How long before others noticed your weight loss?

How many pounds did you loose before people started to notice? Did people seem to notice the pounds rapidly coming off? Did they question it? Your response?

At 65 lbs lost I had one person tell me I looked different, but they couldn't put their finger on how I looked different. At 90 lbs lost, I have had two coworkers ask me if I have lost weight. Started at 380, now at 289.

I would say about 50lbs when people started noticing who didn't know I had the surgery. My friends and family who knew said they could notice within a month due to my face thining out.

It only took about a month, since they don't see me that often. They always call me skinny mini now. I just laugh.

I have only lost about 20 post op, five weeks out, but before that I had sixty pre op. People notice..but I didn't until I saw a picture of me taken at Christmas...holy moly!

Some notice others dont. Depending on how large you are. Losing 40 pounds when your 250 is noticed easier than losing 40 pounds when you're 500 (me)

When I returned to work after two weeks off my coworkers noticed, and I had only lost 14 lbs! My parents, on the other hand, who I had seen the day before surgery, still haven't noticed lol.


people notice the weight loss, but what some people have said has left me confused. Has anyone said " well you look different" what the heck does that mean? mostly co workers, so I don't confront and say what does that mean! I take it as they think I look worse. I dunno nor should I care! seventy five pound down since I started my weight loss journey, surgery was on 11/21/17, only about 20 since surgery.

For me it was 100lbs but I was bigger. But I lost over 230 lbs twice once on Weight Watchers and once with RNY . Each time it was right when I hit the 100 lbs mark casual people noticed ...meaning people that didn't know what I was going through.
