How much weight did you lose before people started to notice??

I'm just wondering how much weight you lost before people started to comment and notice. I am 5 weeks out and down 37 pounds. I just came back to Germany after having surgery in the states. Two people have asked if I actually had the surgery, and some jerk at the PX mistook me for pregnant. Not ONE person said "You look good" or "You've lost weight". Talk about a blow to the self image. Just when you think it's safe to start feeling good about yourself.... Anyhoo, did you lose 20, 30, 50 or more before it really started making a difference?
