    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!

    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:

    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

    I have the feeling it kinda depends how you're built. I think you lose fat all over, but in the places there was less of it, the change is noticeable first. If I lose a cm of fat all over, my face will reflect that more noticeably than my waist, because that's where my body likes to put my fat. I think this is also why it is hard to notice the loss at first, because you kind of keep the same shape as your shrink, so while everything is getting smaller, it still seems to have the same proportions, so it can be easy to overlook. I couldn't see the change on myself till I passed 20 lbs, and nobody really said anything until I got to about 25-30lbs lost.

    I think I'm just an oddball. I've lost over 12 pounds now, and most people still haven't noticed. I can't see a difference, but all of a sudden the legs of my jeans are really lose. I'm apparently losing thighs first! This could be very awkward (and funny to see) if it doesn't even out soon, since my friends tease me about my huge hiney! (Not in a mean way, in the "can I sit my drink here" way...)

    Depends on where you started gaining it first.....where you gained the weight first is the last to go!

    I first noticed it in my wrists and hands because the watch I had got too big for me and my rings no longer were tight. In fact the ring I had to get sized up I'm soon going to need it sized back to its original size for it to stay on my finger. My ankles were first too since I used to have very swollen ankles.

    For me it was my legs and oddly, my toes, face, then chest (oh how I miss it. lol), then everything else. I seem to lose one inch for each pound I lose. Almost 40lbs and inches lost so far. :)

    It is very true that it is different for each individual. For me, I am noticing it in my face and my hips this time around. Also, I never lost any of my chest volume even when losing 90lbs in the past....just went from a 38 to a 36 :-)

    yeah. 5'11 too. I'd say from 190 to 160 no one even had a clue. Around 155 people started saying "wow, you look great" or "wow, you are so skinny". But before no one said a thing. I'm 147 (most comfortable around this weight).

    I imagine it's different for everyone but I was curious myself. I'm lucky in that I lose pretty evenly although I notice it most in my waist and my boobs because my bra gets looser. I think the most stubborn parts for me are the tummy and thighs, that's where I'm slower to lose. I have noticed that my cousin and aunt loose in the face though. My cousin lost weight for her wedding, I think she went from a 16 down to either a 10 or a 12 which isn't super skinny yet her face looked gaunt.

    Perhaps you guys lost the weight pretty evenly so people didn't notice, especially since you're tall and carry weight a lot better than those of us of shorter stature. My mom actually has a friend (I use the term loosely) who hadn't seen her in a while and told her she looked huge even though she'd lost 20lbs! She's totally inappropriate but it just goes to show how oblivious some individuals can be.

    On the scale. :drinker:

    I gain and lose weight pretty evenly everywhere. I don't really notice one area reducing faster than others.

    I guess it varies from person to person, my excess weight dropped from my legs first, the stomach was the last to go...typical

    This time around the first thing I noticed was, oddly enough, that my pants were looser at the knees. A little after that came the great gap in the backs of all my pants. Then my sports bra got so big as to be unusable (not that my boobs got small because 26 lbs in I'm still like a D). And then the only pants that fit were my mothers size 6's. Its been interesting. A lot of people I know claim that they notice either waist or hips first but I've basically had the same body proportions since puberty so its easier to see the change in other areas.
