How Long Before Someone Noticed Your Loss??

2 stone (28lb), more or less. Since that point, everyone seems to be noticing! I'm built like a tank, though, so losses are probably less obvious on me than on someone with a smaller frame.

I think my co-workers started to notice at about 15 pounds. My husband said he can't really tell (oh joy) where it's coming from but he knows I've lost weight. I think it shows mostly in my face. I'm down 28 pounds in 6 weeks so I can't complain. I don't care where it's showing from at this point...just that it's gone! LOL!

People started to notice after I had lost about 15 lbs. But I lose in my face and tummy and hips first so clothes got loose quickly. It depends on where you lose it.

My boyfriend has yet to notice or say anything. We live together -so I guess it's because he sees me every day... My mother says she's noticed (especialyl when the scale wasn't budging but my inches were shrinking)... the only person at work who has noticed is another weight battler...

People who haven't seen me in a month or so commented and complimented me on how skinny my legs have gotten and asked if i lost weight...

It took about 22 lbs for people to notice both me and my partner. She lost weight much slower than me and people noticed it on me first. Then as she reached the same 22 lbs people started to comment on her too.

Friends/family noticed after about 5 pounds, work colleagues after about 7 and boyfriend after about 8-9. Everyone mentions now :-)

I've lost around 32 lbs and someone at work just noticed, it was also my first day back from a 2 week vacation. She asked how much and I told her and she gave me a hug and said, wow, I didn't think you had that much to lose. I told her I'd like to lose 25-30 more She looked at me and said really, you look great now. She felt bad for not noticing sooner and I said, I must carry my weight really well.

My face takes a while to thin down and I'm still waiting to lose in my chest. I think that makes it harder to tell.

i lost like 6 pounds

I think people started noticing after about the first ten pounds but I am 65 and I think most people were afraid to say anything because they were thinking, "Oh no, what if she lost weight because she's sick? I'd better not say anything." If I bring up the subject of how much more I'm exercising, they will say, "You look fabulous--you obviously have lost weight! Are you dieting too?" I tell them that I would consider what I have done as more of a life-change. I eat different things now. What I used to eat (even though I was never a big eater) made me fat but what's worse, it made me sick. I was so sick and tired that I could barely move in the past. Now, I have lots of energy to keep up with my grandchildren. Whether people notice or not doesn't really matter.

Well not a soul right now.....but in the beginning stages of starting a new life style change. Not feeling too bad, but hoping that by talking to myself in the mirror will be enough for right now :bigsmile:

Sometimes I think people don't say anything because they fear offending you.

It is almost as if they say something they are indirectly saying you were fat before..but it would be nice to get that extra compliment. My co-worker is so excited for me she tells me every time she hasn't seen me for a few days. I can't tell when I look in the mirror at all but when I look at my monthly body shot updates I see the change. Doesn't matter, what matters is I am looking/feeling much better! Love my coach Robin, who helps us all out for FREE, thanks beach body!

I read somewhere that it takes about 4 weeks to notice it in yourself, 6 weeks for family and friends, and 12 for the rest of the world.
My fiance (who is also long-distance) says he's noticed a change in my attitude. That I seem happier.

I'm down 39 pounds and still waiting. lol I guess that's what happens when you start out at 333 pounds!

My husband in the last couple weeks has been noticing, though. He will point out little things that he's noticing, which is a great ego boost. I half believe him and half think he's just trying to be really supportive.

Family straight away, just mention you are on a fitness kick and they notice :O but certainly after the first month there was a huge difference (about 6kilo's worth) Work collegues and friends a couple of weeks for obvious weight loss to appear, they (work collegues) noticed that i'd completely changed my eating habits and i mentioned i was tested for high blood pressure immediately.

Didn't see any local friends til around the 3 month mark by which time my weight loss had slowed but the difference i looked almost half the person i was the last time they seen me. Yeah i know friends and not seeing doesn't seem to add up but i'm a solitary person for the most part and not a party animal plus we all work different work hours so it's almost impossible to keep intouch in person.

I lost 2 pounds and everyone noticed me at work and my hubby too. I'm losing inches more than scale, I used to have big tummy I guess that's why.
