How long for the weight loss to be visible?

You see yourself every day. Most likely you will be the last person to notice your weight loss.

I haven't done any pics since I'm not a fan of my body without lots of clothes to hide the fat. (Also the same reason I won't wear a bikini, too fat.) I guess I was hoping to see some actual visible progress other then on the scale.

I was very much the same when I first started out. I remember standing in my lounge room burning with shame and anger and disappointment with how heavy I had become. I lifted up my shirt and my friend took photos of me and I cried and it was extremely painful emotionally. BUT! I remember thinking at the time "these will be my 'before' photos" and they have been such a huge motivation for me and still are. Those negative emotions you feel when you see your body can be turned into something really productive and positive. I know it's hard but I still definitely recommend taking photos and measurements to track your progress.

As someone above said, it's different for everyone. I regret not taking enough pictures through my weight loss but it took me losing about 10Ibs before I noticed.

I'm 5'7 and had 55 to lose. I'm down 36 and sometimes it's hard for me to see the changes in my own body, although some weeks i will feel like I've lost a lot in a particular area (at first it was my face, then shoulders, and now my legs look so slim -- wish my midsection would catch up!). Those very close to me started noticing around 15lbs. It took until 25-30 lbs for everyone else to start noticing (about 15% of my initial weight). Remember, just because people don't comment, doesn't mean they're not noticing!
