Fat experiences

I think it all depends on your starting shape. When i had started getting fatter after being in shape with decently wide shoulders it took almost 30 lbs before friends and family said anything. But if you're skinny or average shaped then I think it'd take less than 20. Also depends on how your body gains, are you more belly, legs, butt, etc.

When I was briefly 190 several years back and I regained to 225 at first, the difference was dramatic. I went from looking like a thick girl with a pot belly to having a big, pregnant looking ball gut. At my current size, I don't look observably different at 550 versus 580.

Its impossible to hide my belly hang! - even the longest t-shirts don't cover it now, I often get stared at! even laughed at on occasions - at how stretched it is and people must imagine what it would look like all let loose! if i gain it will stretch - if i loose it will stretch may invest in a walker should it get much lower to push it in front of me

Once I got to about 260…. Or about 50 lbs. over my typical weight… did friends notice…. This was during Covid times… so not much gathering around. Now at 333lbs.friends glance at my chubby … but no one has commented …. I’m sure they “talk amongst themselves”

I put on somewhere around 50lbs over the past two years, going from 183ish at my lowest to currently 232lbs. So far no one has really said anything about it, which I attribute to a few things:
1. I've always been on the chubby side and have a pretty broad frame as is, which probably makes it hard to tell if/how much I've gained.
2. I've always worn pretty loose/baggy clothes, no matter what I weighed. I just like the style more. so in my day to day life I probably don't look all that much different.
3. my gains have been mostly going to my hips and belly, my face and arms didn't change that much, therefore most people don't really see the new fat I'd say.

I've gone from 145lbs or so at the start of college last year to around 190 now. I'd say people started to notice after about 15lbs, that's when my parents started to hint I should lose some weight. Gets noticeable quite fast especially if you start off relatively skinny I think. Also most of my gain went straight to my belly.

Impossible to hide it now though, especially if I'm in tighter clothes like jeans.

Starting from my current size I reckon I could put on another 10lbs or so without it making too much of a difference in terms of people noticing.

I started around 180 but had previously been as heavy as around 220. I really started gaining when nobody was really paying attention so my mom didn't really say anything till I got to around 230-240 but even then I was still the smallest in my family so I didn't get much flack for it. I moved out and got up to 275 and nobody made any comments when I saw them last so that was odd imo. Cus I was used to small jabs occasionally before I got down to 180... But like after that I didn't hear much.

I think from memory, so a bit hazey but about 260 ish, I started to get comments at high school at 230, 260 was when I felt I look big and as a young person was felt publicly with a anxiety. But now at an older age I don't care what others think so not worrying about hiding or concealing anymore. Also I can gain 30 lbs now and I does not show much, I need 50 plus to see a step in Size. I imagine as you get even bigger that amount get more.

I was really skinny so a 10 lb gain people noticed
