15 pounds, my underwear was the first to feel loose
20 pounds, pants and tshirts kinda lose
25 pounds, pants definitely loose!
like others have said, I now look very frumpy is some of my normal clothes.
Espresso, that's so funny! MEN I hope you don't take offense to it, but at least they're trying to say you look pretty
and brooklynn and ctpriss, I totally know what you mean.. I have that DANG overhang... hate it! Hopefully it goes away eventually, I'd hate to get a tummy tuck they look so painful.
My weight loss was gradual enough that I still feel like I see the same body in the mirror as I did 36 pounds ago. That's why I try not to rely on my reflection to keep myself motivated!
I got my first "you look much thinner these days!" comment (from someone who didn't know I was trying to lose weight) after about 15 pounds. My pants sizes are all over the map due to different brands and living in different countries, but I guess I used to wear 12-14 and now I wear 6-10 (generally 8). I noticed collarbones around 15 pounds lost as well. Recently, I'm noticing my thighs touching less and my hipbones & ribcage sticking out a bit when I lie down.
Still have 10 pounds or so of stomach and back fat to lose before I'd dare to be seen in a bikini, but maybe I'll get there by summer!
For me? Around 10 lbs gone. Slightly smaller in the stomach and butt, can feel it in jeans. And actual stomach feels squishier. Like the fat is loosening up and getting ready to go.
Sounds so off when I type it like that. LOL. But I can't think of how else to describe the squishy.
The biggest difference was in my face - the excess weight had made me kind of "jowly" and this is the most repeated compliment from my friends and acquaintances.
I'm noticing now, at about 15 lbs down. I look like I'm wearing someone else's clothes...I have to dry my corduroys on high & they are still kinda saggy on me. No one has made any comments, which is fine with me. My face is also looking less puffy, esp in the morning.
I started Medifast last Tuesday and on Friday at the doctor's office they weighed me and I had lost 4lbs. I don't weigh again till tomorrow. It may be psychological but I think I see a difference. I feel a little smaller. My clothes fit about the same though.
I weighed, after 13lbs. =]

I've lost 10 pounds (I'm only 5'0"), and no one has noticed. I am not yet in a smaller size jean, but I am able to get in the smaller cut ones of the same size (if that makes sense). Hubby says I look the same no matter what I weigh (he also says I look exactly the same as I did in high school 20 years ago, so you can see he's a flatterer).
I doubt anyone will ever notice a difference in my weight unless I end up a freakin' stick twig, which won't be happening.
At about 4-5lbs the jeans that had been getting snug started to fit comfortably again. And now, at 7-8lbs down, my tshirts are fitting better because my belly area seems smaller. That's all I've noticed so far.
Honestly, it's so weird that I'm actually witnessing in myself my psyche messing with me!
I've lost 40.8 pounds now and I look in the mirror and can't always see it...I've lost 22.5 inches combined off of my arms, hips, bust, waist and thighs... It's really incredible and I'm so proud, I do think I look good etc., but it's kind of weird. When I see myself in a picture, though, I'm like good lawd I look good!! It's just so weird. I think a big problem is that I haven't gone shopping for new clothes yet at my smaller size. To answer the original question, I'm not sure how much I lost when I COULD have first put on the smaller sizes, but I went from my 14/16 to some old 12s after about 25 pounds loss.
Okay this is not my first time at the rodeo.
I start to slightly notice in my face and neck at 15 pounds and just a little bit in my clothing (not down a size or anything cool like that).
People start to notice around 30-35 pounds and also by that time I am down a size or 2 but still a fatty.
So 15 myself and between 30-35 for others.
My husband says he notices a difference at 10 lbs. Not sure if he's trying to make me feel better or what! I've only lost .5 inch from my waist and hips though.
At 25 pounds down when I opened the cabinet door and it hit me in the boobs instead of the stomach! Seems like it's been a long time since that happened!
And yesterday I looked down and my glasses fell off. I guess that's a "good" inconvenience.
I hope you don't take offense to it, but at least they're trying to say you look pretty
