How much weight loss before people notice?

I've been working out consistently and watching what I eat for a few weeks now. My clothes feel a bit looser, but I'm wondering how much weight loss usually happens before other people actually start noticing a difference.

For me, my colleagues started noticing and commenting when I lost around 5-7 kgs. Before that, it was mostly just me feeling better in my clothes. It really depends on your starting weight and height, but that's usually the ballpark.

Honestly, don't stress too much about when others notice! You'll feel it first in your energy and how your clothes fit. But if you really want to know, generally after losing about 5-6 kgs, people around you will start saying, 'Are you looking thinner?'

Ho na, sabko ye curiosity hoti hai! Generally, when you lose about 5-7% of your body weight, people start to notice. So, if you're 70 kg, losing around 3.5-5 kg would be noticeable. But the main thing is how YOU feel, right?

Namaste. The goal should be inner well-being, not external validation. But if you're curious, usually after losing about 5% of your body weight, people around you may start to observe. Focus on consistent healthy habits, and the positive changes will manifest.

Oh, I totally get why you'd ask this! It's motivating when people notice, right? For most, it's usually around 4-5 kg, or roughly 5% of your body weight, before friends and family start commenting. But you'll probably feel it in your clothes much sooner!

Mere saath bhi hua tha, jab maine thoda sa weight kam kiya toh pehle toh koi notice nahi karta tha. Around 5-6 kilos ke baad logon ne bolna shuru kiya 'kya diet kar rahi ho?'. Best hai, khud pe focus karo, khush raho.

Beti, jab tak 4-5 kilo kam nahi ho jaate, toh log itna dhyan nahi dete. Lekin tumhara sharir toh sabse pehle khud mehsoos karta hai, kapde dheele hone lagte hain. Bahar ki chinta mat karo, khud ki sehat dekho.
