Ladies, where did you see your weight come off from first?

in Introduce Yourself
I have lost 10 pounds. I wasnt sure if I was imagining this because I refused to weigh myself for awhile. I noticed the top portion of my bra loosening up and the thighs in my jeans. I thought it was all in my head till I weighed myself.

I was wondering where people tend to lose weight at first. I was hoping to lose it in my belly but I can tell by how my jeans fit that hasnt started happening yet.

I am adding a light work out to my diet starting this week. I was only doing calories first. I want to take steps in order to assure I do this right.....its my first real weight loss plan.

    I think its pretty generalized, I notice it around my hips and belly the most though, my clothes are fitting so much better even after only 8 pound.

    When I started this life change just over a year ago I began noticing a difference in my legs first and then in my face. My belly is taking the longest.

    Definitely my upper body - waist, bra line, etc. My @$$ will likely be here for eternity. :smile:

    My body just takes and takes and takes from my chest and upper body, before it even decides on dealing with the 44 inch hips. It eventually caught up but I'm really hoping not to lose anymore fat on top :(

    My weight loss always seems to start at my shoulders and work its way down. Everybody is different though!

    I'm sure that it was all over. I didn't take measurements and the eyes aren't always accurate. I first started noticing it in my arms. I thought my arms had gotten fat prior to that and was probably one of the last things to get really big. My thighs were always fat and still look big at my lowest weight, but I'm sure they are smaller and it's just hard to tell with looking at them for me.

    My waist and upper body. My butt and thighs are always the last to go.

    You first lose fat on your chin, face and chest! It also depends on what work out excercises you're doing :D

    My boobs are always the first to go. I've lost and gained through the years and I have bras ranging in sizes from 36B to 42DD. I'm looking forward to getting back into my pretty bras. :)

    Speak for yourself.

    Also, your exercises don't have anything to do with where the fat comes off first. You cannot spot reduce.

    I think it sort of depends on what body type you've got - apple, pear, etc., and where your body holds on to its fat.

    For me, I have the so-called apple body type, so the majority of my weight is in my abdomen. When I started to lose, it came off of my face, neck, hands, feet. Then the calves, some off the arms, chest. Then some off the thighs - in other words, everywhere BUT the waist.

    At this point, I think most of what's left is all sitting right on the stomach area, because everything else has leaned out.

    I have lost 4 inches off my chest and only 1 on my abs :s Definitely not what I want. I noticed it in my arms first though.

    I lost first in my butt and hips, then thighs and face. Now it has started to come off my belly as well, but I still have 40 lbs to go, and plenty of belly to lose before it's flat again.

    I don't know where I picked this up and how universally true this is, but it's true for me: the first place you lose from is the last place you gained in, and the last place you'll lose anything is the place you first gained. I've lost weight in the past, but I've never lost anything from my boobs (which have been growing continuously since I was 12).

    On this final round, I've lost 11 lbs. I don't see it in the mirror, but I take measurements around belly button, butt and hips. I've lost exactly 4.8 % of both waist (belly button) and butt, but less than 2% from my hips. I haven't measured my thighs but they're the only thing that actually feels different. My inner thighs aren't as "tight" as they were, and the skin is sort of loose now. It's a good thing, because it means they're no longer as packed with fat as they used to be. Also, maybe this will get me closer to where all of my jeans no longer rip there because of my thighs rubbing together.
