    Lucky you, that's where I'm NOT seeing it. My waist is getting smaller, but that's about it right now. My arms and calves are getting way more defined though. My hips are getting smaller, but my thighs are the same.

    I feel like my boobs are smaller too =(

    I don't see anything, but obviously others do.
    My face looks smaller and my arms and my belly, they say.

    I really only recognised today when I was trying on a shirt for work, I didn't wear in over a year as it was far too tight, that now, if fits nicly. (all the other clothes I have are some sort of stretching material)

    I see it on the scale and also on the messuring tape that something has changed.

    Maybe because I have to lose so much weight, that I have to lose much more than now, to really recognise something with the naked eye.

    I've only lost a little over 5 kilos till now and unfortunately,no such highly noticable change can be seen yet..
    But then,I know my body doesn't change so quickly.Even when I put on a lot of weight,it wasn't that noticable.So I'm being patient - I hope I see some when I'm 5 more kilos down though.

    I've lost 53 lbs and throughout most of my weight loss it was face, arms, legs, boobs, then hips. Stomach was my last place. It's funny how genetics work, huh?

    Oh you know... All those places you just love to see it come off first.. elbows, ankles, wrists, neck. Haha. I heard someone (maybe on here?) liken it to draining a pool. You're going to see the bottom of the shallow end before you see the bottom of the deep end. I'm sure that has no scientific merit, but it makes me feel better when I'm marveling at how pointy my elbows have gotten and how my tummy, thighs and arms look the same.

    my back and chest -_- it's quite annoying but also gratifying because my back and stuff are all bony even though i still have a little tummy

    I see it in my face and my stomach, but everything else looks the same. I have noticed some muscles in my thighs are starting to peek through my fat.

    I stare at my flabby arms every single day... Come on weight loss! It's enough to make me want to give up, it's those days I go for a run. Sometimes I feel better and sometimes I don't.

    What do you all do to push through that?

    Mostly in my back and natural waist area. I am just now starting to see a little bit in "the pooch" and tummy area. I haven't seen much change in arms and thighs (although my arms never really gain much weight but I could definately stand to lose a few inches in my thighs)

    Read success stories here. Seeing people that started out heavier than me and THEY made it.. reminds me I can too.

    My stomach and chest are getting smaller and more lifted-looking, incorporating full-body weight training 4 times a week and 30 min cardio 6 days a week.

    Thank you. I try to get on here and read through to find what has worked for everyone. Wishing this would go by faster...

    I'm seeing it in my back, waist, and boobs. I can't wait to start seeing it in my stomach, arms, and thighs! Hopefully that'll be soon.

    I definitely noticed my face slimed down first, then over my whole body!

    Luckily for me, right where everyone's biggest concern is...

    Collarbones!

    That's how I lose weight too. My arms and stomach are getting smaller, my thighs and hips are staying the same.

    I don't really start to shrink in the thigh area until I hit 145-150 lbs. :^\ Just the way genetics goes!

    All boobs. YAY ME *sarcasm*

    I am probably in the minority but I can't wait to have small boobs again! When I was at my thinnest about 2 years ago I was a small B cup and it was the best- so much easier to dress and workout. Plus I hate wearing bras and when my boobs are small I can just wear a Coobie or something. Not hating on big boobs or people who have/like them, I just personally prefer how I looks and feel with smaller ones.

    So far I am seeing a difference in my face/neck, arms, and collar bone area. Yes, and my boobs. Haha.

    I'm losing a little bit all over.. But something really weird is that I'm losing near my collar bone and shoulder area A LOT. I've had to re adjust a bra like 4 different times since January. Crahzy and satisfying..

    I first started seeing it in my face and neck. Then in my arms. Now my butt and thighs are finally getting smaller. And my waist. But the big poochy belly is still hanging around.

    right now i am not concerned about weight loss. i am concerned about losing body fat/gaining muscle. i have been doing a lot of lifting heavy. i noticed a difference in my pants being too big and my boyfriend noticed the difference in my arms and back.

    People told me that they saw my initial weight loss in my face. I noticed it in my waist because the way my pants felt. If I learned anything from my 3 years/93 lb loss, is one thing - we can't control where we want to lose weight.
