. So I "look" the same mostly. Except having lost about 35 lbs. in my neck. I could stand to lose some in my ankles.
Anyway, I know, and it makes a big difference to me. We'll see what happens once I've lost another 35.
I think you've got to just keep rolling and know the difference that 40 lbs. makes to
you.
