How many lbs did you lose before you heard...

How many pounds did you lose before you heard the first "Have you lost weight?"

em3120

For me it was only 15 lbs but I'm only 5'4" and don't have a lot to lose.

15 Pounds. That was me going from 190 to 175. A lady I don't see often said " I wasn't sure that was you, how much weight have you lost?"
She made my day!!!

jynxxxed

I think it was around 30-35.

First time? Probably 30-35 lbs. Now I heard it all the time even from people I see often. I would imagine most people would want to make sure that you have indeed lost weight before asking. Kind of like asking if a woman is pregnant, nothing worse than being wrong.

Random folks I interact with often on their own without me telling them I am losing weight: 2

This is at 41 pounds lost, I sort of wonder when/if more people will ever say something. I am getting smaller then a few and I kind of doubt in some circles it would ever come up. Funny thing is to this no one seems to notice I don't really drink either anymore at gatherings, maybe 1 glass of wine or a beer but that is it. I def eat less too.

I think it really varies, I can still wear some of my clothes, which are baggy. I fit into quite a few pairs of older (but basically new) pants that are 2 sizes smaller but with same tops maybe I just don't look like I am losing weight at this point.

Same here. Hardly anyone. But I'm down several sizes, so I dunno!

dnscal123

I have not heard it yet, I say yet as I'm waiting for that day!!!!!

Around 4 years ago when I lost almost 3 stones from 11st 11 to 9 stone it took for me to get new clothes that actually fitted me and weren't hanging off! I grudges buying new stuff for 'inbetween' sizes but when I did I got loads of compliments all the time.

SaraRT1983

Around the 35-40 lb mark!!

I was down 20ish lbs before people started commenting. I think people noticed sooner but it's one of those delicate issues where people are a bit nervous to say anything in case it's not true.

RhonndaJ

Around 45 or so, but then I have a heck of a lot to lose.

UNC_Brittany_84

I lost 15-20 pounds before people starting calling me skinny or asking how much weight I had lost. I was so excited that people had noticed.

sammys1girly

Probably around 5 lbs when my friend asked, but I don't have too much to lose and I'm short so every 5lbs really shows.

lyrical_melody

8 lbs...a friend saw a picture of mine online. Then, recently I have heard from a bunch of people and I have lost 10 pounds total.

dschassie

It took a while, I think I had lost 35 or 40 pounds before someone said something. I agree with previous comments, I think people are shy and want to make sure they are 100% right before saying something

zombiekookie

I always get it after a pound or so. I think it's only because I talk about working at loosing weight.

Bobby__Clerici

30 pounds, but I was such a hog that it took that much weight before it could show.

cici1028

For me, about 15. I only had about 50 to lose so it showed pretty quickly, especially in my face.

YoungDoc2B

20

After 40lbs I started getting a comment from almost someone everyday. I remember telling people all the time that I lost weight and how much I lost before the 40lbs. After I took off the next 20lbs it got ridiculous with people making comments. It was at a point that it got somewhat irritating. I got comments like are you OK(Like I might have cancer). Everything has evened out with the comments. I got a comment from one of the 6th grade boys on a team I help coach basketball on the other day. He asked if I was a body builder. Love it!!!!!

RunsOnEspresso

Somewhere between 15 and 20.

puppy1002

When I was down 30lbs I was never asked how much have you lost but I got a ton of you look different did you do something with your hair or makeup.

Cindy873

Haven't heard it yet. I'm down 22.

ninakir88

I'm 5'4, so it was about 15 pounds for me.

darkheart

Probably 10 or 15.

I still hear that from family members who see me like once a month. Thing is, I don't lose any weight. They just catch me at different stages of bloat, LOL.

mommiejohnsonof6

It was 15 pounds when people started to notice mine . they acted like it was so much more then that.

MichelleLaree13

10 and down a full size

ktsmom430

Around 40.

DreamOfSunshine

10-15 I think... and the funny thing is that it came as a roumor from a guy colleague :laugh:

ptbodacious

about 25 before I heard that - then about 40 before I stated hearing "Wow - I didn't even recognize you!" Both of those are fun.
