When you lose weight, which part of your body starts shrinking first? Which part is the most stubborn?

For me, I seem to lose weight quickly in my face, neck, back and thighs.

My calves and tummy are VERY stubborn. I can live with thick calves, but the tummy fat is seriously unwanted! My waist size went down a bit, but I think most of that is from my lower back, and not the front side of my waist...

    My face, neck, and stomach are the first to show. I can usually tell about what my weight is day to day from the difference in the way my stomach feels when I wake up in the morning.

    But- my upper legs and arms NEVER EVER change. Very frustrating! As I try and fit into different pants, the waists will be way too loose but the pang legs are still SUPER tight on my legs. My arms too - they make tank tops very difficult.

    I lose in my face and waist first. My hips and thighs are stubborn, but they do go down eventually and my chest DOES NOT BUDGE. Last year I lost 30 pounds and my chest was the same from the time I started until the time I stopped. My band size went down, but not the boobs.

    I don't really pay attention to my arms, but I'm pretty sure they're slow too.

    My favorite pair of purple velvet kitten heel shoes were the first article of clothing to get too big to wear. So... my feet? Really?! :laugh:

    Other than that, I think I shrank rather uniformly.

    I think I notice it in my face and my waistline first. I'm 5'10 and have it very evenly distributed all over, which is sort of a blessing, I guess. Upper arms are rather stubborn now that I just have a desk job.

    I forgot - my boobs NEVER change. Just had my first mammogram in which I was told they were extremely dense and not much fat tissue, so that's probably why.

    So far I've lost in my face, my legs and my boobs. My tummy is taking forever. I dislike having my tummy stick out more than my boobs...

    My face, chin, neck area are the first to go. I have a roundish/ovalish face naturally, but it was great to see some cheeks in there at some point haha. And of course, the boobies... Sigh.

    Everything else is slow. Stomach, butt, legs, arms, everything!

    Face and collarbone area, then back, and waist. (Boobs, hips and thighs are very stubborn. But everytime I gain that's where it seems to go first.) My arms are pretty solid, not much to lose there.

    Tends to be over my boobs and hips, which is rubbish as it seems to make my middle look bigger, and it's the middle that I really need to lose!
