    I weighed 171 lbs and I think I did notice a difference between 170 and 160,but not that much..It becomes more noticable when you get lighter,like someone has mentioned.I did notice a lot of difference between me @ 145 lbs and me @ 135.

    Yeah, I really noticed the first 10lbs. Heck, after the first week or two, my bras didn't even fit. I was down almost 2 pants sizes at 12lb lost.

    I've been on the keto diet for 12 (today makes 13) days and have lost probably about 10 lbs (from 275 to about 265) already and yes I definitely see a difference and notice a difference in how clothes fit too. Most of my extra fat gathers in my belly and it's definitely gone down in size and is less distended than when I started. It's a pretty small difference, but it's a difference!

    Probably a lot of the reason most people don't notice until further in is because the first 10 is usually mostly water weight.

    I've been able to tell a difference in each ten pounds that I've lost. It's definitely more noticeable with each ten you hit. :)

    10 lbs in i could kind of feel it more than see it, especially putting my hands on my hips like i so often do.

    When I lost the first 10, I had taken pictures at the beginning before getting into it. :) By comparing the photos, I realized I'd lost some of my belly fat and back fat! Woo! Pictures are so helpful.

    For me it's been all over the place.

    Examples:

    307 I felt HORRIBLE and at 290 I felt pretty good, honestly, and I looked much better in clothes too. That 17 lb made a very big difference even when morbidly obese!

    290 to 265 was just more of the same, but at around 250-260 I looked and felt much better.

    After getting to 210, I have noticed a very big difference with every 10 lb loss. I see a big difference even from 172 lb to currently 168 lb. I would not have expected that, but I do. Clothes fit me very differently and I see marked changes in my body over the past several months (I am losing really slowly as I near maintenance).

    I noticed a difference in my clothes, especially my jeans after 10 lbs., which took me from 196 to 186 (i'm 5'7"). People began to notice at 15 lbs, but at 20 lbs, I got more, "oh my god, you've lost so much weight! What are you doing?" My face looked less puffy at 10 lbs and at 15 lbs really started thinning out. When I lost the 20, I went back to Ann Taylor and found my favorite dress (a straight fit, I might add) that I'd bought earlier in the season in a 14 (which was now very baggy throughout the way, chest, and skirt..I looked like I was swimming in it) and got it on clearance in a size 12. It was a definite wow! I found that at 20 lbs, with a summer tan, people thought I'd lost much more weight than I actually had.

    I have gained 15 lbs in the last 6 months .. and no difference. Does that help ? But in my journey .. I wish I would have taken regular pictures. It would have really helped in my present gaining phase I am now in. I did lose 4 inches off my abs in the first month with only 6 lbs lost.

    I didn't take pics until I lost 25 pounds. But no one really noticed until I lost 20ish pounds.

    I've stayed the same weight for 3 weeks but have lost inches. I am 5'6" 170 and I think I've shrunk out of all of my 14s now.

    Keep going. You WILL see results.

    Congrats. I didn't notice until 20lbs were lost. I felt excited about the loss and more motivated to continue. Others didn't notice until after the 30lb mark or at least they didn't say anything if they noticed before hand.

    10 Lbs was not all that noticeable on me going from 220 - 200...the only noticeable difference I could tell was that my collars on my shirts didn't feel as tight and my rings, etc were loser.

    My next 10 Lbs from 200 - 190 were very noticeable as I lost a ton of weight in my face and started in on my gut...190 - 180 was night and day.
