    10 lbs. My weight is in my face, so once it slimmed down, people noticed :)

    My friend didn't notice when I lost 10 but just saw a pic of me on NYE and asked... so I am about 15 down now, I'm also 5'4

    However, people I don't see all too often haven't noticed

    It took until I was at almost 30lbs lost. I was 217lbs starting out and the first 7lbs took three months. Then the next 23lbs happened in just over two months. I had not really took things serious at first.

    I'm 5'4''. Maybe around 20 lbs for people I don't see often. Once you continue to lose, you'll hear it from people you see more often. I'd say around the 35 lb. mark. :)

    The first time someone commented on it was about 30 pounds lost. When everyone started noticing, it was about 45 pounds lost.

    It's kind of funny though, because I've gained some of the weight back, but no one has really noticed. Not that I would expect people to comment on something of that nature, but sometimes I still get asked if I'm losing. I'm 5'9" and I was originally at 200 lbs. Now, I'm at about 168.

    I lost 30 lbs in over 8 months (ending in Sept). Not a word during the whole time. BUT when I gained back 4lbs since, it must've triggered some sort of alarm, because now somebody asks me at least once a week "Did you lose weight?" and the truth is yes, but it was a while ago, and I've gained some back.

    This might sound absurd, but 5lbs- the first place I gain/lose weight is in my face. Although, before I got pregnant with my firstborn, I had been rockin' the gym pretty hard, and i had only lost about 12lbs, but had toned up quite a bit (particularly my backside) and did get some compliments from an ex I had run into at the bar.

    It's not absurd at all. I was ONLY 3 DAYS into Weight Watchers, when somebody said I looked as if I'd lost weight.

    I hadn't even had my first weigh-in!

    I had a four lb loss that first week, but still. I was shocked.

    A few people noticed around 60lbs (but most didn't). It was universal once I hit 70lbs (at which point the people that didn't notice at 60lbs down all of a sudden thought I was sick because I lost so much so fast).

    about 15 Lbs for me...I started off at 5'10" and 206 and just weighed in today at 190. Pretty much this past week is the first I've been getting a lot of the, "wow...you're really losing weight." Feels pretty good. Funny thing, I actually like when people tell me that...my wife hates when people comment on her lost weight...she always things, "what...so you thought I was a big fat *kitten* before or something?" Some people just don't know how to take a compliment. :laugh:

    Around 20lbs. A lady at the gym I didn't even know came up to me and said, 'Girl, how much weight have you lost?! You look great!' I was so happy. If others are noticing, that means it really IS happening!

    Right where you are...25 pounds. And boy was I mad!! LOL. But honestly, the next 30+ really did make a much bigger difference.

    For me it was 5, although I don't have a lot lose and I think the first place I gain/lose weight is my face.
