    I'm 5'10". People who hadn't seen me anywhere from a couple of months to a couple of years were really wowed after I went from 205 to 170. It's been slow, but I'm still on my way :)

    I am 5 feet and started April 10th and have lost just a few oz under 30 pounds so far. Just this week several people ( like 4 ) have commented. Three of the four wanted to know if I was healthy......hmm. I had not expected anyone to say something, because it's not done in this culture, plus.....I still have a ways to go.

    Edit: I just checked and 14 kilos are actually 30.86 pounds.....:o).

    50 lbs for me. Six months without a word from my coworkers, but the day I walked in with new clothes, everyone asked me about it. It's almost impossible for people to tell when you're still wearing the same clothes. I knew that I was losing, but was frustrated that no one outside of family that knew i was trying noticed. What a difference a new outfit makes!

    I'm 5'1 and people started around the 20 lb mark or so. But friends and family who I might not have seen for a short while noticed right away.

    I think around 10 lbs my friend told me that it looked like I lost weight even though I couldn't notice a change myself.

    I'm 5'5 and I've lost a hair under 30 lbs and very few people have commented. I think that people are being polite and that I probably carried my extra weight well. I'm happy with myself and my progress. This is silly, but I just bought a new outfit at Macy's, a pair of size 10 capris and a medium blouse. It felt so good, and I looked great in it. Nobody can see the size on my label but me, so I'm just smiling an extra lot these days. Weight loss is really personal and I feel like I'm surrounded by courteous people.

    Actually, nobody has noticed yet with me. My clothes still all fit fine, probably exactly the same as they did before. The only person who has noticed has been my best friend who has seen a photo of my face looking a little slimmer.

    I've lost 112lbs so far. I'm actually a little disheartened! Please, people - see how hard I'm working!

    I reckon I will probably have to be over the 200lbs lost mark before people notice. The more you have to lose, the more people just look at you and see "big" or "fat" or "shapeless", and the longer it takes to shake that off I suppose. :)

    Nobody has said anything to me either. Too much to lose. Oh well, I can feel more energy, which is what really counts.
