when do people start to notice???

For me, it was around 30 pounds...but that was when I bought a pair of jeans that actually fit. :laugh: Before that, I was just making do with the pants I had, and they were getting pretty baggy.

I agree with the posters who say that a lot of people notice, but don't say anything to you.....either because they don't want to offend you or they are jealous of your success, and wish they could be that successful themselves.

You are doing great! Keep it up! Remember you are doing this for YOU.

I'm down over 30 pounds from where I started. At work, it's been more gradual. I guess that's partly because I see them every day so it may be sneaking up on them. Last weekend, I took a trip to my old hometown and the reaction was much different. A number of my friends there expressed shock at the difference from the last time I was there. I guess it was the single chin that tipped them off.

I've lost 15 pounds so far, only about 2 people have told me they think i've lost weight them two people being my best friend & a family member,
Whenever people lose weight, other people notice they just don't want to say anything. :flowerforyou:

A few comments at 20 pounds even though I looked 100 times better. But I don't blame them and would say, "OMGosh, I lost 20 pounds and I am still FAT!!!" People started to speak up at 30 pounds. I felt your same discouragement at 20 pounds and a friend said it takes 30 and she was right! By the time you hit 40, most everyone will have made a comment by then. Now that it is over 40 pounds, the comments dwindle because most have recently said something already. I am expecting the "you're too skinny" and the "are you being healthy about this" comments when I hit 60 pounds lost. 60.1 pounds breaks me into the "healthy" category so, no, I won't be too skinny but I think people are gonna start saying that to me. For now, I have lost almost 45 pounds and I am still overweight. One day I will say, "I have lost 70 pounds and this is a good weight for me. Thanks for noticing I reached my goal weight."

I still don't think I look any different when I see myself
