How many pound did you lose before you noticed?

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!

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!

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.

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

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!!! lol

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.

About 50lbs, over a six year span. It was only last night that I realized I don't look the same anymore.

It was about 25 pounds or so when I started to really notice. Two years ago I started at 240 and I went down to 175 then I got pregnant. I was getting frustrated because I thought after 10 pounds I should see some kind of difference but I didn't. At about the 25 pound mark I started to notice, that is when people slowly started to notice to. By the 40 pound mark everyone that knew me was commenting and I could really tell a difference in the mirror and my clothes. Hang in there!

The theory is that you don't notice it on yourself cause you look at yourself every day. For other people to notice it takes around a stone and a half (21lbs).
Supposedly it is 10lbs to drop a dress size but I think this is difficult because dress sizes vary so much and if you are judging it on clothes you already own then if you are anything like me then my clothes just go from very tight, to less tight, to fits properly, to loose before I need to change dress size - and that process usually takes more than 10lbs.

I have noticed in the past that suddenly 1 day everyone starts noticing it. I had 1 day in the office last week where everyone just kept saying 'oh have you lost weight' Great motivator. I had a dress on that I hadnt worn before so I attributed it to that more than anything that had suddenly 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.

I know I'm in the minority, but what I wouldn't give to lose a few cup sizes!!

I've never been pregnant.
