    I keep getting the same comment, "I can really see it in your face." Was I so fat that my "face" was the fattest part of me? My legs and gut are where I keep losing all the inches. I do appreciate people noticing though. I just wish they would notice more of me.

    Some people noticed immediately -- like 5 lbs. One day I ran into a woman at work I hadn't seen in around 30 lbs. She was stunned and complimented my hair and makeup and then called me to tell me how great I look. She didn't want to embarrass me by saying, "Wow, you've lost a lot of weight!" out in public. I appreciated that. I do have to say that my hair has NEVER looked better. A day hasn't gone by that I haven't gotten a compliment on my hair! By the way -- no real style or color change. On the other hand, some family members haven't commented at all. And they saw me after 35 lbs. We'll see if anyone notices this weekend.

    It took a while for people to notice - I was down about 30 lb before I started getting comments. And then people would say I was looking really well. I didn't realise they meant thinner for a while till I noticed that a lot of people kept telling me I looked really well. Them being subtle I suppose.
    The best compliment I've had from my weight loss was a bit of a roundabout thing. I noticed, after about a year of me loosing weight, that my staff were all trying to be healthier too, taking up exercise, eating salads in the office, riding a bike into work rather than driving etc, and now everyone in the office is slimmer. Nobody made a big deal about it, but I guess they thought if I could do it, they could too. That makes me feel really proud - like I've improved everybody's health not just my own :happy:

    I've lost 7lbs and people already have started to notice which is a great motivation boost! Can't wait to hear the comments when I lose the other 31lbs! :laugh:

    I have lost 14 kg the last 5 months, very few people have noticed.

    i suppose it depends on the general body structure.

    I think some people start noticing when you've lost about 10% of your body weight. At 15% - the majority of people notice...at 20% everyone will know....

    I lost about 50lb a few years ago now and I noticed after about 4 months then I felt really uncomfortable when people noticed as I was unable to deal with the attention as I had not had it before.
