    I started at 156.6 and no one began to notice my weight loss till I got to my initial goal weight of the 130's. Then everyone noticed when I went into the 120's.

    I went from 307 to 262 very very very slowly and NO ONE commented. I'm dead serious. Not one individual.

    I was only at 307 for about 1 year and before that I was in between 260-270 for years & years. So it is possible that people either saw me every day and it was such a sloooooow loss (4+ years) that it was not noticeable, and people who didn't see me often were just used to seeing me big and didn't notice a difference from 260-270 to 300 so eh whatever.

    When I started MFP at 262 lb I got comments after about the first 15-20 lb though.

    I have noticed as my weight continues to go down, comments and compliments come in floods. I'll get a ton and then none for a couple of months and then people comment again...sometimes different people, but other times the same person who commented before saying things like "You've lost more, haven't you?"

    People close to me started noticing after about 25 lbs. For the most part it has been my improvement in fitness that people seem to be noticing more.
