Uneven Weight Loss?

I have lost around 90 pounds since March. I am happy with my results and very happy that I am not ending up with the sagging skin that I hear so much about. But, I do notice something else that bothers me a bit. When I look at my body, I see that my right leg is noticeably thinner than my left leg. When I was thin, they were the same. I still have about 20 pounds to lose and wonder if we just lose weight unevenly. Will they even out later? I don't know, do you? Has anyone else noticed this as they lose weight? Or am I just an anomaly?

    Hubby retains more fluid on one leg than the other, maybe that's it. Can you push your finger on it and leave an indentation--that's how the doc checks his.

    Do you use one more than the other or something, so that you'd have more muscle on one side?

    I cannot leave an indent. Hmmm Maybe it is because I am gaining muscle faster on one side than the other. I work them the same at the gym. I thought. My husband does not notice a difference. I definitely see it though.

    One side of my chest is smaller than the other... oh wait separate issue. :ohwell:

    You might want to check with a doctor on this. Could be retention or inflammation issues with just the one leg? GREAT JOB on your weight loss BTW! I really would check with a doc though just to be on the safe side!
