Noticeable weight loss/how much weight list before it's noticeable?

I suppose this depends on the person's size before the weight loss. I never notice weight loss unless it's a big loss on someone who was overweight to start with or very slim to start with. Other people seem to notice small amounts. On myself I think half a stone either way before I notice.

I lost a stone (14lbs) exactly and people commented. But people I'd not seen for a couple of weeks.

I've lost another half stone and it's not noticeable.

Though other than my jeans a bit loose, I've not noticed the weightloss on myself.

I've lost 14kg this year & only 1 work colleague has commented. I feel much better though & as much as I would enjoy the praise (I think 🤣) I'm just getting on & enjoying fitting into smaller stuff.
My DH knows - because I update him haha - but he only makes silly comments such as me getting blown away in the wind if I keep losing weight.
An old WW leader used to say at the meetings "nothing tastes as good as being slimmer feels"

I’ve lost 3 stone recently (have quite a lot to lose tho!) and a few people have commented but not many. I think a lot of people don’t really comment on other people’s weight. I don’t much- it feels personal and I don’t want people to think I’m looking at them in that way.

I’ve read somewhere that you notice half a stone on yourself and others notice a stone. Not everyone who notices will comment and not everyone will notice

I'd say 5% as minimum, and 10% if you're over about 100 kg.
So 3 kg if you weigh 60 kg, 4 kg if you weigh 80 kg., 20 kg if you start at 200kg, etc.
