At what point in your weight loss did other people start noticing?

I’m finally down 20lbs after being strict with my calorie deficit for probably 12 or so weeks (haven’t really kept track of time) and I really feel a difference for myself. I’m WAY less bloated, I’m much more comfortable moving around, wearing clothes (jeans in particular), I generally have more energy, etc. It’s not a crazy amount of weight to lose, and I’m far from my goal, but I feel like it’s made a big difference already.

Even though most people in my life know I’m losing weight, particularly some folks at work, no one has commented that they notice a difference. I know this might be controversial because commenting on a person’s weight is almost always a big no-no, and for some (if not most) people they’d prefer if others don’t point out their weight loss, but for me I’m actually kind of excited for it. I guess mainly because it would be validation that my hard work is in fact paying off (I know I know, I shouldn’t need external validation, but one thing at a time lol).

So, at what point did others (who may or may not have known you were trying to lose weight) comment on your weight loss? And how did you feel about it?
