    I started noticed after 20 lbs. Someone will mention here or there about my looking thinner in my family, but I really can't wait to be thin enough for it to be outright noticeable to all of my family. (:

    It really depends on how much you need to lose. A 15 pound loss on a thin person is very noticeable compared to someone who is morbidly obese. Personally, I had a good 80 pounds I needed to lose and after about 25 lbs down, people start noticing. I am also tall so that also makes a difference.

    I think sometimes we are looking for a specific change so we overlook some. For instance, after losing 30 pounds I finally started seeing changes. However, I didn't really start acknowledging progress until this week. I've only lost two more pounds but noticed that my thight cellulite is almost unnoticeable. This has made a big difference in how I view my body (more than losing inches/sizes).
    I guess the next biggie for me is my love handles, then tummy overhang.
    I am interested in overall health, but certain physical transformations seem to make my progress obvious.

    I could see a difference after losing 20 lbs. or so (I've been taking pictures every time I lose 10 lbs.). I'd still like to lose another 60-70 lbs., though.

    I agree about everyone being different. I have a total of 80 to lose and have lost 23 since the beginning of the year. Started slow with just watching food and then added treadmill and now cardio/weights alternating day to day and then treadmill for about 1/2 an hour. I have worked out every day but 3 for two months now too. My clothes fit different but nobody has noticed the weight loss.
