Generally how many Pounds does it take to notice that you have gained weight? 5Lbs.,10Lbs.,20Lbs. or more


What is usually the first tell sign?

After you notice a gain of 10+ Lbs. do you suddenly notice how much more you have been eating and or more calorie laiden snacks etc.?



Obviously there are a lot of variables but just interested in knowing the starting point of a gain or a new gain!

I recently gained 10lbs and didn't realize it until my work clothes came back from the dry cleaner and were suddenly too snug smiley

no noticeable changes in my body or anything. kind of weird.



Did you think they shrunk from the dry cleaners at first?

I have accused the dry cleaners of that .........I am sure they get this complaint a lot.

Questions about noticing

How much really shows is based on how much your current/recent weight was. Five pounds on someone who weighed say one hundred and ten is far more noticeable than five pounds on someone who was say two hundred and ten pounds. I have gained around fifteen pounds in the last year or so. I notice pants are a lot tighter around the waist and my belly is a lot bigger. I used to try to stay under two hundred pounds when I was in the military reserves, now I'm at two hundred fifteen. So ten or fifteen pounds does "show".
