Noticing weight loss

In the mirror after four months and 20kg lost. I looked in the mirror one day and went DAMN. I also spotted it in my legs today which I hadn't been able to see. I had previously been able to see it when looking at photos but that was the first time I did it unprompted.

Other people, most people in my department knew I was losing weight and I was getting compliments. After 10kg one of the women in a different dept (who I had previously worked with) walked up and asked if I was losing. When I said yes told me how noticable it was. Around the 20kg mark a woman I barely knew from the other side of the office walked up and said 'I just have to tell you, you look FANTASTIC, keep it up!' Made my day! My parents and grandparents had last seen me at around 118kg and in September after losing 13kg I was 124kg. All of them commented that they thought I was around the same as last time. I went home in December. When I walked up to my dad at the train station he got a huge grin and said it was noticeable. My mum cried. So did my grandma! Loved it.

I've lost ~20 lbs from my highest point, and about 10 or 12 lbs since I started paying attention and running. No one really seems to notice except my wife.

BeautyFromPal I totally agree! I can see the difference in pictures, but when I look in the mirror, I still think I look the same!
Friends/Work colleagues started to notice after about 5kg's but got heaps of comments at around 10kg's - which was a big motivator for me.

Been heavy since after college. Since dropping near 60#, only those who know I'm trying to lose, notice!! Everyone else - nothing. Interesting. Do I threaten their sense of self or what?

hi i lost 22lb before anyone notice i am 5"1 and was 184lb im now 158lb i went down nearly 2 dress sizes from 16-18 to a 14 uk size

My husband and mother-in-law have said they can tell I've lost and I've only lost 5 pounds (weighing in tomorrow hopefully a few more!). But other people haven't said anything yet. I think around 10 pounds or so, people notice, but nobody wants to say anything, LOL.

Nonafit, Just tell them you are very happy now, but you were happier when you were very thin.
So now you started dieting, and you hope to lose all the extra weight soon.

They don't need to know how much you have already lost.
You look beautiful in the 2002 photo.
I hope you can be that thin again.

My husband notices, or comments on it. I don't know if its noticeable, he always says what i need to hear.. Gotta love the man. No one else has said anything. I look in the mirror and see a change, but i dont really know if its different or am i seeing what i want to see. I will persevere though. I have a goal and nothing is going to get in the way! Up to now i have been my own worst enemy, not anymore~

at 20 lbs or so....don't forget people may notice but not say something....

I really started noticing a difference in the mirror after finishing level one of the 30DS. My husband has noticed my waist getting smaller, but no one else really comments. It doesn't bother me--I can tell there's a difference, and I am pleased.

My family and friends noticed first. I actually had to start a photo log, as I couldn't really tell at first. Although my clothes were fitting better, I just couldn't see the differnece. Hang in there! It will and is happening!

I'm only 5'2, so I notice every pound I lose or gain. It just seems to show on my little frame. I probably imagine some of it, though. I can see a difference in pictures after 8 pounds lost.

I've had a couple friends comment on my recent weight loss - not so much the weight per se, but since I'm doing Insanity, I think I'm becoming more muscular and toning more. My GF said my legs are "way" smaller than they were before (I'm a pear shape & tend to have thicker legs) so that alone makes it worth it for me - I have real, super noticeable muscle definition in my quads & calves now!!

In earlier times when I begun losing weight, it was around the 25 lbs lost mark that I started getting comments from EVERYONE.

Well today was the first time my husband mentioned he's noticing I am losing weight. I still don't see it. And I don't think anyone will even REALLY notice it until I hit 30-40 lbs lost. I've only started this weight loss journey on the 7th of this month. So I haven't been at this long. And I think the majority of my weight loss was water weight I lost in the beginning. So I think the next 10-20 lbs lost is when it will finally become more obvious. Can't wait!

I have lost 11 lbs, and when i look in the mirror the only place i see a diffrence is in my face, but my clothes are fitting looser. the only person that has noticed is my husband, but sometimes i feel like he is just saying it because he knows how hard i have been working. but i feel a whole lot better already so I know it is making a diffrence!
