    My bf noticed pretty quick and seemed surprised he even noticed. I think I'd lost 15-25lbs at the time. I started around 225lbs at 5'4".

    at 20-25lbs my family & close friends noticed, but no one else so far. I still have 80lbs to go though.

    Good luck it's possible I've done it

    Thank you! I'm trusting the process and sticking to it! :)

    I think the more you weigh, the more you have to lose before anyone notices. I'm now down just over 30lbs and people are noticing, but I still have a lot more to go...

    Depends. I'm 5'4". Up in the 160s, it might take 10 lbs. I'm 144 now and there is a very big difference when I drop 5.

    Honestly, me and my family noticed after I lost 5 pounds. I think it was mostly water weight, but I lost like 3 inches of bloating off my stomach and waist so I suddenly thinner in the waist area. I didn't see my friends until I'd lost 10 lbs and they noticed then. I'm also short (5' 2") and I wasn't super heavy to begin with (150 lbs) so any weight lost looks really dramatic on me.

    I've lost 28 pounds 15% and no one who doesn't know I'm losing weight hasn't said anything.
    To be honest, I've only it mentioned it when nutrition has been the topic.

    I still have about 30 more to go.

    Well I had a baby at the beginning of mine (only gained 17lbs during pregnancy) so people noticed immediately, but just last week someone mentioned "your face is so thin now! you are looking so healthy!!"... after 48ish pounds down. I'm now at 50 lost and I'm really seeing it on my own self now.

    At around 10lbs I started getting alot of "did you change your hair?" and "is that a new top?" from coworkers or friends.. at around 20lbs I started getting comments pretty much daily that I looked smaller and now at around 30lbs, I haven't been getting many comments directly but friends and family have told me they have been asked about my weightloss by third parties i.e. my aunt sent my mom a picture I had posted on Instagram asking her if I lost weight because I look thinner... B)

    I still haven't seen a huge difference myself but I sure feel alot better!

    When my clothes started fitting better. Just this past week, 3 different people commented on how thin I look in 3 different outfits. And my husband grabbed my butt and thighs and said that they were smaller. This was all after losing about 7 lbs in 2 months, but also a lot of exercising.

    I'm down 15lbs and a pant size and I feel like it's noticeable but only a couple people have said anything. I think a lot of people thinks it's rude to mention anything about weight. I told a friend she looked great and I could tell she'd lost weight and she said she was basically the most stressed she'd ever been in her life >.< *open mouth insert foot

    A ridiculous amount of time, probably 40 lbs. (from a starting weight of 212), which took around nine months.

    It has taken me 60 lbs. to get jaws dropping on the floor (from the change, not from random strangers, LOL - I wish).
