Starting At Over 300?

How much weight did you have to loose before someone noticed? I started at 330 my heaviest, 326 surgery weight on May 17, I am now 294 as of today but noone seems to notice. People who know I have had the surgery as me how much I have lost but noone seems to see a difference. I know I didn't do this for other people but I would still like for it to be noticed that I am getting leaner. Anyone else?

    Much like others here, I was 330 atleast when I started...it took a long while before people noticed, probably around 50-60 pounds, but once they started it hasn't stopped. It will happen, I have tried to always have atleast one or two things, like pants that fit me...and just wore other stuff til they were like potatoes sacks. Ppl noticed more when I wore fitted clothes
