    Everyone will have VERY different answers Im sure . . . truthfully I didn't really start to see and FEEL a change until I had dropped about 20 pounds, so about 2 months.

    think it really depends how much you have to lose, I lost 6 stone a few years ago, nobody really noticed until I lost abut 4 stone of that, then the whole world suddenly noticed. This time I've lost 22 pound, nobody has really said anything much .... :grumble:

    I can see results myelf, but not drastic ones .. clothes def fit better, I've got another 10 pound to go I reckon once I've done that, I'll really notice the difference, it's just that last little bit

    I lost 5 lbs the first week but that is because I did a quick start for 6 days at about a net of 600 calories (900-300 for exercise). Then I stalled for about 4 weeks once I started eating 1200 + exercise calories. It will happen. Just give it some time.

    HI, first you will feel good that you decided to take control. Second eating healty you will feel physically better. Third depending how much you have to lose, it could be at 10 pounds, for myself it was at 20 pounds after two months (I have lots to lose) , someone finally noticed. The people taht we see everyday will not see the change but someone who hasn't seen you in a long time will definetly notice. The the bonus, snug clothes get loose, then it's off we go shopping for smaller sizes........!!!! Wish you the best!!!
