When did you/others notice weight loss?

I started eating healthily and going to the gym for the first time on sept 1st and I am now 10kg. I'm trying really hard and want to continue in the countdown to Christmas but I just feel a bit down that no one seems to have noticed. I can tell a little from photos etc and in my clothes which are much looser- I just hoped by now I'd notice more and others would do too.
I'm around 5'4" and gone from 88kg to 78kg so I know I have at least another 10 to lose to get my bmi down to healthy.

So when did you start to notice?

Congrats, that's amazing progress. Maybe they haven't noticed because your clothes are looser. I feel your pain but keep going, your doing really well. I wish I had your motivation.

It's definitely when you wear new clothes that actually fit. I've lost over a stone (started at 13st and now weigh 11st10). Nobody at work has commented. They look me up and down and comment that I look nice but don't seem to be able to put their finger on what it is. However I am still wearing my loose fitting clothes. My new jeans etc do show I've lost weight.

At the weekend I saw an old friend I've haven't seen for months and although she definitely eyed my clothes she didn't comment sadly...perhaps I just don't look different!

I've only lost 6lb but DP reckons he can see a difference...I think he's only saying it to be supportive though. I definitely don't feel thinner yet.

I’ve recently lost a stone and got my first comment last night! Made me feel great! But I was wearing new clothes which are obviously tighter than my old ones!

Your heart will have noticed, hold on to that thought!

I’ve lost 12lbs and my best friend reckons my fingers look thinner so there’s that at least xD
