How long until you noticed serious visible progress in the mirror?

I'm at this (for the 2nd time!) since 1st Jan and can already see some changes. But I'm greedy and impatient and I want more!!!! How long did it take you?

    I don't go by looking in the mirror, I go by how I feel in my clothes, alot of my tops are a bit baggy for me now because they are stretched and my jeans are a bit baggy around the waist.

    I didn't "see" it. I noticed all of a sudden, my pants kept falling off. I had to get some new pants at 40 pounds. Other people started noticing right around then as well.

    For me, it was somewhere around 25lbs lost. I caught my reflection in a window while walking into a store and had to do a double take.

    I am hoping to see it soon. My clothes are looser and I have gone down a pants size, so ignoring the scale I know I am smaller, but other than a maybe slightly smaller stomach I can't see it at all.

    I think it was around 20-25lbs when I first noticed. I didn't "see" it but felt it when I stepped on the scale. All of the sudden I noticed that I didn't have to push my thighs together when I stepped on my scale :laugh:

    Starting at 135kg (197lb) so for me I started feeling good about the loss & baggy clothes around 10kg (22lb) but I didn't really get it until saw a photo in someone else's facebook of me in a group photo (15kg 33lb down) I had to zoom in and look at the face in to be sure it was me as I was standing side on and my silhouette had changed . kinda of a wow moment for me.

    I'm a i want it now girl but that's probably why I had such a problem in the first place :happy:

    All the little mile stones can seem small but keep at it, they soon add up

    I think it's really cool that so many of us in this thread said between 20-25 lb is when we started to notice a difference!! Wow.

    I am just starting to notice looking different at a loss of 9 pounds. I am short, so this amounts to 2 sizes on me.

    I lose 1 size for every 5 lbs, mas o menos.

    I know that I start to look really different about 4 lbs lower than I am now. I have been there before and it's a huge difference. When my boobs start to evaporate, then I know I'm really looking different. That's when my friends usually comment.
