    I've lost 18 of the 65 pounds I plan to lose. My family comments on my loss a lot. But it seems that I've lost most of the weight from my belly, so it's pretty noticable.

    I had to lose around 80 lbs before people at work started asking me IF I had lost ANY weight. I think that's because the weight loss was gradual and they see me almost every day but relatives I visit quarterly noticed right away.

    I lost 50#. My immediate family & BFF noticed, as did 3 coworkers that I'm friends with. That's pretty much it.

    If other folks noticed, they have not said anything. I assume that they never paid that much attention to how fat I was before. That's not necessarily a bad thing.

    Lately people have been noticing even though nothing has happened on the scale for months. Sometimes it's clothes that make the difference, the confidence you exude can do a lot, or just for people to see you more than once. From my highest weight, it took a drop of closer to 40 pounds for people to see something. I've gotten rid of about 125 pounds now and I hear it more as I work on my emotional/mental and spiritual states. Lifting that weight has made a huge difference.

    First of all, Congrats on your loss! I've now lost about a stone over the course of this year, Work colleagues have noticed and comment, immediate family havent noticed still. O/H I guess has noticed but doesnt really comment on it too much. It;s not vain, we put a lot of effort into this to feel better and sometimes being commended for our efforts will help

    Maybe I am becoming vain. I love the compliments. I usually started getting compliments after i loss 20lbs. I purposely wore my bigger clothes even though i had gone down a couple of sizes. I didn't buy fitted closes until I went down some more.. That way when I did and they fit great more people would notice and compliment me more. LOL. It kept my motivation going when there were times I felt i wasn't losing.
