Fat experiences

From being completely unnoticeable to very noticeable how many pounds did it take for people around you to start realizing you’re putting on weight?

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.

I started with 150, so after the first 10 you could already see the difference. As it was written above - it is visible faster on a slim person.

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 know your gain makes me talk to my self! 😉😍

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.
