When Did You Begin To Notice?

I can see it on a weekly basis with every pound I lose.
I think this is for 2 reasons:
1. I'm short (5 ft)
2. I am quite muscular so since I'm more defined it's easier to see my abs and my collarbone coming through.

6 weeks in for me with a loss of 15 pounds and 14 inches over all (I have a thread with pics going in success stories FYI if you are curious).

Now my SO has noticed I'm tightening up but he doesn't think I look much different. My BFF hasn't said anything. HOWEVER, it is winter so i'm still in long sleeves and sweatshirts here so I'm not expecting many comments till my clothes get changed with the seasons.

I noticed, physically around 10 or so when my favorite jeans ( a washed and dried and snug) size 20 where lose and my Old Navy Skinny Diva Jeans size 18 are kinda saggy. Now at 15 my favorite jeans (the size 20) ones fall off and I can get them one and off very easily without undoing the zipper and buttons. I also notice my arms. I have this "fat line" on my arm that was really noticeable and now it's nearly gone. I'm hoping that within the next 15 pounds it will be gone completely. Also, I have a shirt that I bought that never fit in the arms, it was just way to tight as it's got zero give. When I first got it I couldn't put my arms down, now I can get it on and curl my arm all the way up but it still doesn't fit right.... That's my arm goal shirt cuz it's so cute lol!!

I think I could see a difference at 15. Other people started commenting at about 30, and by 50 everybody else noticed.

I feel like the first two need to be switched - at least for me. My family and friends definitely saw the difference in my face and waist within 4-5 weeks but I couldn't see it. I FINALLY can look in the mirror at week 8 and see the changes in my body.

I've only lost 8 pounds so far, but my coworker has said she noticed me losing. I've also lost 3 inches around my waist and have noticed myself that my waist getting smaller (I feel lucky that it tends to disappear in this area first).

when I started having bishes jealous of me....

I'm about the same as everybody else.....20ish lbs I could tell and 30-40 I started getting more comments. At 50 lbs down even the blind ones notice...these days at 90lbs down when I see someone I haven't in a while their eyes bug out of their heads.

When I went from my "usual" 260s up to 307 lb no one said anything (which to me is GOOD, I would have just been more upset if they had) and then it took me a couple of YEARS to get back down to 270 and no one said anything. That was hard for me because I did lose 37 lb from mostly walking EVERY night miles and miles...I worked much harder IMO to lose that weight than the other 70+ lb I have lost since then and NOT A WORD. I felt drastically different going from 307 to 270. Way better. Now I've gone from 262 to 194 in under a year and I don't feel all that different really but I DO see that I look much smaller and that's worth it to me (along with fewer health risks)

As for my current losses (from 262 to 194)...my mom and husband (then boyfriend) noticed after just 10-15 lb. Most of my girlfriends, my stepsister, and my next-door neighbor all commented on what they viewed as a "huge change" at 20-25 lb. Then around 40 lb my dad, stepmom, and lots of acquaintances (like former coworkers and classmates) started to comment.

I honestly don't feel I totally saw the change until 2 events...one was trying on the dress I wore for my wedding (blue cocktail gown) when I had lost 44 lb and looking in the mirror I was shocked to see that in the dress I had a totally flat back and my bum was different than before (a positive change). And the more recent event was about a week ago, at 66 lb lost on MFP, I was looking at photos from my 10 yr high school reunion back in 2005 when I felt like I looked great at about 265 lb, and I said to my husband "I don't look that different" and he said, "No you look totally different, much thinner too" and I got up and walked into the other room where there's a full length mirror and in that moment I totally SAW IT...I usually don't. It was freaky! But cool!

I have watches my weight and completed p90x for three weeks. No one has noticed yet, but when they do it will make my day!:drinker:

I have been at it for 2 months now and as of today I am down 22 pounds.

People have commented at around the 15 pound mark. I have always lifted weights I just never paid attention to my diet, since I have been on MFP I have not really been exercising except for skiing. My pants are all super lose, my layer of chub is pretty much dissipated and I am left with a nice base of muscle underneath due to lifting weights in the past.

20 more pounds and I will be ideal.. hopefully she is gone by early spring so I can walk around naked everywhere with no shame.
