What do you lose along with weight?

The shocker was shoe size.
Ring sizes, clothing sizes and bra sizes were less shocking.
Overall "volume" in terms of my fat rolls (back fat), side boob rolls, stomach, FUPA, and yes, boobs (in both band and cup). A nice fitting bra and some compression gear help with most of it. I like to joke that I went from a 50 H to a 34 long.
I also clearly lost my filter because I answer weight questions pretty honestly.7 -
Everyone loses weight a little differently, especially between men and women. My wife went down a cup size just losing 10-15 lbs when she started really getting into running in college and that was kinda just about it. Ex-wife of a friend of mine lost a bunch of weight and it all came from her midsection and back/shoulders such that she actually went down in band size but up in cup-size (and subsequently complained about shopping for the expensive bras others have mentioned). That same friend loses from his rear, legs and chest first, keeping his gut and roundish face. On the other hand, I visibly get slimmer in my torso and face first before anything else, frustratingly always have carried more fat on my chest than desirable; ~14% body fat but far more traces of flabby man-boobs than I should like. Biggest thing I remember losing those is my "winter coat". I grew up as a chunky kid, lost about 30 lbs (6'1" ~205lbs down to 165lbs) the summer/fall senior year of high school, and that winter I was cold ALL THE TIME. Never going back though, honestly one of the best things that ever happened to me.5
