About 3 months into the game I noticed some physical changes. However, I felt better from eating healthily right away - like a week.

i noticed after a few days of dieting.. and everyday i notice a little more and more. my clothes fit weird, or i'll glance at myself in the mirror, and wonder where half my face went... and thats at about 30lbs.

i notice more when my clothing starts getting loose.

It's so weird! I've lost about 25 pounds and can't really notice other than my pants fitting looser on me. Other than that I feel like I've gotten bigger. My mother seems to notice though and makes comments like your butt is smaller lol! I think I will need to lose another 20 to really see a difference.

I've lost 25 and don't really notice a difference. My hope is that once I lose another 15 I will notice something.

*Shrugs*

I guess I can see it in my face a smidge.

Less than 10. I could tell the difference in my face.

I didn't get a comment from other non-family members until around 25-30 pounds I think. Which was also right around the time my work pants were getting so saggy, I looked like a hobo.

There are days where I still can't tell. But when others started was about 50 lbs

I noticed about 20 pounds down. Others noticed 30-35 pounds down. Rarely now do I have a day that someone doesn't comment. There are days I feel really fat and feel like I am gaining weight by the minute.

my tummy appears less "out there" and my pants are sagging a bit already. i do a lot of lower body stuff, though. i doubt anyone will notice with me until about 30 lbs. but i notice. i feel better, my clothes fit better, more energy, sore muscles from working out...

For me people began noticing at about 7lbs down and they were sure I'd lost much more than that :)

At a little over 35 lbs down, I still can't tell a difference when I look in the mirror. Logically, I know there's been some change because my clothes size has changed, but it's hard to tell a difference when I look in the mirror.

My husband has been gone for several months now (he's in the Navy), so I'm hoping that he'll be able to see a difference when he gets back. :D

i've lost about 25 lbs and i still dont see a difference.

JulieJ08 01-19-2009 12:23 PM

It depends a lot on your height, starting weight, and body type, plus how much of change there is in your fitness.

I could tell some changes by 10 pounds, because I moved comfortably back down into 16s. I was barely into a bigger size when I started, or it might now have been as noticeable.

Then around 30 pounds, I started to feel somewhat normal. Like I was just a normally overweight person instead of a really big one, if that makes any sense. I felt like I blended in more.

After 40 pounds, the physical changes started coming a lot more. Less double chin, more collarbone, less belly, starting to see muscles.

I notice smaller changes now. Other people don't notice them so much, I think some may think I've stopped losing. But the changes I'm seeing, although quite definite, are more the sort you need to see me in a bikini to appreciate ;) Or maybe my family is just sick of my weight loss :dizzy:

Right about 20lbs.
