Where did you lose fat when you began losing?

vivemme

So i'm measuring my body once a week to see where the inches come off from: arms, chest, waist, thighs etc - and I thought i'd ask where you first noticed or saw weight loss when you began?

My chest and neck lost fat first - ohh, if only it had been my thighs... !!

I'm losing everywhere except, apparently, my arms.

I finally felt shoulderblades yesterday for the first time (FELT, not SAW, but still). I'm definitely losing from my midsection because I've been able to fit into smaller-waisted pants recently, but it's hard to see because the *shape* of my stomach and sides has stayed almost exactly the same so far, just on a smaller scale.

I guess everywhere. My lower stomach, however, is being a stubborn a.s.s.hole about letting go.

The first place for me seemed to be my shoulders and face.

Depends how you look at it. I've lost the most in centimetres from my hips, but the greatest percentage of the starting measurements has actually been from my wrists which are 20% smaller than 4 months ago.

I've mostly been losing weight from everywhere at once, with a little bit extra coming off my belly. It's a little annoying as it makes it hard to see much difference, but hey, the numbers don't lie!

Face first, then bust, then back. My legs are muscular so they were the last to look significantly different.

I have seen a reduction in my stomach such as waist and hips and my legs. My arms just reduced an inch or two

First was boobs and face, then stomach, and now 20lb later I'm starting to lose everywhere else

As always my boobs! I'm a breast cancer survivor. I had a lumpectomy so I need to hold on to what I got!

Get your Mammogram. It saved my life.

I first noticed in my arms, face, and neck. Then my thighs, butt, and belly. It's been fairly even actually.

Boobs

Face

First was neck and face. Then collarbone. I don't really carry weight in those areas so I only had a double chin when my weight was hovering in the range of 280-300 lb, and already had visible collarbone at 250 or so. Some of that is age (was losing most of my weight in mid 30s) but obviously everyone's different, too.

My lower belly and hips/thighs got smaller next, which showed up in how my clothes fit, pretty drastic changes in a short time in that area. Next my hands and forearms, which was annoying because I have oddly small/thin hands for the rest of my body even at my HW.

Next I started to notice my bras weren't fitting properly and I still have a large cup size even after 130 lb loss, but a lot of that was back fat I lost. It seemed like that went away all at once and my back suddenly looked very very different.

Last for me is always my upper abdomen right around the waist area...nearly impossible for me to see a noticeable difference there, even when I'm losing inches there it is still the last to go. At my lowest weight it's still a little bit of a spare tire but the minute I go up 5 lb, it's noticeable again so that is what I battle with most.

Neck and bust

sofchak

Face then arms were the first two places

ZhivagosGirl

Hips, thighs and bust.

I'm the opposite; lost chest and legs first, wish it had been my stomach! My tummy is as stubborn as I am. I feel like whatever your body shape is, your body will maintain that shape as long as it possibly can. We'll all look different at different times in our journey.

GemstoneofHeart

My legs, upper and lower, have had the most significant impact (thanks running!!!).
Face has also lost a lot, and everywhere else has just lost an "all over" reduction. I've lost 45 pounds.

The area I am now desperately wanting gone is my tummy and love handles. Especially love handles!

jdlobb

I lose from my stomach first, which probably makes some people jealous. The one time in my life I could see some abs I still was at almost 20% bf, when I was 19. But I hold on to fat in my love handles and thighs like crazy, and it's super stubborn. Even when I came out of boot camp wearing a size 34 jeans and with my abs starting to come through I still had terrible love handles.

andysport1

Hands and feet, wedding ring down 2 sizes, feet down 1 shoe size, then upper arms, face & belly

claridiva2000

Tits.

Anna_137

First 20lbs was was most noticeable on my back/shoulders.

oreo_cookies_1992

Boobs and hips.. Wish it was from my thighs ughhh lol.

rosie38c

my back i.e. under my boobs and my hips/bottom, sadly my tummy now I'm an apple is the slowest...

kristen8000

Weight loss always hits my face first...then hips/thighs, then back/arms, then stomach. I rarely lose anything off my chest (if anyone know the magical way to do so, I'd pay big money for it LOL). I have 5lbs more to go to goal (vanity pounds) and I'm expecting most of it come off my stomach.

hesn92

Thighs and stomach

sarahlifts

boobs go first

last place to leave is waist, hips, butt. First place it comes on is waist, hips, and butt.

Need2Exerc1se

Waist was first. Hips/thighs last.

alondrakayy

First place honestly are my legs. It's very frustrating seeing as how that's the one place I wish I wouldn't lose the most. Also, maybe my face? Idk. I feel like I look sick if I lose too much but then if you see my little belly pouch you'd realize that I'm not starving myself.

narspips

I haven't been taking photos or measurements so it's hard to be sure. But so far it feels like back first, now hips and thighs, and my face is starting to look a bit slimmer.
