    Definitely my stomach. I really haven't noticed a difference anywhere else unfortunately. I really need it gone off the hips and butt to fit into old jeans.

    I've definitely seen a difference in my arms and also my tummy is a lot flatter...mostly though I've noticed a difference in the way my clothes fit which is nice :)

    Other people noticed it in my face and neck first. I couldn't see it.

    I noticed it in my stomach and legs first. I still couldn't "see" it in the mirror, but I felt it in my pants and dropped a few sizes.

    I'm now at the point where I can see it in my stomach ... but it took nearly a 60 pound loss for me to really be able to see it in my reflection. However, I was extremely heavy (over 300 lbs) so I think it just takes longer to notice than in someone who isn't so heavy.

    Best of luck to you!

    I agree with the "can't see" it but I can "feel" it must be coming from my tummy/waist/hips a bit because my pants are fitting better. I do take measurements, but over the last two weeks they haven't really changed (even though I've lost 7 pounds). Bodies are interesting things!

    I noticed it in my waist, but friends/family noticed in in my face.

    I feel like I lose from the extremities in, My fingers and wrist feel smaller (my rings and my watch are fitting better). I may have lost some from my waist/hips as my pants are starting to get loose.

    My mom noticed my weight loss having not seen me for a few months but no one else has said anything.

    I've lost a bit in my middle.. Mostly my sides. I can see my collarbones a little more clearly then before too.. 24lbs lost, and I don't really see anything substantial lost yet.

    The first difference I noticed was actually my mood and energy level - I noticed a dramatic change within the first two weeks of changing my diet and starting to exercise.

    But as far as my physical appearance goes - my thighs were the first thing to really get slender. I started getting a ton of compliments. I walk a lot, and do a lot of squats and lunges, so I think that I toned that area. After that, my stomach/hips and face changed a lot.

    Upper body, definitely! I can see a major difference (so can my shirts - NOT good hahahah). I guess it's a start, right?

    Well, besides internal confidence and pride... on the outside I first saw a difference in my waist... then I saw the cut in my arms... I'm waiting for the thighs and hips to catch up to the rest of my successes...

    I really haven't noticed anything yet, but my dad said to me this past weekend, "Are you losing weight, your face looks thinner". :smile: Made me happy!

    I've lost 7 pounds and I am feeling it in my waist. My pants are starting to sag, which is driving me crazy. Maybe there is a shopping trip in my near future!

    I lose it in my waist. My legs are the last to show any sort of improvement.

    you can really see it in my face, I think every one loses it differently if your the type of person that gains all over then when you lose you should see it all over that's how i gained it and it is how it's coming off . because of that i lost 30 pounds and only 2" off my waist every thing is smaller now ( well all most everything :tongue: )

    My waist & belly area :happy: They say you lose weight where you last gained it and vice versa. The first to come is the last to go, etc.
