How much weight you had to lose before...

1) You noticed
2) Your family noticed
3) Others noticed
4) Your clothes size changed
5) You felt truly proud of yourself

1. Barely noticing at 105lbs lost.
2. They said they noticed after around 20-25lbs. Don't know if they were being honest or just trying to keep me motivated .
3. Around 50lbs I think.
4. Jeans started getting looser and looser after around 30lbs lost. I continued wearing them until I lost 100lbs (at which time they looked huge on me). I had become comfortable with them being super baggy, and when I tried on jeans that actually fit good, they made me feel like i looked like *kitten* in them - like I was trying to squeeze into jeans too small for me. Even tho others said they looked good. It took me a while to overcome this and finally toss the old jeans and accept new ones.
5. Ask me again after I've lost another 150ish lbs

Wow both of you! Amazing losses. I am just getting started at 30lbs down... You inspire me. If you aren't proud of yourself yet, know that I sure am!

1) I am almost 50 down and I am just now feeling like I am making a differenc on some days.
2) I dont live around family but my fiancee and a friend I treat like a dad said they could tell at around 20 pounds
3) This is the frustrating part no one else seems to notice
4) I haven't bought any new clothes I have been wearing clothes in my closet I haven't in years. I actually was able to get in an XL pants the other day. I still have maybe 10 pounds to feel comfortable in them. I can say that I was wearing a 13 in panties and now I can fit in size 9.
5) This is again on which day you catch me on. I am proud I am doing it and not giving into cravings. There are days I am proud of myself and I feel really confidant. Then on some days I can catch a look at myself and think God I am still huge will I ever lose enough.

Like I said I have lost almost 50 pounds I still have 70 to go.
