How many pounds do I have to lose to notice a difference?

I am 18 years old, 5 ft tall, currently 103-105 lbs aiming for 95 - 98 pounds
Being a short girl, I look kind of chubby and I''ve started going on a diet three weeks ago.

I don''t starve myself; I still have cakes and cookies occasionally but I just cut down on the amount of food I intake. I also changed my very sanitary lifestyle by walking about 40 minutes after school 3-5 times a week.

So I''ve definitely lost weight (about 5 pounds) since the beginning of this month but I don''t notice any difference in my appearance.

How many pounds do people normally have to lose to see the results?

Plus, any tips on losing weight on thighs, cheeks, and abdominal area?

Thanks!
I know I''m not fat but I want to look THINNER. I look a little chunky because I tend to be quite curvy.

Recommended Answer:
Focusing on pounds wont do you any good, focus on losing fat and gaining muscle. In the end if you gain 5-10lbs of MUSCLE, you''ll look amazing and not "chubby" at all. Muscle weighs more then fat, and takes up less space.

• STOP. You must be TINY. I''m 5''2 and 130 lbs.
• Its not about the number of pounds you''re losing. You want to turn all the fat into muscle to notice a difference! Start doing endurance, aerobic, and speed training ASAP!
• I say you can notice a little over 6 lbs.
• Supplements really won''t do much. Situps or use a machine for stomach crunches. They are really fast.
