    I'd say the first month, where I lost 10 pounds and a bunch of inches.

    Good luck!

    Im 5'10 and starting weight this time around was 230's for reference. It took about 15 pounds for my clothes to start feeling looser. That was the first big thing I noticed! I would lose 1-1.5 pounds a week so probably took a couple of months.

    Ten pounds is a dress size, so you’ll notice your clothes are a little too big!

    I also find that every 10 pound loss equals 1 clothing size down.

    I'm top heavy, and I didn't notice the change till 20lbs later. I've always work skinny pants, but now my shirts are getting loose.

    I was 7 months pregnant when I happen to see my butt in the mirror And the image was scarred in my brain. 😱 So I hadn’t looked since. That was about 8 years ago.

    I’ve been using MFP for 3 months now, finally taking off that ‘baby weight’, and 2 months in, after about 8 lbs off, I noticed not just my clothes fitting differently, but I saw in the mirror a butt I could be happy with! 🤭😂🍑

    I've lost 6 pounds since May 1 (140 --> 134). I'm 5'3". I possibly lost a couple additional pounds since last fall, although I wasn't tracking. I went down 1 pants size to 8 US when buying new long pants for this fall, and most of my size 8 tops fit, plus a few smalls.

    In the past, I generally wear US 4s and 6s once I get under 125 lbs.

    Took about 12-13 pounds before I felt thinner. At around 30 lbs other people started noticing and commenting on it. At 40 pounds all of a sudden I had whole archaeological layers in my closet that fit again and that felt like the real breakthrough.

    I didn't see a change until I had lost around 20 pounds.

    55-60 lbs down is when the real changed for me happened. before that, too much fat covering the muscle. I take progress photos every few days. It's amazing looking at before and after photos and the progression.
