    5'5" Started at 230, have lost about 25 pounds. My in-laws and best friend noticed around the 20 pound mark, but no one else has really noticed.

    PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT PEOPLE MAY NOTICE BUT JUST NOT SAY ANYTHING!!!

    Weight loss is still an uncomfortable subject for some people to talk about, especially if you have a lot of weight to lose.

    Also, if you have a lot to lose, you may find it more reinforcing to track moments where you notice your own weight loss, like when you go down a size in pants or shirts.

    Height: 5'6"
    Starting weight: 253 (Size 20 jeans, XXL shirts)
    Current weight: 158 (Size 8 jeans, medium shirts)
    Goal weight: 153

    Started at 232. No one noticed until I had lost 40 lbs, then Everyone noticed all at once. Part of that was probably because that is right when it got warmer outside so I wasn't hidden under jackets anymore.

    My starting weight was 242. My daughters live with me and notice every little thing, but they go to the gym with me and see me in fitted workout pants, etc. The coworkers who have commented at all noticed at around 25 lbs, and now at 32 pounds, a few people I haven't seen in months gave the, "Wow! You look great!" reaction. But most people, especially coworkers, just don't comment. And that's fine too. I'm not doing this for them.

    Started at 240 and nobody said anything until I lost down to 200 pounds. I think people notice but are afraid to comment. When I received that comment, it was like yes! Someone finally noticed! I'm 5'8.

    When I started I was 5'5.5" and 241 lbs. People really started noticing after I dropped around 25-30 lbs. My parents were the first to comment about it, funny enough.
