    People started noticing within 10lb, but that was mostly my immediate family (can't remember if any non-family noticed at that point). A lot more people started noticing at 20lb lost, and pretty much everyone notices at +40lb lost. I'm now 168lb and anyone who saw me in the last year says something.

    GW 145 to 150 not really sure will depend on what I look and feel like.

    1 person noticed around 25 to 30lbs. No one else said anything til around 70lbs lost. Now that I've lost over 100lbs everyone seems to have noticed. And like a previous poster said it's like I lost it overnight and now I have to tell them my secret. And also they feel the need to explain/justify why they are eating what they are eating or what exercise they are doing or what ailment they have that stops them from exercising...all of this without me even saying a word about any of it. It actually gets kind of annoying. I do like that they notice and give a compliment but I would just like them to leave it at that it is uncomfortable when they go on and on.

    I notice that too. People tend to notice when I've dropped around 20, but they notice if I'm making conscious efforts to not eat as many calories and then keep making excuses for why they aren't doing it? And I'm like whoa hey I get it, I was overweight for 25 years despite a good 7-8 of those struggling with my weight because it was v difficult to get serious about it

    I'm only down 20 pounds and so far my mom and sister have been the only ones to notice! I can tell a huge difference when I look at pictures though (ALWAYS take progress pictures! They keep me going!). Hoping others start to notice when I'm down 30 pounds. :)

    My bf, a few close friends, and mom all notice a difference. Other's either haven't or just hasn't said anything. I got so frustrated on Sunday I finally asked my neighbor can you tell I have lost anything. She said she has but thought it would be rude if she said anything. So I am wondering if that is the reason. I just have to suck it up and keep going. It would be nice to get compliments but I am doing it for me. I have noticed I am starting to get checked out by some random guys. Before I would get a look and they would look away now they do the scan and I get a smile. I know I shouldn't care because I am in a committed relationship but it is a little confidence booster.

    I am 5"5" and started my weight loss journey at 270, five weeks ago. I am currently 255. My first goal is to reach 225, then 200, maintain for 6 mos or so, then final goal to 165. I expect this will take two years or more. Not discouraged looking at the amount of weight I need to lose. I'm older, not in terrific health, and just trying my best!

    Good for you Mikkara!!!! Sounds like you are doing great and have reasonable goals and expectations. Rock on!

    I tend to thin out quickly in the face and upper body so I think it was around the 15/20 pound mark when people started to notice.

    I just hit my 36 lb mark the other day and I still haven't really had anyone notice except for a customer at my work I hadn't seen in a month or so lol but I can see a huge difference and that's all that matters right? :)
