How Long Before Someone Noticed Your Loss??

I started my life style change on Jan 01 and I had lost 20lbs before my co-workers who haven't been following my journey noticed. It showed up in my face, neck and chest first. I have lost 34lbs total and now everyone notices started out at 224lbs and this weeks weigh in was 190lbs. Congratulations to us all for taking these steps to a better life :flowerforyou:

took 25 lbs befor a few people noticed. Then I left for several weeks and lost another 10 lbs. My uniforms for work no longer fit right and that is what people notice. Not that I lost weight, it's that my uniforms don't fit right.

Yes... I think if you see the same people everyday, it's harder for them to notice. I saw my neighbor today ( who I hardly ever see) and when I do never really speak to him. He asked me when I got skinny! I think he just may be my favorite neighbor now lol

I had lots of people notice right away and still comment often. My husband however said he didn't really notice until I did a side by side picture, the funniest part is that I weigh less than I did when we got married! I had lost 60 pounds by the time I did side by side pictures and he didn't even notice!

I think that just because people don't say anything does not mean they don't notice! I saw several replies saying nobody has noticed but I would say that they have but weight gain/loss can be a touchy subject so they just might not mention it.

This...Usually its the reason close friends and family will comment first.

Not my 1st but I stopped by a shop of a friend of mine I haven't seen in about 4 or 5 months and he asked what I had been up to besides losing weight? It made me feel pretty damn good that it was that noticeable. I am down another 12 or 13lbs since i last seen him.

Every time I start losing weight my fiancee notices immediately. Then again I sweat he's always checking out my body regardless what weight I am so he'll always be the first to notice. But don't let it get you down. People are always too busy with their lives to notice others. Just keep at it and when you're almost at your goal...people will notice. Especially when you bring out old pictures. =]

I wouldn't know yet. Have only lost 7 lbs so far and lots more to go. I'm not so concerned about others noticing. I am looking forward to when I can notice the loss.

I've posted on this topic before but I came back to say someone finally noticed. About a week ago and 45 pounds lost a coworker asked if I had been losing weight. ) It made my day. lol

I think it also depends on how you dress before, during and after with weight loss. I have been off work for 3 weeks due to a surgery (hysterectomy)~have lost a total of 25.5 and haven't seen many people from my job for most of that time. I have been noticing at home of course (I see me in my underwear!), but because I have an array of sizes of clothing in closet, I have been wearing some of the big sloppy stuff at home. Remember these things used to fit me, but now they hang! I have begun wearing clothes in public that I never would have before losing the weight and it fits me now, so since my clothing is not hanging, people that I see, seem not to notice the weight loss.

If your clothes were fitting like a saddle on a sow (how my dad used to tell me my clothes were much too tight), before you began losing and now they fit well, people will notice. If you want some attention, wear something you love that USED to fit you tightly and wear it proudly because it is now comfortable and listen for those compliments to start!!

I think once a week or so, I will wear something huge, just to remind myself just how far I have come and see what the reaction is from friends...hahaha ....Try it and see!!
