^ Sorry typo *START to notice!
Hi there,
Just curious when people started to notice you were losing weight? ( I know this will be different for everyone, just curious)
I have lost 8 pounds so far which I know isn't very much but I notice it myself lol just can't wait for someone to say " wow you are looking good" :) you know?

    People might notice but are afraid to say anything yet (or ever).

    Oh, I'm with you. My seven pounds don't look like much since I have so much to lose, but I'm damn proud of them! I'm thinking people won't notice, until I'm at least 25-30 pounds down. Except my husband of course! Plus, this time I am doing it for myself.

    I've lost nearly 10kg, and its now that people are noticing. Although my aunt told me to go see my Dr as she thought I was getting ill!

    It depends on the person, if it was someone I see everyday then it took awhile since they wouldn't see as dramatic a change, but I seen a few people I haven't seen for awhile, probably 2-3 months after I started living a healthy lifestyle and they were amazed by how I looked.

    I hear you, the weight we lose is something for us to be happy about, but I feel it's not noticeable to other people! I finally realized it works for me and thats all that counts!. Keep up the good work!

    good for you on 7 pounds! That's great! :)
    I was thinking about 20 pounds people might start saying something. lol.. I think once my face starts slimming a bit they will notice. Even if they don't I know it's about how we feel in the end :) you're right gotta do it for ourselves! But compliments are always nice ;) hehe

    My mother is like that! When I gained back some weight this year she said " good, you were starting to look ill" which I know isn't true lol I think some people are just a bit negative no matter if you are gaining or losing.. always going to hear something from someone. I try to ignore it now and just do what I know is right for me.
