    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.

    I think it shows in my smile first. :smile:


    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

    It shows first in your mid section most of the time!

    I really don't know anymore, lol. I've lost 12lbs and NOBODY has noticed :(
    and im not that big to start with, i'm 5'11 and 183lbs, came down from 195
    I can't see the loss at all, and apparently neither can anyone else : (

    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:

    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 :)

    It's different for everyone. For me, it has ALL come off my hips. People started noticing about 8 pounds in, but I'm only 5'3" because they rounded up on my driver's license :laugh: So 8 pounds on me is like 16 pounds on a woman who is 5'8", I think.

    I have to say I lost first in my waist. I got measured a few days ago & I've lost 4 inches in my waist!!!:happy: I was so excited!!! My arms are getting more toned also, but my butt doesn't look any smaller to me. Obviously, my butt & hips are getting a bit smaller since I'm fitting back into jeans that were too small for me!:drinker: I think I show in my face also when I lose weight. People are just different. My husband has lost like 20 lbs & no one can tell he ever even had that weight before! I notice his pants are looser, but no one else can see a difference.

    I do weekly weigh-ins on Mondays and monthly measuring on the 1st. I just can't wait to see what (if anything) I've lost!

    My bet is that people have noticed, but don't know how to compliment you!
    Congrats on the losing!!! :flowerforyou:

    Anytime I've lost any amount of weight, people have commented they noticed it in my face first so I guess for me it's the face.

    Don't feel bad, I had lost 26 pounds before anyone noticed!
    But I noticed before then... in my clothes and in the mirror.

    Apparently I lost it off my back first, so while I didn't notice a friend of mine pointed it out. :laugh: I have lost fairly evenly... 11 inches off my bust and hips and 9 off my waist. I had probably lost 20lbs before anyone noticed, but I was loosing off of everywhere at once. A coworker had gone on holidays for 2 weeks and when she came back told me that it looked like I had lost half my face :laugh: :laugh: I think it has become old news to people as most don't say anything to me anymore. :laugh: :laugh:

    I find that all of a sudden I will notice some part of me is significantly smaller.

    i think i'm losing it off my chest/back first. Not necessarily my boobs, just my chest, does that make sense? I was wearing a bra today that used to be super tight on me and my chest would be hurting by the time i got home. Today I noticed the strap across my back kept sliding down. :)

    I hope I don't start losing my boobs though. I've only got B's to begin with! lol
