How much weight did you lose before people noticed?

I'm 5'9" and started at about 168lbs. People noticed fairly quickly, after about 10lbs or so.

I'm 5'9, started at 213lbs and my mum and my bf have noticed (but they know I'm trying!) and started noticing around the 10lb mark I think.

I'm 5"10, started at 282 lbs, now at 251 lbs (31 lb lost) and a couple of people have said something, not many.

I am 5'6'', I started my weightlloss journey when I was 191lbs.. people only started noting a change in my weight after I lost around 25 pounds..Let me add that only a very few people have noticed the weightloss so far:grumble: . It could be because I am hiding behind my old loose clothes :bigsmile:

5'8 and 10lb loss.

5 kg's, I'm 5'4.

5'8" and started at 174 - people started noticing after the first 15 pounds. but the comments really started coming in after the first 30 fell off.

I lost three stones (42 pounds) a few years ago. I went from looking huge to average size. At the time I felt like a completely different person so I just expected everyone to notice, My imediate family was extremely proud. One of my close friends who I saw everyday also also commented on how amazing I looked. However I was shocked that a lot of people didnt even notice. One of my oldest friends who I saw between 3-6 months still hasnt realised (after all these years) that I lost so much weight. My work colleagues never commented on it.

Sometimes it does hurt though when good friends do not notice. For example, In May I had put on 10 pounds. I had met with a friend (different friend from above) at that time and it was obvious that I had gained a lot of weight. I had discussed with her my frustration as I seemed to be going through a period of gaining and I couldnt understand why. In September I had lost all the extra pounds when I met up with this friend again. I was expecting her to comment as my face looked so different and I looked so much better in my clothes. Nothing was said. Even when I mentioned at the end of the evening about how good I felt with my new way of eating, she just smiled and started talking about something else. This is a friend who faces similar weight struggles as myself so we usually comment on each others diet and try and get motivated from each other. It really hurt when she didnt say anything.

I'll let you know

Many people are jealous and won't say anything, even if they do notice.

around 4-5 kg. Im 5'4 as well

I am 5"6 and started out at 260 pounds ten weeks ago. I have lost 35 pounds and no one has noticed (except my partner but he knows I am losing weight). My parents didnt even notice nor did my in laws (who saw me this weekend just gone) and none of then have seen me since I started my journey.

So it sucks but luckily I am doing it for me, not them.

People finally noticed when I was about 2stone down (5"8). However, as I tend to be around guys mainly and let's face it men don't tend to talk about these things. They might notice but not mention, just my experience

At 275 lbs people started noticing after I dropped 18-20 lbs, and now at 224.6 people start noticing after about ten pounds.

That definitely sounds like jealousy to me. What a shame (and well done!)

My husband noticed pretty early on, I think, but nobody else has commented yet apart from my doctor (which makes me think it must be quite obvious if he has noticed it). I was never really big though so it's possible it would go unnoticed.

I'm 5ft6 and it took 10lbs for people to comment
