Hi Teepee. I started five weeks ago at 238lbs and I am 5'5. I had my first comments from my husband within a week but it has taken a loss of one and a half stone before I had a comment from anyone else. At least three people have commented on how well I am looking this week!!
What meant the most to me was how well I felt in my body - almost instantly I lost the bloated look and feeling. My skin is better, my eyes brighter and I feel at peace inside in a way I havent in ages - there really is no down side to dieting!

It does depend on your starting weight, a lot. I'd say that roughly speaking it takes about 5% of your starting weight for you to see a difference and at least 10% before anyone else will start noticing.
First time when I lost about 1.5 stones I dropped a dress size.
Everyone noticed.
This time i've lost a stone so far (same stone I've lost 4 times now
)and I can fit into my tighter clothes better but apart from my belly you can't really tell that much.
First 1.5 stones was round about 10% of my weight.
This last 1 stone is over 10% my body weight.
Hope everyone can notice the next half a stone.

steeleee said:I've lost nearly 3st, and I've noticed a difference in some of my clothes, but other people haven't really noticed. In saying that, I have lots to lose, so not suprised that its not that noticeable yet.....
Have you bought any smaller clothes yet? I didn't want to because I wanted to lose more but I had to buy some cheap clothes for work as my trousers kept falling down! When I started wearing smaller clothes that fit, people started noticing. I think if you're still wearing bigger clothes it'll make you look bigger. However, completely understand the reluctance to fork out when you want to get smaller! But I have to say, now that I'm wearing some properly fitting clothes I'm getting lots of compliments and that gives me the motivation to continue!

I havent yet to be fair, but 99.9% of my clothes are elasticated so not likely to notice for a while yet as far as clothes go.... I noticed just now though when I looked in the mirror, that I actually have a little bit of neck lol it was hidden by a 3rd or 4th chin before! hahaha

Last time round (lipotrim, how did I stomach such horrible FR for so long?!) my close fiends noticed within about 3 weeks when I'd lost around a stone, moved down a dress size and looked healthier. Girls at work commented after 2 stone, blokes after 3.
I reckon it will take a couple of stone off to make any noticeable difference to anyone but me, as I've been floating around a range of about a stone for the last year or so anyway and rarely see my close friends so they won't notice there's any difference until I'm a good bit thinner. I will know about it though, as I delve through my boxes of old clothes looking for stuff in every size as I slim back down - I currently only have my fat clothes in the wardrobe as I've just moved house.
Matalan is my saviour - £10 for a pair of jeans. I don't worry about baggy tops.

Last time it was when I had lost 20lbs, but I had started at 13st 2lbs not 14st so this time I think it will take until I have lost 32lbs as 11st 10lbs seems to be my magic number that people suddenly go oh...shes lost weight! I cant wait to get there again as the compliments really do help you to do well....unfortunately I got lazy and now am bigger than ever before
