How long did it take for others to notice you had even lost weight? I have lost 7.2 lbs since starting and although thats not much i was atleast hoping to hear "have you lost some weight?" So how long did it take for you to finally hear this? I know i shouldn't need to hear this, but i know it would definitely encourage me to hear it!

    No one noticed until I lost about 50lbs.....it would depend on how much you have to lose.
  • I have lost about 20 and no one has noticed except my hubby. But then again I do have about 120 more to lose
  • I think around twenty pounds..

    I've lost 40 lbs (lost a few before joining here) and have not seen many people since last year when I was fat. Only 2 people have said something to me. Everyone else either doesn't say anything or does not notice, not sure which.
  • Noticed at 20lbs and people started asking me what's my secret :smile:

    I was wondering the same thing and just today my four sisters all said that I need to wear the shirt I was wearing more often and I smiled and said that im not sure its just the shirt since ive lost about 10 lbs. I think people will see somethings different but it might take a little time for them to realize its weight loss but they will notice! Keep up the good work!

    People really didn't start noticing, and neither did i until i had lost about 60lbs...BUT it really depends on how much you initially need to lose. The bigger you are and the more you have to lose, it will take longer for it to show. It's so worth it though, losing a bunch of weight. People I haven't seen in awhile don't even recognize me! Even better, i can fit into my 13 year old sons XL sweat shirt and no longer have to wear a 3X! Hang in there, it really is worth the effort.

    I've lost 10.5 lbs so far and nobody's noticed yet, except my 10 year old son who gave me a big hug recently and told me my tummy felt thinner!! !I haven't quite gone down a full size in clothes yet and am still wearing the same things, they're just a lot looser on me now. I also need to wear a belt with jeans. I'm wondering if people will start to notice when I am able to fit into smaller clothes (got plenty waiting in my wardrobe!).

    I know what you mean, it would be nice for someone to notice!
