How many pounds in were you before people and yourself stated to notice a physical change ... I have over 100 pounds to lose and so far I'm down 19 but haven't noticed anything yet ...

started at 235 at 5;2. now I am 206. I started getting comments from others last week. I on the other hand haven't noticed much. I know there is a difference cause I'm starting to fit into a size 14 in pants and a large in shirts when I used to wear a 16 and XL. But when I look at myself in the mirror lately I just feel like I'm bigger

I started at 275 and am down 28. No one has noticed yet. I take that back-my very sweet boyfriend said he noticed after the first five but I'm pretty sure he was full of it. Last go round with weight loss it was at about 40 down that I started getting comments on it regularly.

Friends began noticing after 30 pounds gone, and after 50 pounds gone, they began asking for advice to discover my "secret".
They did not like my answers...lol
Clean, smart eating and hard, regular exercise. The people herd hates those words.
After 75 pounds lost, friends began drifting away to be replaced by others on the same page when it comes to health and fitness.
After 100 pounds lost and finally crossing the weight loss finish line, I was rewarded with a transformed life on every level. That was almost 5 years ago, and it just keeps getting better.

I have lost ~30 lbs so far but no one has really noticed But you know, I feel better and healthier and have had to buy new pants several times so I know and feel awesome about it. Good luck!

I'm 5'9 started at 271, currently 243, so almost 30 down and people have just started noticing, and I can feel it on myself a lot more since I've been doing weights as well so I feel much more toned!

I've lost 25lbs so far, and other than my husband, no one has noticed. But I feel different to myself, and that is what matters!

I noticed right away because within the first couple of weeks, things like rings and whatnot were loser.

Also, lots of other people may notice but never say anything...talking about one's weight is rather taboo. I look 180* different than I used to and there are lots of people who've never mentioned it. There are a lot of people who can't take a compliment...they interpret, "Hey...you look great, have you lost some weight?" to mean, "Hey...you used to look like a big fat friggin' cow." Just do a search on this forum and you'll find lots of people who can't take a compliment.

I started at 230lbs friends noticed at about 200lbs, my husband finally noticed after 40lbs but my dad only spotted it a couple of weeks ago when I hit 170lbs. The strange thing is I struggle to see any difference myself even though I have had to get new clothes.

I'm 5'9". Before mfp I started at 183. People really didn't start noticing until I hit 169. Then I was stuck at that for about 6 months.
Thats when I started mfp. Once I got to 160 I started getting a lot of comments again. I'm down to 150 and I haven't gotten any more comments.

I started noticing after 10 pounds and my friends did as well. My cheeks and legs became smaller right away

I'm down 61 (with 140+ lbs to go). My coworker notices and I notice. No one else has said anything, but more people are asking me if I'm walking (during lunch) and people are looking at me like "hmm".

KellyKrepps28

The people I would like to hear comments from haven't said a word yet and I'm down over 29 pounds. But some noticed it at around 20 pounds

Pretty fast actually since I'm 4'11 and its pretty obvious if I gain five pounds are lose five. People started noticing when Iost around 13lbs. (Though I gained back 2lbs ). People said they could first see it in my face, then slowly the comments starting being about my physique:).

I have 100lbs to loose to achieve a normal and healthy BMI and... I am starting today! Scary! But I have decided I will do it. I hope people start to notice only when close to my goal weight, it does embarrass me for people to talk about me so the longer it takes the better. Also I find that as soon as people start to see I am loosing weight for some weird reason I feel more social pressure to eat... When I have lost weight in the past... Often people would say 'you lost so much weight already you can have a break today'... Or 'just once' ... Or 'you look great like that time to stop anyway' ... And I find so hard to resist, I am not good saying no about anything to anyone... I guess I will have to learn. Part of the journey to once you achieve your target weight to keep the weight off I suppose. Having this community will definitely help.
