How much weight did it take before you noticed?

Woot woot y'all rock!!!!
I am 5'6 my top weight was 255 I am now at 233 I have lost over 20lbs since February 3rd this year. I first could see the scale dropping so I kept going. Then I could see my pants fitting better at about 10-15lbs down. But nothing like this weekend when I had hit 20lbs down and it was like I could feel my body was different when I stand walk or lay down. But last night laying in bed I noticed a muscle I have never had before in my upper thigh not to mention my hip bones r trying to come back. My big goal is to be healthy at or around 155. My first goal how ever is to make it under 200lbs by my birthday on June 9th! Wish me luck!

I started at 250 (5'4) and am now at 160. It took me about 70lbs before I actually noticed, but I had always warn a size or two bigger than I actually was so it was harder to tell in clothes until I finally started wearing my actual size. Now when a tight shirt gets loose I get excited.

Hi, congrats on the work so far! I am 5ft 6 in tall and 51 years old. My start weight was 194lb on Jan 6 2016. 10 weeks in I am 15lb down, now at 179. Goal is 165 lb. I've lost 3 inches off bust, waist and hips, 1.5 in from thighs, 0.5 off calf and upper arm. I am sticking with 1200 cals a day and walk 4 miles every day. It's taking a lot of self discipline, but now I am starting to see a change.

Don't you feel so much better? I wonder…I'd think you'd notice being able to get around easier. curious.

It depends on what shape and height you are, but in general the more you lose the faster you notice it. It's the paper towel theory - one sheet unrolled from the outside of the roll makes no discernible difference. But a sheet unrolled from the inside makes a HUGE difference. Stick with it and good luck

5'2 starting weight approximately 251, currently 184. I didn't really see any real difference until after about 25lbs gone. To be honest I can look in the mirror some days a see a significant change and many other days I gave in the mirror and don't really see any changes at all. Now on the other hand I can definitely see a difference in photos. For the first time in a long time I feel good about taking pics. Please don't get weary! You may not get the comments you want but, understand progress is progress. Keep going! You got this!

My story is I was heaviest at 306 lbs now down to 244.2. I don't think I seen nor was i commented on until around 30 lbs. I noticed it in my clothing but not necessarily in the mirror.

I'm 5'6, starting weight 237 lbs., and now I'm at 211 lbs. I didn't really notice until last week when I put on some skinny jeans I haven't been able to get into for the last 3 years. None of my family members nor coworkers noticed until this week as well. I think it really had to do with my clothes because wearing and washing them so much has shrunk them a little so no one really noticed the difference. I'm really 2 dress sizes down from when I started. My ultimate goal is to be 130 lbs.

I started noticing after losing 10 pounds, and looking back at pictures I can tell differences around that time.

The main difference after about 20 pounds. I'm now at 30 pounds lost.

Feel free to add me for motivation I have 65lbs to go and just started losing weight. I've heard a lot of people have a hard time seeing weight loss on themselves. Many people tend to take a before photo and then one photo every month until they reach their goal so they can actually see their weight loss. Hope this helps. Keep at it!
