    Does it count if i started at 253lb? I was at 260 a couple years ago though, but down to 220 atm, I don't notice it myself and I haven't ran into anybody that I know but In the pics I take every month i've started to see a difference in 2 months, it's really slight but it's definitely there, hope that helps :)

    They say it takes up to 12 weeks for others to notice. Keep up the good work!

    I found it kind of discouraging to be honest.....my starting weight was 259....and I was pretty close to 35 pounds down before anyone said anything. I felt it of course....which made me feel better.....but it was discouraging. Hoping the next 20 off will become more noticeable to others!

    Well I started at 258. I was 239 this morning and no one has noticed as of yet. I know I know...that is only 19 lbs, but it can be very discouraging when you feel like you are trying so hard and it is not even noticed.

    I started at 262 in December of 2011. Last week I wore an outfit to work, and someone who has no idea how much I work out or how hard I've been trying told me I looked really good! That's 64 pounds later!!!!

    I started at 256, it was about 4 months in when people at work started commenting, around 40-45 pounds.

    Hi All

    People are really just starting to make comments and noticing now.... That's at about 4 months and about 44 pounds later

    Sure feels good though!

    I got my first comments at -40 pounds at the end of April 2012. I began at 290 though.

    I started 253 and it took about 30 pounds before people started to notice. Now at 42 pounds more people are saying stuff to me about it. It's great!
