I know its different for everybody, but I was just curious when some of you started to physically see changes in you body from weight loss?
*Right away I felt better

When did your jeans feel smaller? 10lbs...20lbs?
*Honestly, I think it was closer to 30 lbs. I'm tall so I have a lot more of me that the fat is spread over. Once I went down a pants size, the next two sizes came really quickly.

When did others start to take notice?
*Around 35 lbs. It was fun at first but it gets to a point where it's embarrassing. I like when I hear that I motivate others but I get really embarrassed when they keep complimenting me.

When did YOU look in the mirror and see a difference?
*Gosh, I don't know. I hate looking in the mirror. Still. But probably when I lost about 35 lbs. Since then the changes seem to be more dramatic. I love that I'm so much stronger than I was before. I was so out of shape and such a wimp!

Like I said, I know everyone will have had a different experience... but I am so looking forward to these milestones!
*You will get there! I hope that when you reach these milestones that you feel stronger and more motivated which will in turn motivate others to make changes in their lives.

Well, I can come back and answer my own question now!

I really started to notice a bit of a difference at 17 lbs. my pants are way looser, and Ive gone down one size.
I also notice a small difference in my double chin. Woohoo!

No one else has said anything yet. Except my hubby, but only cuz I ask first.

Ive noticed that my clothes are fitting looser, but aside from that I don't notice much of a difference. My coworkers say they can see a difference in my face after 20 pounds and my boyfriend said tonight "don't take offense to this, but your belly looks smaller now"...of course I was elated that he even noticed and not the least bit offended. Cant wait to go down a size or two

It'll come! Great job!! People WILL start noticing, don't worry about that! Sometimes I think people don't say anything until you start losing a lot of weight because they don't want to hurt your feelings. I had one lady that I've known since High School (over 20 years) who asked my husband if I had cancer or something else wrong with me since I've lost so much weight! She was worried about me (She knew me when I was smaller than I am now but I did lose weight a little too fast this fall).

When I start losing weight, it can be shown very obvious at my tummy! Secondly would be my face. The important thing is you can feel the different physically and mentally
