I had lost about 40lbs last time before anyone noticed and said anything. Unfortunately, I'm sure that means they all noticed when I gained it all back ...plus a few
In the past when I've lost weight people usually start noticing when I get down somewhere between 10 to 15 lbs. My husband can always tell. By the time my family sees me again around the holidays I hope to be down 20 to 30 lbs so hopefully everyone will be able to tell.
My former "work mom" noticed at about 15-ish lbs. I've lost almost 30 while working for the current employer--my boss and I are both counting calories, and we never discuss it. It's one of those hush-hush girl things...but when one of us can get into our skinny pants, we have to share with one another.
My body has really changed quite a bit with only a 25# loss. I've lost 3 pants sizes (from 20 to 14), my waist has gone from 46 to 36, my hips have gone from 52 to 44, and my face looks less poofy. I'm getting smaller, not lighter but people are noticing the change. I don't get heaps of comments but enough to motivate me to keep going.
I lost 10-15 or so and people noticed, but I started at 155. I shouldn't care whether people notice but I find myself wearing the same clothes every day because they're the only ones that are fitted enough to "show off" said loss.
I found that initially people started to notice when I lost 35-40 lbs, or basically when i got to the lower 200s. I stalled at 174 for a while and then bounced back up to 184-187. Starting over the summer I started losing again. I'm at 162 right now, and for some reason that's been the magic number. I've had friends comment as well as a guy friends say, "you look nice today," even though I was pretty much just wearing what I normally do!
About 50 pounds. And the people who you don't see often will comment first. I will tell you this I am not really the type that likes the compliments and constant questions on what I am doing because I was afraid I will get on my soap box about health,fitness and weight loss.
But rumors started flying around my small town and my kids school that I had some sort of weightloss surgery (gastric bypass or lapband) or that I was losing weight because I was getting a divorce. So I decided to squash some rumors and set the record straight for anyone who asked. I also became more public with my running. I run my neighborhood and the football stadium 4-5 times a week.
Just stay focused , it's not always easy how people you thought would love and support you can change. For me some friendship have become distant because of my lifestyle change. It was painful and hard to swallow at first but I am working through it. Even my Mother has made some hurtful comments that I believe were said out of jealousy.
Hi, it was 40 lbs. lost before people started noticing and commenting. I have several family members who are over weight...they did not comment at all. I think maybe they look at me and it makes them feel like they should be doing the same thing. It actually feels awkward to me for them to pretend nothing about me has changed. I'm not trying to hurt them I am just trying to get my weight under control.
My clothes are literally falling off of me. I have had to buy some inbetween clothes. My shirts hang down to my knees. I have lost the roundness of my shoulders and my shirts hang down and fall off my shoulders. My weight loss is almost at 50 lbs. now. I still have a ways to go but I feel healthy and strong. Even the hunger that was hard to take in the beginning has almost all gone away now. I had a family member to ask me,"you have so much will power how do you do that"? I told her I want this real bad. If you really want something bad you will work hard for it.
For me, it was just recently. About 50 pounds. I think this depends on where you start at. The more you weigh, the more you have to lose for it to become noticeable.
For a lot of people, they may notice, but say nothing.
I agree that it depends on where you start. For me, people started saying something when I had lost about 50 pounds. I think new clothing was a factor in that. For the first 50 pounds, I kept wearing my old clothes, they just got baggy. After losing 50 pounds, I had to buy new clothes. I think the new clothes let people see the difference.
I am at 22 lbs and no one has said anything. That brings me down two sizes too. I was tight 20 now into a tight 16. I dont let it get me down though. I celebrate myself. My belly is smaller than my boobs!! GOOOO AMY!!!
I also agree that it depends on your starting weight, unfortunately. At the beginning it took about 40lbs for people to start noticing. Now, if I loose 10-15lbs people already notice.
I remember that after my first week of eating healthy I went home, and the first comment my dad made when he saw me was "But I donīt see any difference, are you sure youīre on a diet?" ... I told him that if he didnīt have anything supportive to tell me, that he should keep the comments to himself. About two months later, we met at a mall, and he didnīt recognize me, I was right in front of him and had to say ... "heelllooo, Iīm here!!" It was awesome!!
People started noticing around 35/40 pounds. But really what it took was leaving work for the summer and then coming back. Over that time I lost a whopping 10 pounds and seriously EVERYONE thought I'd lost the entire 65-70 pounds over the summer.
