How long until people noticed your weight loss?

I'm only 4'10" and lost over 20 pounds before anyone other than my sister-in-law noticed.0

Haha, I don't work out. I'm quite lazy0 -
I've lost 16 pounds out of 80, and no one has said anything. I've only noticed losses in my legs and hips. My belly, arms, and face still look mostly the same, so I don't think anyone is going to notice until those start to shrink.0

I've noticed that some people are actually uncomfortable making a comment in case they're wrong. It's only when you mention it yourself that they feel they can make a comment.
So they probably saw the loss, but are at a loss as to whether it's appropriate or not to comment.

Lose the weight for yourself....it will happen as long as you are dedicated. As long as you are noticing (how your clothes fit, energy levels, etc...) you are doing your job.0

10% (20 pounds) of my weight before people noticed. It took me longer. Sometimes I still can't see it. I'm 40 pounds down now.0

I'm 5'8 and first heard it at around 20 down. Now i'm at 30 down and hearing it fairly regularly. While I appreciate it, it doesn't matter. With or without it, I've got this. So do you!0

I think it depends on how you carry the weight, I'm quite tall (5'8") so when I put on weight/lose it, it's not hugely noticeable. I've lost 20lbs so far (now 148lb from 168), my husband said I look thinner, but no one else notices.0

I could be wrong, but I think this really depends on height. I'm 5'3" and have lost 23 pounds, and my fiance is 6'2" and has lost 19. People have really noticed my loss (even I can see it now), but his is less obvious. I feel like my weight has fewer places to go, and it's really obvious when I gain even 5 or 10 pounds. Does any of this make sense? Admittedly it's totally anecdotal.
Makes sense, perhaps it's more about %of body weight lost than comparing lbs.
I'm v.close to goal and 20% of bodyweight lost and everyone even acquaintances notice as the change is pretty dramatic.
I started getting comments about my 'new hair style??!' at about 9% lost (about 14lbs) and then comments about actual weight lost at about 12%0
