    I didn't say a word to anyone and patiently waited till someone said something, happened for the first time at -22 lbs for me. :) Next comment I got was at -30 lbs and now at -44lbs everyone notices. :) Good luck!

    Mine has to be 15-20. Here at work people were either complimenting me or crucifying me............ I really struggled for quite awhile with it. But I'm back on track now. You can't make me feel guilty for getting healthier.

    Fifty. Pounds.

    I noticed right away, though, and that's all that really matters :)

    I think between 10-15 to me but i am very open about my weight loss journey here at work and I think they do it to motivate me. as for people in my family i have not gotten a compliment yet except i look happy (happy is not thinner but i will take it)

    For me a lot of people I work with knew I was trying to lose weight, and the comments started about 15 lbs down, weather they really could tell or not. But now I am 61 lbs down and every day I get a comment from one or another of my co workers... its so nice to have my hard work paying off.

    30 lbs- people at the gym started coming up to me saying I looked great, and when I told them I had twins two months prior to that their mouths droppeddddd.... I'm still wearing my stretchy pants and big shirts I was wearing when I was 200lbs... they were tight then but super loose now. I plan to really wow people at the gym when I walk into the gym with tight spandex pants & muscles.... BAM! 15 more lbs =)

    Oddly, when I was at 255, nobody said anything. At about the 220 mark, people started calling me fat. Don't ask me what happened.

    Glad it is working well for everyone else!

    not many people comment, but i got my first comment at 15 pounds. idk...the was awhile ago and it's hard to judge changes in your body based on a number. i'm a lot slimmer than my weight loss gives me credit for.

    My kids and Hubby noticed at about 10 - 15 lbs they knew I was doing this but I think they were just as surprised as I was with the reshaping..

    At work the changed happened when I finally bought skinny jeans at about 25lbs -- NO MORE MOM JEANS for me!!!

    now my boss gives me a daily dose of the "incrediable shrinking lady" ... it feels SOOO good!

    My family noticed at about ten pounds, but they also knew I've been working on it. A friend (a male friend) said something to me at about 15 pounds. I'm at 20 pounds, and I still haven't heard anything from colleagues or students (I teach seventh graders, so I'm not expecting anything from them, but it would be quite a nice surprise!)

    Hubby noticed first.. he saw me pulling my pants up more and said it was easier to hug me at 5lbs.. I just hit 7lbs lost and people in the last week have been starting to ask me or tell me I am looking good..
    Its a good feeling.. but I think it happens at different times for everyone.

    My coworkers and those who see me most haven't really said anything. But I saw family members that I hadn't seen in a few months (my grandfather and my aunt) and they both noticed.

    A few folks started to notice about 15 lbs. At 25, when I had to start buying a new wardrope - lots of folks started noticing ;-)
