    I'm about 25 lbs down and only a close friend and my parents have mentioned it. I did have a lot of people telling me I looked good or would comment on my hair or something else, which I take as them noticing but not being sure/wanting to mention my weight. I'm also 5'9" so I expect it'll be a little longer til it really becomes noticeable.

    People started commenting around 40 lbs, so pretty recently. It was mostly because my face is less puffy

    For me people tend to notice quicker because my stomach always shrinks first. I started noticing at 10lbs as did my SO. My mom noticed when she saw me when I went home for vacation and she and her boyfriend went on and on about how much better I look.

    However I agree with the above comments that weight comments are taboo! I mentioned off hand at work that losing weight allowed me to sit more comfortably and it was almost like they had been waiting for me to mention it because they were like "Yeah I noticed you look thinner! How much have you lost?!" and stuff like that. I think most people sort of wait for permission.

    GW: ??145 would put at normal BMI?
    Height: 5'4"

    No one has said anything yet except when I was only about 10lbs down someone that I see for work about twice a year mentioned something, which was kind of weird. I am actually dreading people to start commenting, I think it's awkward and I don't like attention. I fit some pants comfortably now that I wouldn't have worn 4 months ago.

    Im 5;2 Started at 234 now I am 206. People are only just now starting to comment on it. First goal weight is to get under 200, then to make it to 150, then to 130 and maintain.

    I've lost approaching 30lb and people are really starting to notice, although I still am 224 lb and by no means narrow. GW is about 145. Height is 5 ft 7 inches.
    A work colleague said I was "wasting away" and a close friend said, "goodness, you're melting away" . They asked how I do it and I tell them, and they don't look surprised. My mum sees the difference and so does DH. I see the difference but still feel big. When I sit on the underground train I no longer touch both seat arms with my body, and I now need a belt!

    I've lost 31 pounds. My husband says he can't tell which is disappointing but someone asked me at my son's school today if I'd lost weight

    People first started to notice after 20-pounds lost. Then more & more started noticing after I started wearing new clothes that were a size or two smaller.

    Warmer weather is coming. The sweatshirts & sweaters will soon be replaced with short-sleeves and shorts.

    I'm barely 5ft tall! :)

    I specifically remember that on December 20th I posted a new profile photo and that's when people seemed to really notice on MFP and off of MFP. (I had another account before this one for 7 months).

    It was crazy because suddenly I got a lot of. Male attention. I felt like I was invisible one day and then boom the next day comments like, "Dayumm!" and messages to my inbox. Even a male friend blowing up my kik saying, "how did I not know you were so hot!"

    I don't know. It was a fun day. I don't think I'm all that though. :blush: Must habe been just a good photo day. Haha

    I don't use a scale so can't comment on my weight. But I've been on MFP and working out for 90 days tomorrow. This last week I've had quite a few comments from people.

    I started having people notice about 30 pounds. It was winter though so jackets didn't help. Now that I've lost 83 pounds I've had people seriously not recognize me. Then they want to know my secret. I tell them its MyfitnessPal, lots of calorie counting, and exercise. Its not easy and take will but no magical cure. I know before I lost the weight I wanted a magical cure too but so glad I started or else I would never be where I am.

    I got noticed yesterday. I went to the donut shop. Yes my little boy loves them. The lady said you have lost some weight right? Then she went on to say that she wasn't hitting on me. I told her good thing because my wife and little boy were in the back seat. HA HA

    I lost almost 30lbs. It's noticeable. Is anyone saying, "WOW!" no. That's ok. I don't want to be about my weight loss. It's happening and I AM FABULOUS! BTW, I quit smoking 10/15/15. That's THE WOW that everyone is focused on. :) I AM FANTABULOUS!!!!!!!

    My grandma always seems to notice quickly, but she knows I've been working on it.
    The first time around, no one else really noticed until I was about 45 lbs down.

    Also, a lot of people won't say anything for fear of being rude.

    I find my weight loss noticeable but most people dont comment on weight. I am down around 11kg which was about 12% of my body weight.

    I had one work college says you've lost a shitload of weight but that's it. People I have discussed food & exercise at work havent said anything either. Mind you When I starting working here this is what I weighed and no one said anything when I was putting in weight either.

    I did ask my sister if she thought I'd lost weight as she saw me a week before I started and I was about 10kg down and she couldnt see a difference. Either she was blind to the extra weight or she cant distinguish fat from really fat.
