    The first place I noticed was my lower back fat (ugh). Then my collarbone area, hips and arms. Still have fat on my thighs and tummy.

    I lose and gain evenly all over. The last place that retains fat on me when I am at my lowest weight is my legs.

    Last gained, first lost. For me that means my upper abdomen goes first, but not the lower belly. Then face, arms, breasts. I probably won't lose from my lower body for months, and it will be hard going to get my thighs back to anything resembling my pre-gain days (which are now 20 years ago). I know from having been very fit before that my belly will likely remain a little softer forever unless I really work to get to a lower BMI and lower body fat %, and I doubt it will be worth it at my age. I'll be happy with being lighter and stronger and a healthy weight that will be relatively easy to maintain--no desire whatsoever to aim for fitness model stats!!

    I lost weight in my face and arms first. Then my chest and stomach. My legs are stubborn and are definitely the last place I lose weight. I have about 25lbs to go before I get to my goal and I swear it's all in my legs. Lol

    I gain weight the same way you'd layer on butter. All over, all at once, expanding slowly. I lose weight the same way. Like slowly peeling off layers of butter, lol. Which means I get tiny changes all over. Which starts to get frustrating when you see inches moving but in teeny tiny amounts. Until I think about how they all add up.

    Still, it'd be awesome to have slender legs. I JUST GOTTA WAIT for the layers of butter-fat to dissipate.

    Patience is hard, lol.

    I’m the same! I notice from my middle first as that is naturally my smallest part. It did mean that suddenly everyone noticed my weight loss because the whole of me was so much smaller!

    I lost weight around my face and neck and shoulders first. Not where I really want to lose it, but I'll take it! The rest will follow!

    Same. I wear two completely different sizes on my top half and bottom half. My thighs just seem to be in love with thier size and refuse to budge... Waist line, that shrinks fairly quickly.
