    I have lost 15 pounds and one pants size, and I'm thinking your chart is right and I will need to lose another 10-15 to get down another one. I am losing weight in my stomach area (and of course my boobs are gone!). I'm down 3 inches in my waist and 1 inch around my belly, but I've only lost .5 inch off my hips and that is the real problem area for me!! Granted, I appreciate the waist area going down because I do have baby belly fat there from my 15 month old, but...I'm starting to look unproportional again...I tend to be thinner/smaller up top and bigger at the bottom, pretty much your standard pear shape here. Oh yeah...and NOONE has noticed my weight loss. Guess I agree with that blessing/curse theory...noone notices when you gain OR lose.

    I feel your pain! Thirty was my magic number. Once I lost 30 pounds, it was like suddenly the whole world figured out my body had changed. Now, I get compliments constantly, but boy, those first 30 pounds were so frustrating!

    I am hoping that is the case... I just brought the 20lb mark as of this morning... WOOHOO!!! And I am about to do a major switch up on my workout routine so hopefully I see some amazing results!!

    Some of my friends started to notice at ~25-30 pounds gone. Hubby didn't notice until 35-40 pounds gone. But get this: we were out to dinner 2 weeks ago with some of his office colleagues. They asked him how much I had lost. His answer -- about 15 pounds. The total at that point was more than 40 pounds!

    He says now they rib him about his answer every time they go to a bar after work. Good!!!

    That is hilarious because I was just thinking yesterday how maybe I should stop telling my boyfriend how much weight I have lost so far because I don't know that he realizes how much I have gained in the last few years. He always says "you are not fat, so you put on a few pounds, so what?" But I think when I told him last time that I was up to 18 lbs lost he sort of took pause, like he was mentally figuring out how much I had lost and how little my body had changed... YIKES!! I kind of like him thinking I only had 20 lbs to lose :)
