Where does weight loss show first?

What I mean is, when you lose weight, where does it start showing first? I've heard that it shows in your face first. I'm just curious and figured I'd give it a shot and see if anyone knows.

    It seems pretty individual.
    Some people see it in the face, some in the chest, some in the butt, some in the tummy... It all depends on the individual.
    I see it in my waist and tummy first, but a few weeks ago a friend noticed cus she said my face looked skinnier. haha

    My butt. lol I have no butt but I lose whatever I have there, then my face. I've been dieting a month or so and lost over 10 pounds. But I think it shows everywhere really, in little ways!

    It is different for everyone. I lost weight in my face first but my friend was the exact opposite. She lost from her waist first and her face was one of the last places that was noticable.

    I think you see it in the face first due to the dietary changes. You reduce the sodium and junk, and the swelling goes out of your face.

    As far as actual weight, last on, first off!

    Butt first. I have noticed that the puffiness in my eyes is decreased too and I have cheekbones again.

    It takes some time for your new body to settle in. A lot of times people don't even notice my weight loss until I've stopped dieting for awhile.

    Face and arm pits (I know that's gross, but all of the sudden I noticed they weren't so squishy).

    Hmm, interesting replies all around. I especially liked the post that said they notice it in their smile. :smile:
    I have only lost 5lbs, but I feel like my face looks thinner.
    I mostly want it to show difference in my tummy! Argh! That's my main problem area, then my legs, then my arms in that order. I don't think my butt really changes too much, it's always been kinda curvy even when the rest of me was skinny, lol. And I don't think my boobs will go down too much, considering I've had C's since I was 11 or 12 (and actually thin)! They're a D now, but, honestly, I'd be glad to get rid of some of them! :wink:

    I'm with you! I've lost 17.5 lbs, and I can't see a difference anywhere! No one's asked me if I've lost weight, yet, either. :ohwell:
    I keep hoping that there will come a day when all of a sudden it shows! :wink:

    The more fat I burn, the better my boobs look.





    +1 for being a guy.

    Unfortunately I always feel like I lose it from my chest & my butt first :( I already have like no butt so I hate when I lose it from there haha But my family says they notice it in my face & that my waist has definitely lost some inches. Some people lose it all over and lose their face last.

    Love it, very cool quote. People have told me my overall demeanor seems better too. A gleam in my eye, so to speak. I was at church last week and a few people commented on how good I looked. Made my wife take a second glance at me to see what all the fuss was about. LOL

    Ladies, I'm sure that means that you both looked great to begin with and the only ones who noticed that you even needed to lose weight in the first place was YOU. Being so tall, you can carry the extra weight better than someone shorter than you without looking overweight. Keep up the great work!:flowerforyou:

    I believe too that it depends for every person, because our body reacts differently. For me, I noticed it first on my butt, but mostly everyone noticed my face (which I wasn't seeing personally) that was getting thinner.

    Now I'm getting comments almost every day and it's a great motivation to keep on going!

    Just keep up your efforts!

    By the way, I'm 5'6'' and it took at least 15 pounds until someone noticed...

    I've only lost 8lbs but I noticed it first in my chest and so did EVERYONE else. I went from wearing a 42FF - 42DD. Needless to say my boyfriend wasn't so happy but I'm finally able to buy "sexy" bras! :)

    I find I lose weight right under my boobs at first, which is already the smallest part of my body. I kind of notice it in my arms at first too. After about 20 lbs (I lost 40 lbs 2 years ago) I find my stomach starts to get smaller and I've never lost enough wait that i've noticed a chance in my legs. I do notice when I work out more the chances in my muscles in my legs though. I don't usually notice any change in my face until i randomly see a picture after 20-30lbs and i dont recognize it aha.

    In the first week, my tummy gets flatter, then the butt an hips follow. Face is last for me :)
