How long did it take you..

jbrooke17 · March 2013

Hey everyone! I wanted to know - how long did it take you to notice that you were losing weight? Meaning looking in the mirror and noticing your weight loss?

OliveRiver · March 2013

I might not the best of help on this subject since even the smallest weight loss produces a noticeable change for me because I'm so close to my goal. But when I was at my heaviest, I steated noticing a physical change after about 15 lb had been shaven off.

Edited to fix a TON of typos.

Take pictures and measurements as your progress. I wish I had taken a few more, but I really noticed the change in pictures more than I did in the mirror. I think I started noticing the difference in how clothes fit around 10 pounds or so.

about 40 lbs for me - I still have a tough time with it to be honest

Probably not til about 15-20 pounds

Still waiting. Today my arms felt stringy-so I feel like I might look different (today is the first time I've "felt" anything other than morbidly obese-even though I haven't been for several months). But I really don't see any difference. I don't have any "before" pics-I really, really wish I did.

I took a lot of pictures and would notice it in some pictures and not so much in others at different times. For me to really notice, it took me til I lost about 20 lbs

Still waiting for that to happen.

At eight pounds if I do little hops I notice my stomach jiggling less. But the only other way I see it is in my face, it finally is looking more sculpted again instead of fleshy.

20 pounds

It isn't the mirror for me. Every so often I will notice how my body feels different. I don't know how else to explain it.

If I hadn't had to buy smaller clothes, I still probably wouldn't have noticed and I'm down 46 pounds. Hopefully my brain catches up soon so I can really see the changes in my body.

Probably at about 12 pounds

Speaking of, I am going to try on some old pants right now to see if they fit now!

The beginning of the 3rd week,,,,was 10 lbs. I could easily zip by jeans.

kimad · March 2013

For me I would say about 20 lbs or more.. I started at 245lbs.
But what I did realize is that when I would get new clothes I would drop more than 1 size at a time....I was wearing the size alot longer than I needed too I guess. I remember I started in 18's and went next to 14's. So although I realized my pants were getting big, I didn't know how big... so once in awhile try on your smaller pants

I wasn't REALLY big, but when the first ten came off, and I began to see my muscles peeking through my flab, that was when I really noticed. My husband did too, surprisingly, since he's the least observant person in the whole world. (Not even kidding. I have a running game of "see how long it takes Dan to notice" where I make a major change in the house and wait to see when he comments on it. Longest was two weeks, when I took down all the wallpaper on a wall in the kitchen. TWO WEEKS! Haha.) But that was when my shirts were looser, and my jeans fit better, and my confidence skyrocketed.

I noticed a few posters say, their brains haven't caught up yet so to speak... I suffer with this issue as well, it's really hard to grasp. So it's nice to hear others have this issue.

I started noticing after 15 pounds. I really started noticing it after I started a cardio/weight training program. Even during those times when I hit a plateau, I could see the change in terms of muscle definition and in how my clothes started fitting differently.
