When did people start noticing?

It all depends on how overweight you are....I am at just over 20lbs lost and people are really starting to notice now. Remember to do it for yourself and no other reason. When you notice the change others will start to notice as well. Good luck!!!

Fifty. Pounds.

I noticed right away, though, and that's all that really matters

Me too. It was a little disheartening--but I noticed right away and my boyfriend's been great about supporting me

I had one person notice at around 20 pounds (though I think it was only because I was wearing a different pair of jeans that had just started fitting me again). I've had a couple ask me recently at around 30 pounds lost. I'm still waiting for the deluge of people noticing... and not really expecting it for another 30 pounds or so, if then.

Sorry, double post.

For me, it was around 40 pounds - now people are complimenting me almost daily! Before that, when I was down 30-35 lbs, I rarely got asked if I was losing weight. Of course people at the Cross Fit box (gym) I go to noticed when I lost around 10 lbs, but they knew I was working my butt off and trying. I haven't really "told" many people other than my immediate family, so I always appreciate the comments from people who didn't know I was trying to lose weight in the first place. Oddly, there are a few people who know I'm trying to lose weight, have seen me recently, and haven't mentioned a thing about the weight loss. :noway: I'm down about 4-5 sizes, so it's fairly noticeable. I also think some people don't want to comment since they'd be implying I was fat(ter) before. It's always a little touchy to ask women about their weight, even if it's moving in the right direction!
