For those in the 300’s or who’ve been in the 300’s…

I started out at 326 and now, i’m at 305. I’m just wondering how much more i’ll need to lose before i can tell a difference. I’m 5′5 and pretty evenly proportioned throughout my body.

Thanks… i’m just wonderin’ how much longer it’ll be till i notice something!

    I started at 350 originally and 310 on Atkins. It seems like it was about 25-30 pounds b4 I could tell and then I still had to lose about 40-45 b4 others noticed. It seems like when you weigh more you have to lose more to change a size.

    I was the same starting weight and if I remember correctly, I think I had lost about 35 lbs and could really feel the difference in my clothes . I am 5′8′ and am pear shaped but at 326 I had also packed on the abdominal inches. My abdomen was the first to go……….the hips are always the last here.

    No I meant 40-45 all together. Sorry that I was unclear.

    Before YOU notice or other people? I’ve lost 87 lbs and sometimes I still dont’ notice

    Honestly, it’s hard to say. I know that it took maybe 40 or 50 lbs until I could see it (both times that I’ve lost weight) and not that I could see it, but I could feel it, like I could sit with my legs up under my chin, or that my legs looked thinner when I wsa shaving them, or that I started to feel bones.

    PRobably doesn’t answer your question huh?

    aww… don’t be sad – it’s okay i’m glad it’s not 40-45 more!!

    Thanks for the input you guys…. i’m hoping that another 20 lbs (will be 41 gone) that i’ll really be able to tell.

    I just want my family to notice when i go home for Christmas at least — would be nice if they notice at Thanksgiving, but i’m not getting my hopes up. They’ve not seen me since August.

    I guess right now you may hear "have you changed your hair?" "Did you get new make-up?" those kind of comments – they know something is different but they just can’t quite put a finger on it.

    It was about about 50 lbs when folks really started saying things to me…and until then, they all said things like, "You look pretty…I like that dress etc." I just want to scream, "No, dummy, I lost weight!" lol barb
