Weight Loss - Where do you see it first?

This is going to sound weird, but every time I lose weight, I notice it around my hips. It's not a tape measure thing, but a difference in the shape. I have a lot of muscular issues around the hips, so maybe I just noticed it quicker there, because there is a lot of daily focus on my muscles there. I've also noticed this time that my neck seemed to lose weight - from photos, not because I look at my neck often.

My husband's clavicle is becoming prominent - even though he has 60lbs still to lose. He's quite excited because even though he's only down 10lbs from where he started and even the tape measure is not really changing much, he's noticing a change to the shape of his body. He told me today "That means it's working"....LOL

Thought it would be fun if everyone could share their success spot. I like to celebrate the small successes as well as the big ones.

    I always see mine in my face. My cheeks are not as round, and my chin sticks out more. That is how I know I am losing weight.

    Arms and legs ide say, actually starting to see sum muscles again, was beggining to wonder if they were still under there.

    Can't tell it in the mirror but definitely my face. In looking at pictures, I didn't have a face a year ago, and I have one now!

    The biggest thing that I've noticed is my wrist. I have a bone there, and dimples! Visible dimples!

    I can also tell my stomach has gotten smaller. I still have rolls, but they are much smaller, and less distance in-between them, lol. They are easier to hide, but even when they aren't hidden, they definitely are nothing like they used to be!

    I saw it in my face first. I'm hoping the rest of me catches up now! :laugh:

    Normally this is where I too see the changes start along with my face.:flowerforyou: With no chest to speak of this is the first place I see that 5# when it comes back and when it leaves. Changes my profile.

    Definitely my legs, which is weird because you'd think it would be where I carry most of my weight, in my hips and belly!

    Crazily enough, the first place I notice the loss is my hands. This time I'm also noticing it in my thighs (I think the running is helping out in that area). Most people notice it in my face however.
