Default When?!

I was just wondering, for those of you who have already lost quite a lot of weight, how much did you lose before you noticed a difference? Ive only lost 6lbs so far so I havent noticed any difference but I wanna know how long it will be til I do!

Last time I lost weight (which I then put on again) it took from 19 st 7 to 16 st for other people to notice!! But everyone noticed people I see every day to people I say hi to in the street my problem (one of many) is I don't like the attention that brings.

My Mam went from 13 st to 12 st and that was VERY noticeable so I think the less you have to lose people notice quicker.

I think it depends on how often people see you. If you see someone every day they tend not to notice, the people who do not see you from wek to week notice first.

Different clothes may help too. Like when you can get into something you haven't been able to wear for ages..

When I went from 16st 3lbs to 14st last year not many people commented at all.

But since I started this segment of my diet - at 14st 10lbs on Jan 2nd and am now down to 13st 11lbs people have commented that I look .... younger! (Which is nice when you are 46!) I think it is something to do with my face not being quite so puffy. Certainly my eyes are wider open because I have lost some of the puffiness from my eyelids. I do Avon and one of my customers today asked me if I'd had a face lift!!!

I think Veggie is right, the less you have to lose the more it notices. I just hope it starts noticing really soon!
