Are you 80-90lbs overweight, please reply??

I started to see a difference in my face with ten pounds lost, but it wasn't until I was close to 20 pounds down that I could start to see a diffence elsewhere. And now, every pound I lose I can see the difference in my body. My thighs, hips, butt (especially!) and belly.

I started at 310 lbs with a goal weight of 180 lbs. People didn't really notice until I had lost 40 lbs. I think this was in part that my clothes were all too small (I refused to by a bigger size and opted to starting losing weight) and look very bad. Once things started fitting nicely, the comments about my weight loss started.

I have about 100 pounds to lose. Of course no one has really noticed yet, but I can tell the difference. I think time will tell

Mistifill

it also has a lot to do with how tall you are. I am 5'10 and it always takes me 20 lbs before anyone notices...its discouraging but just hang in there!

I started getting compliments from everyone around 50 lbs lost and I started at 200.I think it's different for everyone.

I also think women tend to notice/ comment before men. Previously, on WW, I lost 100 lbs. It took about 30 or more before my female coworkers noticed. Took longer than I expected really but because women focus on weight more in general, they notice. Men however, didn't comment until it was at least 50 and in some cases not until 70 LBS!! I think they're afraid of offending you; my friend says they didn't notice until my boobs stuck out further than my stomach, haha!

Unfortunately for me, stress and a person who didn't treat me right, led me to give it all up. NOW I'm back right where I started but ready to do it again the right way (same as last time) but this time for the right reason (ME!). Good Luck to all!

I started at 250 lbs and have lost 22 lbs (roughly--weigh in is tomorrow but that's the way the scale is trending). Nobody has really noticed other than my husband, although quite a few people know I'm aiming for a more healthy lifestyle. Part of this is because I pretty much look the same from the front or back--but when I turn sideways the difference is really noticeable. I hadn't realized just how big my stomach had bloated up until after it went away.

I've still got 88ish lbs to lose before I get to my first re-evaluation point. I'm hoping to be down to <200 lbs by mid-July as that's the next time I'll be seeing my family and I really want to wow everyone .

I started out at 298 and currently weigh 233...i've also been overweight all my life....people started to notice when i lost about 50lbs, and now that im 65lbs down all of my coworkers are complimenting me on my transformation and notice how my clothes are practically starting to fall off of me:) Keep at it and remember-"Persistance is better than perfection on the road to weight loss success!"

I have a goal of 80lb to lose. I've lost 26lbs so far, and I'm just starting to receive comments...hang in there!

I have the same problem but I do not care anymore. The reason is that I have a neighbor that ran everyday and ate good and I never saw a difference then one day she was 80 pounds lighter. I was shocked that after eight months watching her it seem like overnight success . Today she celebrated her 100 pounds weight loss. Took a whole year but she did it.

My year will be up November 10,2011. My goal 83 more pounds. I have lost 16 pounds and only a few have notice

raven1114

yeah 20 lbs is usually when most people notice

No one besides family & a couple of good friends have said anything abt my weight loss. I've noticed a few coworkers & my supervisor look at me kinda weird. I've definetely felt the changes even though I don't see it that much. My clothes are loose & I can move more easily & feel smaller in my car and sofa. Just stay motivated & don't get discouraged if no one has said anything yet. What matters is how your feeling. The more you lose the more taller you'll stand & grow more confident and people will begin talking. Keep on truckin!

Lost 18 lbs so far and went from a size 10 to 8, no one who didn't already know I was trying to lose weight have commented at all. I'm still waiting, but I love the energy and the clothes I can wear now. Just trying on clothes w/o buying at the store is super fun.

frankbo25

I was about 92 lbs overweight according to the bmi scale, and I was exactly the same way, I never thought it looked like I was losing but other people noticed, we are many times too hard on ourselves, my advice is dont worry about it and just keep working hard toward your goal and you can get there, 1 year ago I weighed over 270 lbs and didn't think I had it in me to really lose weight and keep it off but now I weigh around 191-193 lbs and there is no going back!!!

sexygenius

I have lost 11 (dont mind my ticker) and there is no difference...my dad and sister say they can notice..but im sure its just to motivate me

thomalr6180

I have about 70 to lose. I have lost 92-/+ a few so far. I think I was around 20 when people started noticing. I think it also depends on how you carry your extra weight too. :flowerforyou:

Gettinfit2

I have a goal to lose a total of about 80 pounds. I've lost 11 and I don't think anyone will notice until I lose about 25 pounds.

riley711

It wasn't until I lost about 20 lbs that some folks began to notice. I started the journey at 280 and my ultimate goal is 160 (wow!! I finally said it out loud!!). But I have no doubt that by God's grace, that goal will be met. But you can't put stock into what people say. If you do, they will get you off course every time. Keep your eye on the ultimate prize.

susancelli928

Did you honestly notice when you gained your first 8lbs...I know I didn't..I didn't notice I was getting fat until I had gained 15lbs...People will notice and you will be like did I really awww thanks... Don't worry you will get noticed.

SaraBrown12

I started on 219 i think :S and i have lost 6lb in 10 days. People have made comments about my shape changing at my place of work so far. I think when your heavier and u start an excercise programme your measurments are a better indication of progress then scales. I have lost several inches from all kinds of random places doing the 30 day shred (day8) and lots of walking. Another thing.. i am not so concerned about others commenting on my hard work. When i think about what i....we are all doing thats a better feeling then any comment. I feel energised outside and in now!!!

youthgonewild23

I started at 225 and am down to 199. Only my fiance and I have noticed. I work at a place with almost 200 employees and nobody has noticed either. Maybe it's because I see them so often and it's a gradual weight loss, they don't notice. I don't know. I'm sure eventually someone will notice. No big deal either way. Just don't let it get you down. Keep up the good work.

proverbs31chick

Thanks everyone!!!

aquasw16

Yeah I would typically say it takes about 25 lbs at our weight. I started out at 263 and i am 248 right some people, like my mother, who are really observant have noticed my face slim down...but when i lost about 40 lbs a few years ago it was when i hit the 25lb mark that people really started noticing. Keep going girl!!

tethomas73

I have lost 12lbs and about 10 inches, couple of my coworker and my sister has notice the weight lost.. I carry most of my weight around the mid section (not good).. 2 years ago my daughter and I started walking she wanted to support me. She weigh in at about 117lb. In 2 months she went down to 105lb. Now I needed to lose the weight but ppl notice her weight lost which was only 12lbs. I had lost about 20 and no one said anything to me..I think the difference this time is that I'm using more weights in my work out and doing a lot more ab work out.. Good luck on your weight lost journey wzelleke

Paz26

its very sud ale its more like toning up @ first everyone is different people can lose inches or weight. your doing a great job 8lbs is great!

bbb84

I am 5'11 and have lost 21lbs and no one has said anything except one person, and he knows I'm trying to lose so I think it was just encouragement not an actual (oh my you've lose weight). I'm hoping my 30lbs down someone will see a difference, i purposely didn't tell anyone I was working on this so to prevent fake compliments, I want real ones based on real progress. I have at least 90lbs to lose if not more, walk tall and be proud of your success so far. You've got this!!
