Why can't I lose the fat from my thighs instead of my finger

OK, so I'm just venting, not asking a real question. I've lost about 10 lbs and 1/2 a ring size. I am now a ring size 4 instead of a 4.5. This is crazy!! If I keep up at this pace I will have to get my wedding ring sized to a 3!! I'm not sure that is even possible. I went to the jeweler and they said they can do a 4, but they said a 4/5 was pushing it when it was made because of all of the side diamonds!! Aggggghhhhh!!!!! Come on, already fat cells!!!!

    lol! I've lost in my feet, my face, my hips a little... MAYBE my thighs. If the thighs were the first to go, no one would stick to their diet plan. :P

    Almost 2 years ago, I lost about 37 lbs. I only dropped one pant size. Yes, you could really tell I had lost weight in my face, and my waist shrunk, but the tush and thighs barely budged. It's a guessing game of where the weight will come from.

    I did have the ring thing too. My engagement ring was 7.75, and I was sized at a 6.5 when I got my wedding bands. I had to have my engagement ring sized down, too.

    The first thing I noticed getting looser was my ring. The second thing my jeans around my thighs. I feel great loosing from my thighs but come on I want it gone from my arms and belly more. Why is it that we always loose from the areas that we want last?

    You should be able to get ring guards to use in rings that are too big. I had to do that to a couple of rings I inherited from my mom. They come in gold and silver. Your jeweler should be able to help!

    Congrats on your progress!! I cannot wait until I can wear more of my rings on more fingers!!

    Start running. Thighs will shrink. My thunder thighs are getting pretty well toned in just 2 months of running.

    People always notice it in my face, too, which I appreciate. I also wish it would dissappear from my belly! I had to use the ring guard thing when I first got my engagement ring and I think they are terrible-they poke me! Plus, I would only want to do that on costume jewelry. Not my wedding/engagement ring. I'll wait until I'm at my goal (should be June-ish) and just get it sized then. :cry:
