When Did You Realize That You Lost Weight?

How many pounds did you guys lose before you saw a noticable difference in yourself? I am 5'4 233 currently. I started at 252. My surgery was on 3/28/12.

I didn't notice much until I was 50 lbs down, but other ppl were noticing by 30 lbs lost

I started @ 258 in August & am now 181. I always lose from the top down. I bought some smaller shorts a couple of months ago & now they are almost too big. I. Bought new bras a couple of months ago & got refitted on Wednesday. I used to wear 42C & now I'm 34DD. Crazy! My goal (with dr) is 134. Looking forward to finishing the weight loss & then maintaining! Congrats to all!

I saw it slowly, so so slowly. If not for the photographs I won't not have believed I was loosing weight. First off I know I'm a slow loser, us it took me 16 fills to get some restriction. So I can honestly say as of late that I love my band and I love my results.

If I had one bit of advice it would be that everyone loses at a different pace depending upon life style and the desire to lose. So don't compare to much- because your journey is unique!

Best wishes!!!
