I have lost about 12 pounds but I really haven't noticed a difference. I was wondering if and what was the first thing you have noticed after losing weight ? I just feel stuck!

    My clothes fitting differently. Slowly the tight clothes just started to fit like they should. I didn't do measurements when I started and now I wish I did.

    It took over 20 lbs for me to see it in my face. But I could tell in my clothes at 10 lbs.

    It was about 20 pounds for me...and others started noticing at 30 pounds. Don't worry. it will get there. Just keep working at it.

    Ummmm....you've lost 12 pounds...I'd say that's a pretty significant change. Be grateful the scale is moving...for a lot of people, it doesn't.

    You're probably not going to notice so much, 'cause you look at yourself every day... how about other people? Have people told you they've noticed?

    The first thing I noticed was putting on a pair of pants that I always had a little effort buttoning, and they buttoned right up with enough space at the waist to not crush my thumb... 12 pounds is significant, so be proud of yourself... keep working... and be humble when the compliments come rolling in! :smile:

    It took 15 pounds and 2 rounds of the 30 Day Shred for me to see the difference.

    I've lost about 75 pounds so far and sometimes I still feel like I don't see any difference in my physical appearance. I think since you are so used to looking at yourself, that sometimes it's hard to see yourself as different. For me the first things I started to notice change were my legs and arms. They still looked pretty much the same, but they felt less flabby. For me it took about 15-20 pounds to lose a pants size.

    Keep up with your hard work and changes will start to sneak up on you. For me, weight loss has been less of a "WHOA, look how much I've changed in the past month!" thing and more about noticing a lot of little things adding up. For example, my shoe size in the past year and a half has shrunk 2 1/2 sizes. Something like that might not be noticeable or noteworthy at first, but when you notice it, it is a great feeling of accomplishment. Like I said, don't give up just because you don't notice big changes now. They will come, I promise. For me it took not only took a healthy diet and exercise, but a new mental outlook on myself and my appearance.
