How many lbs had you lost before people mentioning it?

I'm so curious! I'm really tall so when I gain weight it's difficult to tell, but if I lose weight it's also hard to tell.

    Well, I haven't lost any pounds and I've only lost half an inch off my waist, but people tell me I'm looking good. I've been doing Stronglifts for a month now.

    I got my first comment at the 10 lb mark. At around the 30 lb mark, the comments started piling on rapidly :)

    I think it's more about how much you have to lose rather than hight. For me it was around 10 lbs.

    So i was just thinking about this today....

    When I gain 10 pounds, nobody including my husband, noticed. Trust me, I yelled at him for not noticing (he knows I'm a little crazy about stuff like this - as do I :))

    Therefore, at my current weight I won't expect anybody to notice unless I lost more than 15 pounds. I'm currently 5'10" and 189.

    When I first started losing at 289 lbs + I was probably getting comments after about 20 pounds

    I've lost 24 lbs (about 11% of my starting body weight, and I am 5'7") and no comments yet. Can't blame them - I really do look about the same. :grumble:

    I'm 5'7" and over 200lbs, I've lost 25 spread out over the entire year, more notably about 10-13 in the past few months and no one has mentioned anything yet. I think because it's been over such a long period of time. Normally, people would notice around the 10-15lbs mark on me :) (I've been through this a few times).

    5'6 and after 10 lbs of weight loss I was wearing more figure hugging clothes so friends and family could tell there was a difference.

    My tummy didn't look 5 months pregnant anymore!

    I carried my excess weight in the tummy area...

    I'm 5' 9" and I got some comments around the 20 lb mark, mostly from people who knew I was working on losing weight, and around 30 lbs down, everyone started commenting.

    My mother always notices weight loss before it actually happens. XD

    initially: about 7-8 pounds, but I didn't have much to lose. It was about 15 pounds though before people really started noticing.
