If you had/have a 100lbs to lose, when did people noticed?

I have just hit the 30 pound mark and for the first time 2 people commented on my weight loss. You are almost there!

I started out around 300 pounds or a little over last September, & I think a lot of people (mostly co-workers & customers) noticed when I got to around 250-260. The funny thing is family members barely said anything even though I had lost fifty to sixty pounds at the time. I had only one mention my weight loss at Christmas. I'm now 189 & usually have comments everyday.

I am 5 2" so I am pretty short. I've lost a little more than 30lbs and when I first lost 15lbs - 20lbs people at work noticed. My second chin was gone and i did look better overall. However my husband started to tell me he noticed when I've lost 30lbs. I am just a few pounds away at being at my healthy weight. Some people will notice, some wont, but you will know, so keep doing it!.

This is a good Question I'm 5'3 and was 355, lost 52 but on but my husband and close family noticed. Is there anyone who can tell me if they will notice before I hit 250. I can tell but not by appearance just the scale and clothes.

We went to a family reunion and everyone complemented my husband on losing weight and looking good, and my brother was a big guy almost 400 and is 328 now and they noticed but no one has said anything about me.

Each time I attempt to lose weight, people start to notice at the 20 pound mark (I'm 5'10" and my heaviest was 260, recent lightest 214, current 224, goal 170). But I also wear more fitted clothes (always have, yoga pants, etc since I work with high school athletes). I lose a lot of "weight" in my face first...so I think that makes a big difference. People look at your face and that's what has always changed the fastest for me.

I've wondered if its that people haven't noticed, or just haven't wanted to say anything yet. They might be wondering to themselves either "hmm, I wonder if so-and-so has lost weight...?" or "should I say anything, some people are a little sensitive and I don't know if so-and-so is one of those people..."?

A lot of the time, it's this. Unless someone talks about their weight loss goals with me, or clearly has excitedly purchased new fitted clothing, I don't say anything. I don't want to insult anybody, or make them feel like I've been judging them based on their body fat percentage... And partly because I've always thought "You look great, have you been losing weight?" is such an odd compliment. People used to say that to me sometimes when I had (1) never been overwieght, and (2) had been the same (healthy) weight for years... I don't want to sound like those weirdos! But one time one of my co-workers showed up in this office in this STUNNING blue pencil skirt that she bought after losing like 20 pounds, and all of us ladies were like "Damn, look at you!"

STarted out at 230lb and have lost 35lb so far. Noone has really said anything unless i tell them i have lost it. Even people who i dont see very often. I carry most of my weight in my body. So my limbs dont change much. But yeah I expected someone to notice by now. What's a lil disheartening.. is I can't see any change either.

I had a lot of customers tell me they were afraid to ask in case I had gotten sick.

That might be a genuine worry for some. My work colleague so far is the only one to have noticed I've lost weight, but she knew I was trying to get more exercise. She told me last week that my boss had asked her if I was unwell or if he should be worried that I'm stressed over something. She reassured him, but as of yet he's said nothing to me.

I think in a number of cases people probably have noticed but don't say anything just in case you are ill, have worries or might be offended.
