    my face always thins out first which is nice!
    Also my upper stomach and the little bit i do gain on my arms and back. Of course last is my belly and thighs.

    The very first place I noticed were my fingers. Uh, I just did ALL this work to lose weight in my FINGERS?! So frustrating because I didn't "see" it anywhere else... but then I did some side-by-side comparison pictures and notice it in other places because of that ... so I definitely recommend doing that! I am a person that needs to see it to believe it, so that is keeping my motivation up.

    I actually had this same conversation with my co-worker about an hour ago. I, too, want to lose unwanted tummy baggage. Yet, my body wants to take weight away from my legs first. In the past I have dealt with losing weight in places such as my hands, feet, breasts, and face. Which was fine with me, but eliminating the tummy area would have been better =)

    I notice it most in my face too! It's weird... But I don't mind as I hate having that extra fat under my chin. Then it's my fingers (I notice my rings get looser) and last of all my waist which is my problem area like a lot of people's!

    My boobs don't seem to change all that much which I think is probably a good thing as they're not massive in the first place!

    My butt goes first :sad: If I could keep my overweight butt I would. Now I have the butt of a young boy :cry:

    I would LOVE :love: If the first place was my face. At my skinniest I still have 4 chins....

    I too am a candy apple on a stick, so my legs and butt just get thinner and thinner and stomach is last to go. I have never really kept at it long enough to lose my belly or boobs, but as a previous responder said, really hoping to this time.

    I always lose in my arms and legs first, which leaves me looking like I'm Kermit the frog. I hate it!!!

    Yep - Always boobs too! :(
    Glad I am not alone!
    Next is my neck and chest area, I look super thin there but still have a tummy and butt! Annoying! Tummy is last to go! :(

    arms and face first

    I want to lose my waist the most and of course that's the last place I lose. It is so freakin' stubborn!

    OP, I feel your pain. I look like Humpty's sister too.

    My boobs are always the first thing to go ((which upsets me....and my hubby lol)) but i WANT it to go from my lower abdomen first...that very lower part of your belly....if THAT would go away I could be down a pant size fast!!

    Hands and face first, then my waist and back. Boobs are finally getting smaller (used to wear a G) and it seems like my lower tummy flapnasty will never catch up, even though it's smaller than it used to be.

    Definitely my butt, which sucks because that's the part that bothers me the least.

    I guess I notice a little all over. But I like to see the loss in my face, butt and thighs :) Oh... since hitting 30 the tummy is very reluctant to go! I'm working on that with strength training :)
