I am down 20lbs as of yesterday.. I have yet for someone to notice, and although it's a little discouraging, I know it's still early considering I have another 60lbs to lose MINIMUM. So I was hoping somewhere here might be able to tell through a picture.

    I can tell. Your waist looks smaller and tummy tighter. Well done! Sometimes people can tell but don't want to say anything in case it's awkward.

    Congrats on having lost 20 pounds!

    It takes a while for people to notice, and everyone loses weight differently. It looks like yours may be coming off your middle, but if it's coming off evenly from most everywhere, then you're going to take longer for people to see it.. And then they'll be shocked.

    Just keep at it. You're doing great!

    in your face, legs, and your chest looks less like it's been shoved into your sports bra. Definitely can see differences.

    Well Done. Keep going. When you lose another 20 you will get lots of compliments. It will be very noticeable.

    I can tell - smaller upper stomach and chest - but I'm looking at the pictures side by side. It would be difficult for people who see you everyday to see a difference - it'll be the folks who haven't seen you in months who'll say something to you about your weight loss first. xx

    When I lost 20 I didn't hear anything which bummed me out but 20 lbs is 20 lbs and you feel the difference, now that I've lost 40 everyone makes a comment. Hang in there, within no time you will be explaining to everyone how you did it!!

    Oh heck yeah!
    I've heard that for folks my size (I started at abt 235) it takes about 20lbs for people who see you every day to notice. It's because they see you every day!

    Congrats on the loss! Keep up the awesome!

    This. I lose weight fairly evenly (mostly midsection, slower in the thighs, etc) and I lost about 90 pounds before my dad looked at me one day when I was visiting and actually noticed.

    And yes, there is certainly a difference there -- you look lovey overall! :D

    You look great! And I can guarantee you that people are noticing... probably just afraid to say anything :-)

    I had to lose about 30 pounds for people who see me daily to notice a change. My husband started noticing right away but he knows I was trying to lose. I saw someone that I hadn't seen in a few months and they noticed it right away.
