I've probably lost around 50 pounds (not sure of my exact starting weight) and people other than my husband and a few very observant friends are just starting to notice. All of a sudden I am getting lots of comments, but I didn't get any for months. I think that those of us at very high weights just look fat to other people and they don't distinguish between fat and slightly less fat. I also think the fact that I've bought some new clothes that actually fit (as opposed to be baggy) has made a big difference.
A funny story: I walked into the office of one of my co-workers yesterday and he said, "You look different. Have you changed your hair?" I said, "No, guess again." He stared at me for a minute and said, "You've lost weight, haven't you?"
