    I am down about 15 lbs (which was 11% of my SW) and people are noticing a lot more lately.

    I had lost about 4kg (8lbs) and 6-7.5cm (2.36-2.95 inches) off hips/waist/chest each when one of my sisters noticed. Other family members + my granny have known about my weight-loss journey since the day 1, but it wasn't until a week or so ago when pretty much everyone started to say something about me losing weight. That's like six months and 20kg (44lbs) from the day I started exercising and eating better...

    I don't even know how much I weighed, when I started changing my eating habits. I know I have gone down a pants size though. The only reason I know I have lost weight since signing up here is because of doctors visits so if it wasn't for that I would be under the impression things aren't happening much weight wise. But, my shirts are even starting to get a little loose. I don't think anyone will notice til I hit around the 50lb mark. I doubt they will say anything though. Which is fine by me cuz I got lots and lots of lbs to go even after that.

    Coworkers started mentioning that I looked thinner at 8 pounds down.

    My fiance stated I looked thinner at about 10 pounds down.

    I am still not seeing any difference!

    Can't really answer. I decided to start losing weight when I moved to a new state. No one here knew me other than my husband. And I can't really remember a time that he mentioned anything in regards to noticing a difference. [He was supportive and if it wasn't for him pushing me, I wouldn't be where I am.] However it took me about 30lbs to notice it on myself.

    Nobody said ANYTHING to me until 2 weeks ago. None of my family, none of my friends. Then I went to the dentist, who I have probably seen only two times in my life before this visit, and the first thing she said to me was "You've lost weight!" I was shocked.

    Mom mentioned something when I was 30lbs down but I was losing weight with her. No one else noticed. Gained 10lbs back though. Just gotta start working real hard again.

    Around 10-15lbs... And now that I'm down to 21 (so far) I've heard comments at both workplaces, school and with the family. I must say, it does definitely make me happy to hear that!

    I read once that when you start and stick to a new healthier lifestyle it takes 2 weeks for you to notice a difference, 2 MORE weeks for friends and family to notice a difference, and 2 MORE weeks (6 total weeks) for the rest of the world to notice. It really made me think and was motivation to stick to it for me. Good Luck!!

    My mother noticed at 14 pounds. The rest of the world saw it at 16 pounds. My husband is oblivious, and just insists that he never noticed that I'd ever gained anything, lol.

    I haven't had anyone comment unless I mention it first - then they're like "Oh, yeah! I can totally tell!". :/ Maybe another 10 lbs or so will do it.
