How long to notice a difference?

Someone posted a pic of me on facebook after I lost 50lbs and my family (who hadn't seen me in months) commented on other stuff in the pic but didn't even notice I had lost weight. It was a good thing though because I was able to surprise them with the full weight loss a few months later.

The thing I dont like about photos is its all relative, the lighting, the clothes, how far the camera is from you it all makes a difference so technically you may just look smaller because of how the shot was taken. Idk

I thought the same thing, that is why I wear the same clothes and stand in the same spot.

^This^. I was just about to type this LOL. Pictures help. You can control the variables alot.

I think noticing depends on the person & where you need to lose the weight from. I have lost 28 lbs but I don't see it all but the people I work with & my family telling me how good I look. I really want to lose my belly but I have only lost 1 inch from there. But I have dropped a pant size prob from losing in my hips & butt that I really didn't need to lose as much as the FAT belly. I recomend like others have said taking pictures & measurements often we are too critical of ourselves to see the progress any other way.

that's why THIS time I am having my daughter take progress pix. I've lost almost 13 pounds recently and I can see it. I do 4 views face closeup, side, front and back. It makes me know I am doing something even on the weeks I don't lose as much. I have 3 sets of pics I can compare now. Hopefully by the 12th set, I will be at GOAL. You are doing great. Just keep it up!!
