    Usually I lose a size when I've lost 10lb.

    I would love to get to the point where losing 10 pounds would drop me a size, but I'm sure those 10 pounds are slow to leave.

    Lol, that certainly put it into perspective for me! I'm struggling too and love the analogy.

    Maybe this will help. Imagine your weightloss as peanut butter :smiley:

    You lost 7 pounds right? Imagine 7 pounds of peanut butter smeared over your entire body. It's not likely to create a very thick layer is it?

    Keep going.

    I didn't notice until nearly 30 pounds lost, and nobody else did either :(

    My weight loss, about a stone so far, hasn't shown in my clothes yet. This is probably because I've been wearing the same size (in verrrrry stretchy fabrics and shapeless styles) for about 4 stone :/

    I'm two holes smaller on my watch strap though :smile: and I did take pics and measurements when I first started counting calories - just haven't done it since!

    You need to go out in public. . . .go on. . . . .

    I would go on % body weight lost and not actual lbs. I noticed a difference at 15% original weight lost.

    I've lost about 8 pounds and while my clothes are much looser, no one has noticed.
    When I see pictures of myself I don't even really notice.
    I sure feel thinner though.

    This is an excellent analogy.
    My weight can go up and down by five pounds and it looks no different on me, and I'm not a very big person.

    I've lost 40lbs and my pants only feel a tiny bit more loose. No worries =)

    'No one has noticed' this was your comment, is it because no one sees you?

    No, it's because everyone sees me all the time and they don't notice the day to day changes.

    Ive lost 11 lbs so far. all my measurements are the same.
    But my face is slimmer. my pants are a little loose by the knees. and my wrists look a little thinner and my collar bone will stick out more if i shrug my shoulders.

    but my waist isnt shrinking it's just where the weight is coming off first.

    Thank you for all your guys comments, a few of you have asked for my height, I'm 5ft 1. I have recently started to do Pilates as well, so I am hoping that will help me tone up.

    I started noticing at the ten pound mark. Amusingly enough, the last ten pounds have made almost zero visible or measurable changes. I think my hamstrings are starting to get definition, but that's about it. :neutral:

    Since June I've lost half a stone (142 - 135) and I havent beem able to see any change, my clothes still fit the same and my measurements having changed. Im proud to have lost this much as usually i will lose 4 pounds or so and then go back to normal and put on 5 pounds!

    I was just wondering when did you guys start noticing a difference? And is there anything I can do to descrease my measurements?
    I noticed I could buckle my pants again after losing 20 pounds. At 30 pounds, my face slimmed and people asked if I had lost weight. At 40 pounds lost, my pants became baggy, so I bought all new clothes just one size too small, and they lasted for 25 more pounds lost.
    After 100 pounds lost, nobody even recognized me.
    That's the best! :)

    Yeah ... 10 lbs doesn't seem to make any difference to me.

    When I had dropped about 13 kg (28 lbs), I bought a skirt one size down from what I had been wearing before I started here. I was in a hurry and didn't try it on, but I thought that surely by then I should be one size down. Nope. Well ... the skirt fit, but by the end of the day it was feeling pretty tight. I wasn't able to wear it comfortably until I had dropped 15 kg (33 lbs).
