How many pound did you lose before you noticed?

I think it took about 20-30 pounds for people to start noticing. I could see small changes, but I started to get the comments about then. I think it was the combination of getting new (more form-fitting) clothes, my higher confidence, plus the weight loss that began to get the attention.
What I really wanted to say is this (and whose saying it is, I don't know): "It takes 4 weeks for you to see your body changing, 8 weeks for friends and family, and 12 weeks for the rest of the world. KEEP GOING."

I've only lost 15lbs. My belt has come in a notch and my clothes fit better. My mom says she can see it in my face but I can't really tell. I do feel so much better though. I can't wait for more visible results. Good luck!!0

Last year, I lost about 35 lbs and didn't notice a thing. I was wearing the same clothes as I was in the beginning. Now that I have gained most of it back, I still don't notice it. IDK what gives.0

I am taller and tend to gain and lose weight fairly evenly on my body. I may notice the way clothes fit after 10-15 pounds, but it takes about 20-25 pounds for someone else to really notice it or for me to see it in pictures. Just keep in mind that you may not always see the person you want to be on the outside, but you have taken extremely important steps to be healthier on the inside, and others do not have to know or see that. But you will know that you are making changes, whether visible or not, to improve your overall health. What's more satisfying than being in control of your own health?
great point!0 -
I had to take comparison pictures to notice any change. Looking at yourself in the mirror you may not see it. But pictures won't lie.0

Lol thats funny, my mom said the same thing about my butt... only lost 5 lbs since I started logging with my fitness pal but I was hitting the gym a couple days a week for the past few months and I guess my butt has shrunk ( or gained muscle is more likely lol )0

I noticed when I was walking at work (thru a store) and my jeans attempted to go south taking my underwear with them...0

I noticed my clothes were a little big at about 20lbs but it did not help that I was wearing a size too small to start with. No one else noticed until I was around 50lbs down... My mom didn't even notice then (in pics). One day around 70-80lbs people started noticing. Fortunately I was set on my ultimate goal so I didn't care if they didn't see it.0

I have lost 17 lbs but i haven't notice anything measure maybe a little difference in my pants . I am 5'11 so I guess it probably will take about 30 lbs to see a difference.0

I noticed about 13 pounds and it was primarily how my clothing fit. I was able to button the bottom button of my coat and I went down a size in my jeans.0

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.
