    5'6 and after 10 lbs of weight loss I was wearing more figure hugging clothes so friends and family could tell there was a difference.

    My tummy didn't look 5 months pregnant anymore!

    I carried my excess weight in the tummy area...

    I'm 5' 9" and I got some comments around the 20 lb mark, mostly from people who knew I was working on losing weight, and around 30 lbs down, everyone started commenting.

    My mother always notices weight loss before it actually happens. XD

    initially: about 7-8 pounds, but I didn't have much to lose. It was about 15 pounds though before people really started noticing.

    40 lbs. I guess where I was so big, it took awhile for people to actually notice. Started at almost 300 lbs.

    Not many people have mentioned it to me, but this weekend I went to a friend's house for dinner. She opened the door and said, "You look skinny!" It definitely felt awesome. :flowerforyou:

    I've lost about 8 pounds of my 30-pound goal.

    I'm 5'8".

    I went from my all-time HW of 307 to 272 without ANYONE commenting. Not one person. Granted, I was very big and it was a slow loss, but 35 lb is a considerable amount even at that size.

    Went from 272 to 262 and my mom commented.

    Then I joined MFP and once I'd lost about 20 lb (240-ish) EVERYONE seemed to notice all of a sudden. It felt more like I'd gone from 307 to 240 overnight or something because everyone was commenting on the "drastic loss".

    Now at 208. People who have not seen me in awhile comment, but those who only see me in photos never mention it. I'm pretty sure it's because I still have the same overall look and also because I was so guarded with non-flattering and/or full body pics. So a lot of my old friends or acquaintances wouldn't realize how big I was before, and my internet friends probably only saw face pics - even the ones I have known for years.

    It took me about 15-20 pounds and I'm 5'10". Though a lot of people didn't even think I was the weight I was because I hold my weight well.

    I'm 5'6" and had 100 pounds to lose. A nosy neighbor noticed at around 20 lbs and another friend made a comment at 30 lbs. That's it for out of the blue comments, but some people just know that I'm exercising/dieting and don't feel the need to comment.
