Mine is probably same as you around 30ish pounds.1

30-40 lbs for me also! That's w/ me needing to lose 150 total lbs in the beginning.2
-
I think probably around 18-20 lbs lost was the first time someone said I was a "skinny mini" - I haven't heard that in YEEAAARS so I was secretly overjoyed.8
-
For me, it was at the 40 lb mark3

About -30lbs. It all depends on how much you have to loose to begin with.1
-
20 pounds. I lose it in my face first, and that's where people notice it.

People haven't quite yet. I'm at 32lbs down..... It's kind of frustrating, as I'm
Working hard and I think argh, it's not showing, but then I know when people DO notice it will be for real rather than people saying they notice it to be nice.
In the past when I've lost weight, I've been very open about it, and people have always said "oh you look great, I can really see it!" Which makes you feel good, but then I'll be hitting a rough stage, gain 10lbs or so and be feeling crappy about it, and someone will (meaning well of course!) say the expected "oh you've lost more weight, you look fab!" and because I know I've gained a lot, that demotivates me even more, because i then know people were previously just being nice.
So this time I haven't said much to people, and hopefully they will start noticing soon. ☺️8 -
About 10 pounds.0

20+ lbs then people started to notice2
-
I think it's highly dependent on each person, I sometimes see progress pics where people have lost 50 lbs or something and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference honestly, if I saw them in real life (I'm also terrible at telling people's weight though...).
As long as the weight went down, that was all that mattered to me.2 -
I lost around 15 lbs in a summer.
Four good friends noticed the loss then.
My family didn't truly notice anything until I came back home from university for Christmas break another 33-ish lbs lighter.

I had lost 70lbs, and not one person from school noticed. During winter break, i lost another 20. EVERYBODY noticed. Guess it was due to the fact that they saw me everyday12

Yeah I think seeing someone everyday makes it harder to notice, but that's crazy that they didn't notice after 70 pounds. Great work, btw!3 -
20 lbs, my hubby mentioned that I was looking really good the other morning. Then a couple hours later he called and asked if I wanted to go to dinner this weekend. It might seem little but he has never planned a date night and we have been together for almost 10 years, lol!25

One or two said something around 30-40 pounds loss. Then I got a huge compliment when I had reached the 60 pound mark. It was frustrating when you you were almost as round as you are tall and no one seems to notice that you finally are getting a waist. Some think its rude to say something. Others no matter how good you are doing will never have nothing good to say and if they do comment they have negativity to spill. I had one person say I will just gain it back.0

About the same... really, when I bought new, smaller clothes, which happened after I'd lost about 30-35 lbs.3

I think people notice when you change, not when your body changes. You as a whole I mean. For example if you are still wearing the same old "cover all my bumps" clothes even if they now fit loose few people would notice. However if you change to a tailored look, everybody would notice. Also it depends on when one regains ones confidence. Changes her/his general attitude, etc.
For me... I had to lose a total of 44lb. When I had lost about 18 lb we had some friends come over and they didnt notice anything. Then they came to visit again a couple of weeks later. I had lost 22 lb at this point. For a firtst time I wore clothes a couple of sizes smaller they had not seen me in before. They were both shocked at my weight loss. I said well yes I lost 20 llbs. And their response - What?? In 2 weeks?? ROFL13 -
Mine is at the 38 pound mark. That's how much I lost, and just yesterday was the day everyone started really commenting all at once about it. The fact that I was wearing clothes that actually fit instead of my super baggy ones probably helped too.2

Mine was at 40lbs lost - some people said oh no he just had a haircut - others said its a bit more than that - what's your secret I was asked - told them lots of walking - CICO that's the trick2
