When Did You Begin To Notice?

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.

Im 7.3kgs (16lbs) down and i cant notice, my husband hasnt noticed but my mother did comment yesterday 'youve lost weight, i can tell in your waist'.
Frustrating that i cant see it yet.

I'm very small, so it only took about 5-10 pounds for myself to start seeing changes, and about 15 pounds for people to make comments like "woah! you look great!"

I see it in the fit of my clothes, more than in the mirror. (I think the mirror and depression went to the same school. They both obviously lie.) I'd say I was a couple months in when one of my co-workers commented. By then I'd lost 20+ I guess. The day I could put my vibram (Five Finger Classic) shoes on without my toes getting uncomfortably squished, was awesome. (Discovering that they were not as comfortable as they used to be, before the bones in my foot were re-fused, less than awesome. )

I am waiting for the day when I look in the mirror and actually *see* the person I am becoming, instead of the person I was.

when I noticed things that I missed...

"Whoa! when did I get THAT pierced?"

"I didn't know we had carpet"

etc

haha, I love this.

My guy mentioned my face was looking thinner a couple weeks in, and I guess I can kind of see it being a little less puffy. My body image is seriously distorted, so I'm sure it'll take me a while...

this

I had 100 Pounds to lose, and what I learnt, it's take a quarter of that to starting noticing the loss yourself, and half of that for other people to start noticing, so you need a lot of patience.

I feel like I notice weird suff too due to my weight loss. When did the shape of my lower body change? When did I get a collarbone, and ribs? When did all restaurants install these super huge booths and when did they start making such big office chairs?

;-)

I'm looking forward to taking a long haul flight in May and feeling like they've widened the seats!

I noticed when my clothes started to feel looser.

My best friend came down for a hen's party and then the wedding in October/December last year. Both times she commented on my weight loss.

Since the beginning of the year EVERYONE has been commenting about my weight loss.

I think I am also able to physically see the difference now, rolls of fat are beginning to disappear.

My co workers noticed it first, I didn't think much of it at the time it hit me recently when I got invited to a formal party and all of my dress clothes were too big now I notice because I have to update my wardrobe more and more

For me, I didn't really notice it visually looking in the mirror, because I still honed in on "problem areas" but in a year, I dropped two pant sizes, and two shirt sizes. The weight hasn't really fluctuated too much, so I think psychologically I am looking to that number. But the decrease in clothes size is a win for me
