How many pounds did you lose before you started noticing a change in your body? I'm at 10.. still no change. Measurements haven't even changed.

I have lost 32 and I still don't see it. I went from 217 at my highest to 184 right now and I don't feel any different. My stomach is still huge. I did lose 2 cup sizes and maybe 1 pant size but thats it. It is so frustrating.0

Well so far I've lost 15 pounds and even if I don't see any difference in the mirror, I do FEEL the difference in my clothes. They're way loose than they used to be. I also did take a picture when I started to workout and I'm going to take a picture every 30 days (It's part of the workout program i'm doing) so maybe it'll help me see a difference too

I lost 11 pounds before I started using myfitness pal about a week and a bit ago. Since then I have lost only three pounds but those three pounds I notice now. I didn't notice the first 11 but now that I'm at 14 I am starting to see, and my boyfriend is starting to see that I look more toned and thinner. I also go to the gym and do cardio almost every day so that might also be a contributing factor.0

I've lost 20 so far, and I still don't notice much at all. Maybe a little in my face, but not much elsewhere.0

Honestly, 35 lbs before I could see it -- thinner fingers, collarbones more defined -- didn't drop a single size until I lost 40 lbs... then it was super quick after that. But maybe I'm just weird. I had a lot to lose, maybe that's why.0

4lbs so far. I can see my collarbones coming out and could feel a difference when my boyfriend was cuddling me last night.0

This one is so subjective to each person's body. WW once told me that 10 pounds is the equivlent to a dress size. I don't know what dress size they are thinking about but for my body (I am really dense), I have to lose close to 20 before I see a clothing size change. In the past (not there yet this LAST time around), I had lost between 15 - 20 before others started to see a difference. Don't give up because one day all of a sudden, everyone will start commenting on it.0

20 lbs before I noticed0

I usually notice with every 20lbs I lose. I can't really tell at the 10lb mark...but 20 is noticeable.0
-
I started noticing slight changes in the mirror and how my clothes fit at about 18-20 lbs. Although I still have days where I feel exactly the same as when I started.0
-
I have a long way to go, (120 LBS. ish) But I have lost 18 so far and at 15 I noticed my 2XL capris that use to be tight, are loose, and my 1XL I can now shake and skimmy into...but I CAN'T BREATH !!! LOL0
-
It seems that for the most part, 20 pounds is the number. Thanks! I look forward to reaching that.0
-
I didn't notice until I compared my Day 1 and Day 30 photos. THEN I saw the difference. It's hard to tell when you see your body each day and the changes are so slow. I still have a long way to go, but taking pictures once a month helps you see the difference better than just looking in the mirror.0

im at 31 pounds lost. i did notice my clothes start to feel lose around 20. i see it in my face. i have lost a lot of inches in my legs. but i have been doing a TON of cardio.0

I find it extremely difficult to notice changes in myself. Other people started noticing the changes when I lost around 10 pounds. Then I started looking in the mirror to see what they were talking about. I sort of noticed that my arms were thinner. That's about it. Now at 25 pounds lighter, I think that my stomach does look thinner than before, but still it's not as extreme to me as other people make it out to be. My pants size did drop though, but I don't count that as my noticing because I still don't exactly see the difference.
My mom said that I lost a lot of weight in my *kitten*. Maybe that's why I don't notce it on myself since my *kitten* is behind me.0 -
It depends on how big you are to start with too. I was 259 and it took me 40lbs to see a difference but when i was 170 every 10lbs you could tell a major difference.0

I think it's really hard to see changes on your own body. Because you see yourself everyday, it's hard to remember what you used to look like. I weighed 248 lbs at my highest, and I only just noticed a change in myself (at 40 pounds down). I'd looked back at a picture of me at my heaviest and I was actually blown away at the difference. At around 30 lbs down, I got compliments from a few people about how much I'd lost, but I just couldn't see any difference in myself until a couple weeks ago. I just recommend constantly taking pictures of your progress and look back at old photos. It's a big confidence booster Awesome job losing 10 lbs btw! :drinker: 0

After 10 lbs or so the belt came in a notch, and I was sure I had less in the chin area. Could just be wishful thinking but I'll take it nonetheless. Scale is not lying for me!!0

ive lost about 55 pounds, and i did not really notice a change until about 30 pounds lost. others started noticing after i lost about 20 pounds, but it took me 30 pounds to really see a difference.0
-
I started here at 232 and honestly I didn't really start to notice big differences until I'd lost over 40 and maybe closer to 50 pounds. But then when I did reach that point suddenly I was noticing new changes every few weeks. And now even a two pound loss makes a difference.
So anyone starting out really obese like I did, hang in there, once you do start to see changes you'll see lots of them and fast!0 -
I was actually just talking about this to my husband. I have lost 17 lbs. since this time last year and I don't really see a difference in my body. My face looks a little thinner but I still wear the same size. It is definitely different for each person. So don't worry! Maybe in 3 more lbs. you will suddenly start to see it!0
-
I started to notice after about 50 pounds. Everyone else started to notice around 25 pounds.0

I have lost 53lbs and the only place that I can tell a difference is in my face. I take monthly pics (face, front full body and side full body)...if I look at the 1st full body pic and the current body pic I can see a difference, but I still can't tell a difference when I look in the mirror.
Good luck in your journey!0 -

Love. It! I'm going to start checking my mirror to see if that's where it's disappearing from!! 0 -

thats funny, cause this last 10 pounds that i lost in january was straight from my butt. my mom said i had to take a picture and put it side by side with my jan 1 butt picture and see the difference for myself. i did, and to my surprise, the entire 10 pounds came from my butt!!! my side by side butt pic is in my profile, its fully clothed!!! lol0 -
I have lost 19 lbs and I cant really see a difference but i put on one of my favorite shirts yesterday and it fits so much better then before. I was so happy.0

I lost 26 pounds (from 210 to 183) and still I don't get reactions like `Wow, you lost weight!`
I asked my family if it shows and they said it kinds shows, if they look closely. It's my case too. I know that I have lost from here and there, that I am smaller in `volume` and weight too... but I can't say it shows.
But it might be that people don't say it because they try to be polite.0 -
I lost 9 pounds so far and all I can say is I have more energy from exercise, my belt is 1 notch tighter, and my bras fit lol... it's the little things (I have a goal of losing about 60 lbs) 0
-
About 50lbs, over a six year span. It was only last night that I realized I don't look the same anymore.0
-
I agree, thinking that 20 is kinda the typical number. My customers made comments about my face looked thinner, for me I noticed less dimples in my thighs. Now if I could just do something about the "soft leftovers" on my belly area :-(0
