Where did you notice the weight loss first?

Just curious.
Generally when I would look in the mirror I wouldn't notice anything different... except in my face. Seems like everything's disappearing there first, which isn't necessarily a great thing... I still think I looked better with a bit more substance in the face....
Now I'm finally starting to notice that I'm losing inches around my waist.
I just wish the thighs would follow along... Haven't noticed anything different there, and I've already dropped 30 lb.

    Everyone tells me they can see it in my face also. My thighs have always been the last place I lose any weight. It gets really annoying when pants are too big around the waist, but tight on the thighs.

    Ugh. I know how that is.
    I want to go down a pants size, because it's way too baggy around the waist, and it's going to start looking weird the more notches I have to go to on my belt. But my thighs make smaller pants too tight.

    I'm not sure. However, I can tell you the first place it comes on for me is my lower stomach and it's unfortunetly that last place to come off as well.

    I first noticed it in my neck of all places. I realized it one day when I was playing indoor soccer. I wear a necklace that my mom gave me several years ago all the time (even in the shower, while working out, or swimming). I was running to the ball in our game and I realized that my necklace was flopping around a lot more when I ran. I then realized that it was hanging lower into my cleavage haha. A couple days later someone mentioned that my face/neck looked thinner.

    For me it's normally my face/neck/chest --thighs, hips, and butt are ALWAYS the last place :(
    Still I'm motivated bc though i can't see it, my clothes are looser so it must be coming off :)

    ive always heard that when you lose weight you lose it from the last place you put it on your body.
    for me i see my loss in the pudge between my bra and my armpit and then my inner thighs (i carry my weight in my belly).

    Per the scale, I haven't actually lost any weight yet, but there is definitely fat being shed and muscle being gained. In just two weeks, I've noticed a considerable change in my abdomen. Pants that were tight in the waist are now comfortable. The band of my sports bra is still tight - as it should be - but not AS tight.

    I'm taking daily pictures (using Photo365 on my iPhone) and I can't see a change in my face yet, but I can definitely see the beginnings of change in my core. Yay!

    Definitely my face/neck. I to hate how nothing has come off my thighs, well almost nothing. Definitely my lower legs are a lot thinner too...its so weird how everyone is different and how it doesn't all come off evenly!

    For me, it's under my arms. My bras were irritating me and even leaving marks on my arms and my sides, but not anymore. Of course, I have only lost 5.5 lbs, but it has made me a little more comfortable already :)

    It's literally top down. Face first, then shoulders became really sculpted and let go of the extra padding, then boobs :(, then waist, then hips. My thighs have yet to see a decrease!

    Boobs. My bras were fitting weird and I realized that I had gone down a cup size.

    My stomach. I woke up the morning after 10lbs were down and felt like I could wind my arms around my waist 8x.

    Then my face. I had a neck again.

    My hip bones made a reappearance and my pants were looser. So thighs, hips, tummy area.

    My bum is still there though, thank god. Haven't noticed anything in my face.

    Fingers, wrists and boobies. Then face, neck and rear. Now if my belly bulge would follow I would be a happy camper !

    NOT my face, lol, I gain there first and lose it there last. Of course that's irritating to me because my face is always one of my fattest areas!! haha. I notice weight lost in the breasts first, unfortunately, and then in my shoulders, sides, and then hips, arms and butt. I notice moat people tend to lose in the face first but definitely not me!:grumble:

    Noticed it in my thighs first, and now it's working it's way up, tummy will probably be the last place to go for me, since I have always had a large midsection :(
