How much did you lose before people started noticing/comment

I found the same thing. The first people to actually say something were people I didn't see every day. I think it's hard for people that see you every day to see the changes. Heck, it's hard for me to see the changes since I look every day.

I'd say it was about 15 pounds or so though, for me.

I wish I could remember when, exactly, it was...but I do recall that it took a while before some were brave enough to say something. It's a touchy thing, especially in the workplace, to put yourself out there like that.
But, I would guess that it was close to 20lbs before folks actually said something.

It is different for everyone. Think about it, everyone looses weight in different places at first. This is not about everyone else its about you. So I know people noticing matters but its not about them.

Hang in there, people probably notice now, however some are reluctant to mention it as they don't want to seem rude for bringing up your weight (odd I guess if its noticing you've LOST, but then again, the logic is that noticing you've lost means they noticed you needed to in their mind!), some people hate to admit someone else has lost weight because they might be struggling with it, and some people just don't see it- not because it's not obvious but simply because they are focused on something else.

I have lost 7 pant sizes and over 100 pounds and some people don't notice- or maybe they do and don't comment. It used to bug me, but not so much now. I am not losing the weight for them but for me anyway.

Keep doing what you are doing, the people that count will eventually notice, and as you continue being healthy and achieving your goals, you will be so happy with yourself, it won't matter if they don't- YOU know you are doing great!

Great job on the 12 pound loss, that's awesome!!!

For me people have only noticed it in my face, and ive lost about 16 lbs so far even tho i can't see it

It depends. It will be harder for those who are around you all the time to notice and it will likely be someone who has not seen you during the process. Also, people are hesitant to mention anything because it implies that you needed to lose weight in the first place. Also, if you continue to wear the same clothes there is a possibility that no one can tell because your clothes are covering up the loss. I think I was twenty pounds down or something like that when someone noticed without knowing I was actively working to lose weight.

My suggestion? Get a new shirt/pants to celebrate your success thus far and enjoy noticing the difference yourself!!!

when i lost 40lbs people started noticing, and then at 60lbs lost everyone was congradulating me all the time and saying they didnt recognize me, i never noticed a diffirence myself until 60lbs, i couldnt wear anything i owned before and was out of plus size clothing.

I have lost 32 so far and no one has said anything unless they knew I was doing this (pity comments I think). BUT my mom made a good point the other day... she said that when you're bigger, sometimes people don't want to embarrass you or themselves by asking if you've lost weight, just in case you really haven't or something.

I have also heard that people won't notice til you've lost 10% of your starting weight. So if you're 250 pounds, they might start noticing after you've lost 25 pounds, and so on. But... everyone is different!

I've lost 30 pounds now and most people ask, and then say they can tell in my face (which I always thought was slim compared to the rest of me!!). I'm not worried because I can see where I've lost and I'm fitting into clothes I haven't worn in over four years.

I've lost 30 pounds, and it seems like the only people that have noticed are people that don't see me often. The people that I work with would never know unless I have told them, and then they're like "oh yeah, you have haven't you".... But I think that you should feel great about how much weight you've lost even if nobody has noticed, because if they see you frequently it is hard to notice when somebody is gradually changing. Good luck on your weight loss journey

Good point. I did have one person comment when I had just been on the program for a few weeks but had only actually lost 2 lbs via scale. I am pretty small and now it's been 4 lbs and no one else has said anything. Then again no one said anything when I gained 20 lbs in 3 months

At about15 lbs or so is when someone first said something to me. It was a co-worker. Today a different co-worker asked me how much I've lost, he said he can tell! Woot wooT!

People probably notice, they just don't say anything. It depends on how close you are with the people around you. I feel comfortable saying that to most people I work with.

And like someone else said, if you aren't wearing clothes that "show off" your weight loss, people may not notice.

Well I'd like to gladly say I've been proven wrong. My coworker just mentioned how she sees that I'm shrinking and that she really noticed it last Friday. Woot woot!
