    After about 25 lbs I noticed a huge difference. After 50 lbs I had to empty my entire closet and start fresh. Now I can't keep things that fit after about 3-5 lb loss b/c all that's really left is around my tummy so I drop a size every 5 lbs. LOL Good luck buddy!! Keep it up!

    I started at 240 pounds and stand 5'4. I really started to notice at about 20 to 25 pounds. It took almost 40 for my family I hadn't told that I was changing my lifestyle to notice. I didn't really notice in the mirror as fast as others did, but i noticed things around me more. How a seatbelt started to feel comfortable, or sitting in a chair I had more room. Those little things were some of my biggest motivators and kept me going. Good work on your weight loss, 8 pounds is amazing :)

    I actually haven't lost much at all in terms of pounds, but I've lost some serious inches and people are complimenting me left and right. I still don't always see it. But sometimes if I'm wearing an outfit I wore a few weeks ago, I'll catch a glimpse of myself and notice differences.

    20lbs before I noticed it in my clothes and 30ish before people started noticing. I was also able to go down a size in clothes after 30 lbs, which is probably why others started to notice.

    Saggy pants was my indicator lol using a belt was next. I was 357 when I started so finding old favorite pairs of clothes was great. Don't worry about how much weight you lose before you start seeing results, just stick to it and it will come. It's a great surprise to have, it will happen.

    For me people started noticing with just a 10lb loss. My start weight was 164. I am now 148. I want to lose about 15lbs more, I am also 5'3 in height. I think what worked for me is the toning from exercise more noticeable than the actual weight loss. Clothes that I could never put on now fit and even starting to get loose on me. The bigger you are the more you will loose vs. someone who is smaller. Don't get discouraged you will see a difference. The hardest part is the first few weeks because you want to see results so quickly. Believe me if you keep up the good work you will. Good luck!!

    It actually took me loosing 50 lbs before I really started noticing a difference. Of course I was extremely big. Just keep going and as others have said, take pictures. I look at old pictures of me now and can't believe the difference.

    I started at 252 and lost 7 lbs the first week. People at work noticed immediately because I think the first 10 lbs was lost from my face. I look like I've lost more weight than I actually have. I haven't kept track of inches lost but in January I was wearing 24W and now I'm wearing 12. I'm going down about one size every two/three weeks.

    Well I'm not a "big loser" yet but I've been at this since January and people started noticing around late April at which point I had lost about 15-20 lbs. I still don't see a difference at all though and am still wearing the same clothes comfortably.
