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?
When did your jeans feel smaller? 10lbs...20lbs?
When did others start to take notice?
When did YOU look in the mirror and see a difference?
Like I said, I know everyone will have had a different experience... but I am so looking forward to these milestones!

For me, it was actually today. Ive lost 30 lbs, and have been fluctuating between 253-255 for a couple of weeks now, but it wasn't until today that I noticed my body is changing form. I'm starting to see curves I never had before, and my chins are getting smaller (lol). I feel it has a lot to do w/my exercise routine. I stepped it up a notch, and I am mixing it up. Doing a combo of power 90 & turbo jam. I was in your position 45 days ago, at the beginning every day was agonizing, but with time you get into the swing of things and it becomes second nature. Good luck!

It took 20 lbs before I noticed very much, but then it kind of snowballed and I started getting all the NSVs- ability to cross legs, etc. Other than a few people, I don't think others noticed too much until just recently, now that I'm nearing 40 lbs off. Like, I didn't get specific "you've lost weight" comments, but I'd get "you look happy today" or, "I like your haircut" even though it was the same haircut I've had awhile, or "I like your shirt." I think ppl noticed something, but weren't sure what. Which was fine because I was really not ready to talk about it to the general public.

I notice it a lot in my face now (yay, I carried half my weight in my face). The other day, I noticed a LINE on my thigh which, if I recall, is in the area where a muscle would be! I've gone down 3 sizes, and it still amazes me that I'm in a 12.

Once I took 20 off, I started noticing a lot in the way my clothes fit- smaller and fewer "love handles" etc. You're not far from where I started, and if it works for you like it did for me, once you hit that initial 20, YOU will notice all kinds of great things, and feel a lot better- but don't be surprised if you don't get many comments until further in. Hang in there, because it feels wonderful!!!!!

For me it was right at about 20 pounds, I've lost 35 so far and you can see a HUGE difference in my face. Varies from person to person though. I'll never forget the moment I looked down in the bathtub after 30 pounds and shouted to my mom that I actually had kneecaps again. It was a revelation! hahaha

I posted photos earlier, you can see them there:

Thanks ladies! LOVE this stuff...it's so inspiring!

My coworkers started noticing around 15lbs (I work with 100% women, so they notice everything haha), my family noticed at 18lbs. My clothes started feeling loose around 20lbs. I started noticing changes in myself around 25lbs. But for the changes I see with me I only see them sometimes. Sometimes I still feel like I look 207lbs. Waiting for the day when I think I look like I've lost weight all of the time =)

When did your jeans feel smaller? 10lbs...20lbs? Around 10lbs is when I think I went down a jeans size (or at least could wear a pair that I couldn't before). However, it was more like at a 20lbs loss when I was consistently in a smaller size of jeans.
When did others start to take notice? Around 25lbs loss? However, we also moved around that time AND I had just gotten pregnant so not many people noticed.
When did YOU look in the mirror and see a difference? Pretty soon. However, maybe it was just wishful thinking.

I think 10-15 pounds already shows noticeable differences, particularly if you lost them through diet and exercise rather than through diet alone, because you are actually smaller.

Of course it also depends how much total weight you have to lose – a loss of 15 pounds on someone who needs to lose 30 will be more noticeable than on someone who, like me, has about 100 to lose.

But after losing about 13 pounds I was able to put my jeans on right out of the drier, and all my ankle boots zip up much more easily. I can't see much of a difference when I look in the mirror, aside from a smaller muffin top when wearing my jeans (see above )

I started to see changes in my body after the first 15 pounds or so - less jiggle everywhere even if there wasn't a lot gone. My face & back were the first things to slim down and it was pretty noticeable to see.

My jeans felt smaller after the first 10 pounds, and I was into the next size by the first 20.

People at work started to comment probably around the 15 pound mark but that's because my work pants were starting to hang off my hips & I had to make do with them until I could fit into the next size down in my closet (cheapskate alert here!)

I am just starting to notice changes. I have lost 20 lb. I feel like my stomach is getting smaller. I have less of a "overhang" for lack of a better term. I am looking forward to seeing more changes as I loose more weight!

I dont see your height but we I started about 220 or so and I am 5'5 I noticed around 30lbs but people started commenting around 20 it honestly took me looking at comparison pics to really see it my self. My hubby noticed after about 10 when he hugged me one day lol.

This made me giggle.... When I had my third son and saw what my belly was doing I was like GOOD LORD!!!! it has never hung this low :P so the first thing I noticed was when it was less hangy lol

Nice topic!

I noticed at 30lbs, because every single thing I wore had become too saggy to wear out of the house.

Nobody at work has noticed the 54lb weight change, except to say, "Have you done something different with your hair?" or "You seem happier lately, are you in love?" (I'm the only woman in the office)

I am 25 pounds down and my husband noticed when he hugged me as well at around 15 pounds. I can see I look frumpy in my clothing, and better in smaller new clothing, but I FEEL a difference more than I SEE a difference.

I'm bigger than you, but when I went from 290 to 255, I was down almost two sizes and my friends and family noticed. You'll probably see it sooner than that.
