    I am short, 5' 0". I know people started noticing about 30 pounds but didn't say anthing except for teasing me about needing smaller jeans, these were good friends. Most friends started openly asking me if I had lost weight about 50 pounds and now at 90 pounds they they comment on how good I look with a warning not to get to thin.

    Remember that people who are around everyday don't see the changed as quickly as those who don't see you as often because the changes are gradual and they see their friend not the weight so it takes time before the changes register with them.

    Great question! I'm also tall--5-10--and people haven't started commenting until recently. I'm down about 30 lbs. That seems to be the universal number around here. :-)

    I'm also tall, and I don't show weight gain/loss in my face. No one has ever noticed when I lost weight (24 pounds). Of course, they didn't know I was pregnant through an entire pregnancy, either - so I guess I can't complain too much. :tongue:

    Last time I lost weigt, they started noticing it after 15 lbs.

    Unfortunately I gained them all back, but now I am back on my mission!

    Around 7-8 pounds people started noticing a difference in me. I still have a long way to go!

    I have seen two zones.

    Initially noone really noticed from 220 down until about 185. Then noone noticed any more weightloss until I was under 170. Once I am under 170 the only way you can really tell is when I take my shirt off. Trying to drop back down to my lowest of 165 (maybe a little lower) I jumped up a bit, but have never let myself go back over about 175.

    7-10lb for me, but then I'm only just over 5' tall so I think a small amount of weight looks more on me. I'd say the amount of weight it takes you to lose to go down a dress size is normal for people to notice. So less if you're petite and more if your taller. A friend of mine is 5'10 and she can loose 15-18lb before dropping a size, whilst I can on 8lb.

    I've lost 39 pounds and no one has said anything yet. Well, my husband, but of course he would notice *wink*. I'm very short about about 12 pounds from my goal...so maybe I hide it well?

    I am 20lbs down and still waiting

    Hey you! You look like you've slimmed down a bit! Congrats.

    I was about 25 lbs down when I got it unsolicited.

    I'm the OP, but I thought I'd comment anyway. I've lost 20lbs and those close to me can tell, and I can definitely tell when I'm naked. I've also dropped a size in jeans. I've had two or three comments here and there, but those were mostly in the beginning. I think I have 10-15 more to lose before people will really be able to tell.

    30LBS for me.

    30 lbs was when people have really stopped me at work to sat but anything from 20lbs really.

    Best feeling!
