When should it be noticeable?

Hi Violamom, from what I see on the other forum I'm on (VSG), it usually takes 50-60 lbs. for folks to notice.  I'm sure you see some difference, at least in the way you can do things eaiser than before?  You have done really well, hang in there!  A friend of mine has slowly lost weight over the end of summer, and I just saw her last week.  Her face was WAY thinnner, and I saw it in her body too. She said she had lost a total of 44 lbs.  I really thought it was more than that.

I DO see the difference.  I feel it.  I know that I am moving into smaller clothes in my closet, I know that moving is easier...  lots of NSVs ... easier personal hygeine, easier shoe tying, easier walking etc. after some reflection, I think that I really wanted mother to notice when she returned from 3 weeks away and she didnt...  of course she always notices when I gain.
