How long was it before others noticed?

About 2months after I first started my boyfriend's mum noticed, well shrieked it actually, which led my boyfriend to noticing but he hasn't mentioned anything else. My best friend noticed 4 months in. My parents knew and everyone else hasn't noticed/hasn't mentioned it...

As of this morning I'm down 58lbs. I think people started noticing around 40lbs. I have found it weird that people don't actually tell me but have told other people that I look like I've lost and then those people tell me. I also work with a bunch of women and I honestly think they are envious even though I still weigh more than them. I can tell a huge difference and I feel much better so what other people think is really not that important to me but compliment here and there is motivating.

My first comments came at about 2 months when I had lost about -40 pounds. I did not tell anyone I was trying to lose weight. After that, comments and compliments came all the time. I lost 160+ pounds and have been on maintenance for almost 16 months. The comments were very motivating for me and kept me going forward.

I'm down 28lbs in the last two months and so far only one person has noticed or at least said something. I don't even really notice it myself yet.

7 weeks in, 15lbs down and just this past week a co-worker hesitantly asked if I had been losing weight. Also this past week I just barely noticed my face is a little more slim. I'm a pretty big person so 15lbs doesn't seem like much for me. Different body styles/weights can show minimal or huge differences for the same amount of weight lost. Keep at it and take pictures every few weeks for motivation, and give yourself credit for those NSVs!

About 15 pounds, then my co-workers noticed.

It took about 2 months.. and it has been over a year already and people still notice.. people that I see at least once a month.. Either they were afraid to ask or they really didn't notice until way later

I'm only about 10lbs in. My roommate said something, but he's seen my eating habits change. Another one of my friends pointed to my stomach the other day and said I looked smaller that usual. She's seen my eating habits change too, but I think a lot of the bloat from junk food has gone away. I'm not really expecting any one to say anything until about 25lbs in....HOPEFULLY! It's a nice thing to hear. I find it extremely motivating. Even the passive aggressive comments.

I work retail - and three different regular customers have noticed my weight loss. And just last week a co-worker noticed - and I'm down 79 lbs. now!! Some people take a while to notice and then its a "wow" moment! Feeling so much better now! Stick with the program - it really works!!!

I've lost 17lbs since jan 1 (down from 175 to 158)- I've gotten a couple comments from coworkers and my husband.

I'm 5'7ish, started at 275 and lost 40 lbs in the past couple months and my boyfriend is starting to notice more but I really don't think it's sunk in that much. I still have a lot to lose so I just feel like a smaller version of my fat self right now, but getting there! I'm sure once I lose another 20 or so it'll be more evident to him. lol
