I've always heard you have to lose about 10% of your weight before people start noticing, and this has held true for me in the past. Normally, around 30 lbs people start noticing for me.0

It was about 25 lbs but I'm 5'10" so it also works the other way too. I have to gain about 20-25 lbs before people notice!!!0

I've always heard about 10% of body weight lost before most people begin to notice. It seems to hold true in my life.0

of you and keep up the good work!0 -
People are always telling me I've lost weight, even when I've gained. I don't know if they just wish I would lose weight so it's like wishful thinking on their part or if my weight fluctuates so much it makes me look different all the time. OR could be the clothes I wear. Weird. I think sometimes people don't say anything because they are afraid (for who knows why) that they will offend you or hurt your feelings... Maybe you just work/hang with some oblivious peeps!0

My friends are mostly male, they wouldn't notice if I shaved off all my hair.0

I have gotten three weight loss comments this week...13lbs down...under five ft so it shows a bit faster on me.0

I've lost 15lbs and no one has noticed, my husband says I look better, he is the only person who knows I am trying to lose weight.0

Here is my take. In the world we live in people are afraid to offend so unless I know they have lost weight I do not ask just the same as telling someone congrats on being pregnant only to find out they aren't. Don't take it personally and know you are making these changes for yourself to grace the world with your presence for many years to come.0

I lost 30+ pounds and no one noticed. Then I lost no more weight for three months and began working out. Even though my weight didn't change, everyone noticed once my actual body fat percentage started dropping (I assume I was losing lean muscle along with fat when I originally lost).0

Ignore rude co-workers !! I have confided in a couple of mine that I am trying to lose and they are so supportive of my efforts. Many will notice a loss but won't say. 18lbs is a great achievement !0
