Immediately on the scale- seeing numbers go down. Took about 2 or 3 months and 10 pounds before I felt different looking in the mirror and other people started to notice.
It will be different for everyone though.0 -
Took almost 3 months before anyone noticed. But I saw it after 2nd month of watching scale.0

What do you mean by "feel" like you're losing weight. Losing weight isn't really a feelz thing...you see it on the scale or you don't.
I can usually see a solid trend after about 2-3 weeks.0 -
i have quite a bit to lose, but i started to feel it around the 30 pound mark. i'm down about 50 now, and i agree that some days now i feel bigger than when i first started. just depends on the day.0

For me, it took a long time (about 3-4 months), but the first 2 months I wasn't actually counting calories. I was just trying to add some exercise in without changing anything else. Then one day I decided to try counting, and saw how crazy my food intake was. It was about 1 month after that that I could look in the mirror and think I saw a difference, and the photos I was taking showed it clearly.
Now, for me, I can easily see the difference, and I'm about 5.5 months in. I've got pants that I can put a hand between my body and waistband, sideways, and not be touching anything (and that were just comfy back in August). If I look down my body while standing up, I can see the front of my legs, while back in August I would only the ends of my feet.
I'm not as extreme as some are. When I started, I was at 6 foot, 270lbs. Depending on your starting point, it may be much longer before you really feel like you're losing weight, especially if you use those same non-scale-victories I described last paragraph. Just pay attention to your body, and you'll see it as it happens. And it's one of the most amazing things you've ever felt, I can say that for sure0 -
I've lost close to 10 lbs in the last five weeks and I could immediately see a difference. I think some of it was I increased my water intake and decreased my sodium intake so at first I think it was just less water weight that I saw in the mirror. Now my clothes are becoming noticeably looser. But I am only 5'5 so ten pounds is a good bit for my frame.0
