When did they start to notice?

At what point in your weight loss did people start noticing your body changing? I know it depends on your weight and height but I am curious!

To date, I have lost 30 lbs. So far, the people who are close to me have noticed. My husband, a good girlfriend at work, my parents. Others, have not said if they have noticed.

I think it may be a case of not sure what to say.....if they have noticed and have not said anything.

PLUS - even thought I have lost 30 lbs, I am wearing the same close. I will admit they are loose, but I was overstuffing myself into them at the end. So, I think it will be more "noticable" when I change my wardrob a bit.

I have lost 14kg (30.8lb).The only person who knows I am banded is my DH.Oh plus my surgeon, support group etc.

I have one friend that I see every week and she started commenting way back at the beginning. I have another friend that I see fairly regularly and every time she sees me she asks how much weight I have lost. Then I have a group of friends that i don't see as often. They haven't commented at all and you would think that as I don't see them that often the loss would be more noticeable!

My daughter came home from uni last week and asked if I was still on my diet! I was quite dissappointed as I would have thought she would have noticed how much I have lost.

So it seems everyone is different.

People (esp. my family) started to notice almost immediately. Especially in my face. I've lost about 55 pounds, but its hard for me to see it when I look in the mirror. I'm sure I will be able to see it after the next 50.

I've lost a little over 50 pounds and the only people that have seemed to notice are family members. I haven't even really noticed. I think my face is starting to look a little thinner but that's about it. I've only gone down one size (starting on a second), and I'm losing weight in my legs, not my stomach. Figures. So the legs of my pants are getting loose and not much else.

I figure either people just haven't noticed because I have so much more to loose, or they don't want to comment and risk maybe being rude or embarrassing me? I dunno. I'd almost just prefer they not say much!
