    Almost 40. No one said anything to me for quite some time. I lost my weight very slowly though.

    Around 30 pounds -- my grown daughter came to visit for the first time in a few weeks. When she hugged me she got a surprised look at how far she had to compress the baggy clothes before she felt the person in them. Then she said,

    "Mommy's all trim!" It was awesome.

    i think it often depends on how you dress yourself.. ive actually gained weight in the past and people have asked if i lost weight because i was wearing darker more fitted jeans... ive just learned how to wear certain clothes for my body type.. and ive also lost weight and have looked bigger in certain outfits. if you have been making progress with your weight loss treat yourself to a new pair of jeans or clothes that compliment certain assets. :happy:

    I think people noticed around 25lb. I'm quite short, so that amount is very noticeable on my frame. But they didn't say anything. I cut my hair around the same time, and I lot a lot of comments on that, but the descriptions really made me think that they saw a difference but couldn't put their finger on it, so blamed it on the hair cut, LOL!

    30 - 35 ... now it's almost 70 ... and I've been getting "are you losing weight because you want to or because you've been ill and have health problems?"

    Really? Are you frickin' KIDDING ME????

    LOL ... oh well ... at least they notice ...

    The previous times Ive lost weight its around the 14-21 lb mark (or 1 - 1.5 stones) Its normally based on a comment of how my face has completely changed shape. When im larger my face is perfectly round and chubby. When I drop lbs my cheek bones are quite pronounced.

    That one comment can often drive you on especially when your going through a rough patch... its helped me many times before.

    That's why I always pay somebody a compliment if they are looking good or in good shape because when your on the receiving end of it makes you feel so good and happy that your hard work is paying off!

    I haven't heard it yet. It usually takes quite a bit, but no one ever thought I was 100lbs overweight either. I hide it well, which is a blessing and a curse when gaining and disappointing when losing! I think if more people noticed me losing, I would have been trying harder sooner.
