How many pounds was it before...

Lol smushy haha well I'm loosing weight lost a stone in last month or just over a month and my top half has stayed big I'm broad shoulders arms and chest and back so having to where baggy tops and people keep asking if iv put on weight not a good thing

To be honest, I didn't notice a change (and neither did anyone else) until I'd passed the 30lb loss mark, and even then it's rare. I get comments from my family as I only see them about once a month, but people I see on a daily basis don't notice any difference, until they see pictures of the old me.

Personally I noticed far more of a difference in my well being, mood and health than I did in my appearance. I sleep better, I'm far more energetic, I don't get out of breath any more just by walking up the stairs, I haven't had a cold in nearly a year, my blood pressure is now in the healthy range according to my doctor. And things like that are more important.

I have a lot to lose though (another 60+ lb, ideally), and I'm tall (5"10), so the major changes are going to happen later. You will notice a difference eventually, you just need to keep at it. And take pictures! It can be quite mind blowing to look back on yourself.

it takes a while, don't give up.

I think it was about 10 lbs when i felt my pants were looser. it was about 15 lbs when i fit into a smaller size.

People mentioned to me only yesterday that i look better - i think it also depends on what you wear. i have unfortunately been wearing my old clothing for the most part, and my tops are all baggy/big so i think it's hard to notice. and since i am quite obese, it's hard to notice anyway. *I* can see a difference, there are specific zones where i know that i am less - top of de boobs, back, tush, above the belly. belly is still not budging but that's ok. i know it will.

I didn't see much of a fat change 'till after 15-20 lbs. Except when I strength train. It take a matter of weeks until I see an appreciable difference. I'm 5 7 1/2. Others noticed I looked stronger and thinner when I had lost about 25-30 lbs. I started out big after I had my daughter (I was 240 before that) @ 266. After a hiatus in which I gained 20 of the 40 lbs back (more fat this time) I find that I notice my legs toning up but not much else. I also do not train as hard as I did or nearly as frequently as last time. It took me 2 years to loose the weight I did. I figured out what was keeping me from loosing the weight and now I do light strength training and easy recumbent biking. I eat clean (organic, no msg or aspartame) and shoot for 1500-1700 cal. a day. (I can go to extremes either way on occasion) But I've lost 11 lbs in a couple of months, so I'll stick with it. It can only get better. If you put the work in, you really haven't much to worry about. You will notice the changes before others and soon after they will see it too.
So to better answer your questions;
1. Clothes- when I started loosing inches. About 10 lbs or so per inch lost.
2. Body- 3-4 weeks into strength training. (whole body course,20 mins 3-4 days a week)
3.Other People- At about 25-30 lbs lost
4.Height- 5ft 7 1/2

I can't remember when i started noticing the clothes change - a while ago. I am getting tons f comments now about my weight - after about 27lb lost - but at first I wasn't really taking it seriously so it was slow progress - now I have stepped it up and people are noticing!

Have had a total loss of 26lbs and dropped nearly 2 dress sizes but nobody has noticed yet :sad:
Hubby says he sees a big difference and he sees me everyday but people I haven't seen for a while have not said a thing!
I can now fit into a few of my size 14 (uk) clothes and have thrown out my size 18 stuff.

Am hoping someone says something soon!
