[quote=Anonymous]have you been taking progress pictures or measurements?

I am similar to you, 30 lbs to lose and I have have lost 15lbs so far. When i lost about 12lbs was when people started to comment that I looked like I had lost weight.

I think it depends on numerous factors though. Like where you carry your weight. I noticed my weight loss in my measurements first (hips, waist, chest). I went down a cup size, (I have a large chest) and a full pant size after losing about 10 lbs.

I think it also depends on how you are losing weight. If losing by diet/calorie restriction alone you will lose some muscle along with the fat and it will take longer to notice. I am losing by diet and also lifting heavy. I credit the lifting to my decrease in measurements. I have been lifting for 6 months now and it has taken me that long to lose the 15lbs. Some of that was over the holidays so that slowed things down. However, even when my weight didn't change much my measurements were still going down.

Now in terms of progress pictures. It took me until recently/15lbs to notice the change in my progress pictures and even then I don't see a huge difference. [/quote]
