I can't see or feel a difference until I've lost about 10 lbs. Others don't start noticing until I've lost about 15 lbs.5

It honestly depends. I started at 208 lbs and didn't notice a change until I was down 25 or 30 pounds. I've been losing really slowly from all over, so the change has been pretty gradual. As for other people, it's hard to say because a lot of people who see you regularly won't notice, or if they do, won't say anything. I've been losing for over a year now and just a couple of weeks ago had the first person at work comment on it 40-45 pounds later. I work with a guy who lost about the same amount over about the same time frame, and I honestly didn't notice until I heard someone else say something about it. Then again, I visited my in-laws in early December and they definitely noticed the change. So yeah, it depends.1

Thanks! It sounds like I've been losing about the same rate you are, maybe 3-5 pounds a month. It's easy to get impatient, but the time is going to pass anyhow, and the pounds do add up.1 -
Well its better to lose weight slowly so ive heard, so its working out to b weight loss of 1lb a week ive got about a stone to go to target weight, hopefully willc a change soon1

Did you take measurements? You may see changes there first.0

I did but only last week so will have to give it few more weeks0

I've lost 20 and still don't really see a change although others have1

Take progress photos! I started out at 195 (I'm 5'1"). I didn't really notice much until I was closer to 160. Then after another 20 pounds it was a big difference. Based on past experience losing weight, every 10 pounds after that is a massive difference as I get closer to goal. It may not feel like much or look like it in the mirror, but progress photos will definitely show you otherwise.3

The first place that you’ll notice is from your face. You’ll look different and people will notice3

What's your goal weight? The less you have to lose I think the longer it will take to notice/feel your body changing. It's great when other people notice too.2 -
Oh wow thats amazing, my goal weight is 140lbs anythin less would be great but trying to focus on that goal first, ive got about 10lbs to loose0

Its taken me 15 lbs to just notice a change in my face. Nothing seems different with my body as of yet unfortunately..1

Take pictures. They really help when you're having a bad day!1

3-6 months if losing slowly and it will probarly be someone mentioning it rather than recognising it yourself untill buy smaller sizes.0
