Where are the first and last areas you lose inches?

I feel that this thread has probably been done a million times lol, but I just thought I'd share and start my own today.
My question is, where do you generally first start to notice the weight coming off when you lose? And do any of you guys have that ONE problem area of the body that is always late to the party when everything else is shrinking?
I am a 5'7" 20 year old woman who has ALWAYS been a very obvious pear shape. Even when I was an extremely thin teenager after puberty I always had very very wide hips that I felt self conscious about. I just have wide hip bones to begin with and when I do gain weight I carry most of it in my thighs. Thighs are a huge problem area. So in the last year that i have lost 20 lbs I have noticed this order of loss for me:
-Stomach (Like 4+ inches there and the first thing to come off, no joke)
-Face (Everyone started telling me after about a month or so how different my face was)
-The actual waist and rib area right under the breast which I didn't even realize I carried fat on lol.
-My butt (I've lost around 2 inches there since I have started keeping track about 10 lbs in, so I dont know how much total I have lost there before I started measuring, but it really seems a lot)
-Arms (Another area that I put a lot of weight on when I gain, but it comes off a lot sooner than the thighs. It's still an ongoing struggle, but I have seen improvement)
-Thighs (Yes, last but not least you guessed it. I have MAYBE lost a half an inch total compared to all the dramatic inches lost off of my butt and stomach.
Also, I have not lost any size on my boobs, which I feel is a blessing as this seems to be the first place many women lose it from. Still a solid C cup! I am hoping to just bypass that shrinkage area completely! lol. :bigsmile:
I'm curious to see where you guys stand, especially the women and other pear shaped women like myself! Feel free to write your order list up as well.

First place I lose is my stomach. Last place is my butt.0

First place: Butt, thighs & hips.
Last place: Waist and belly. NEVER comes off my chest for some reason. End result gets a bit Kate Upton-y.0 -

First: My stomach and back. I was pleasantly surprised at how my back looked after losing 15 or so pounds.
Last: My arms and legs, and fortunately, my chest! My calves have always been big. Through losing weight in my stomach, it's almost like my chest is growing. xD0 -

Lower back and belly is hardest for me0

Oddly enough I seem to lose weight in that under the boob/rib cage area first. I'm 315 lbs and I've lost 15 so far, and that is the only place I've noticed change. Well, maybe my calves but I think i'm just crazy on that one.0
-
Belly and back are really tough for me. I lose quickly in my arms and legs.0
-
First: People comment on my face...probably because they're too polite to say "boobs!"
Last: Gut/abdomen0 -
I seem to loose weight fairly evenly, but I've noticed it a little more around my hips. My belly is my first to gain and last to lose area.0
-
First: Chest/neck/upper waist? If that makes sense haha
Last: Belly, can't get that thing to budge for the life of me0 -
Face and bum are first... The last time I lost weight I never lost anything from my boobs, They actually appeared bigger because I had lost from around my rib cage etc. So my band size went down and my cup size went up! Hope that happens this time!! :laugh:0
-
I look at myself everyday... harder for me to notice than other people.
So thank god for measurements!!
Lost
Waist -10 inches
Hips - 6 inches
Chest - 3 inches
Thigh - 5 inches (each of course)
Honestly.. I dont know... LOL
I had more to lost around my waist than my hips.
I am going with an even "burner" (EXCEPT.... my chest.. it wont go away!! Have gone from a DD to an I cup)0 -
Boobs are always the first to go... which is fine because there is plenty to spare. Last is my butt!0

First place is my back. Last is stomach and chin, apparently.0
