How long did it take you to start seeing a difference/results and how long did it take for others to see it?

    I saw results on the scale within the first week but didn't really look any different. It took a few weeks before I could see a loss in the mirror. I've lost 5kg so far and no one's really noticed or said anything. I think it needs to be quit a big loss (>10kg) for other people to really notice.

    Others saw a difference in me after two months (which was about three stone; don't let's talk about how unhealthy my starting point was!). Despite the evidence of the scales and the clothes, it took until after about five months (and six stone) before I saw it in myself.

    It seems to be a rule that you never see the difference yourself!

    typically see results in the mirror fairly quickly (could all be in my mind though, who knows), about 2 weeks on the scale. In my experience most people don't notice a whole lot until you change clothes sizes, as clothes mask alot.
