I've heard it comes off from different areas of the body gradually

    Last hired, first fired.


    Women usually lose thighs/butt last; boobs, waists, face, arms, chest first.

    Guys usually keep gut fat/back fat till last.

    Stomach fat is the most difficult to lose, which explains why so many people can't see their abs.

    Yeah for me belly is definitely coming off last...rest of me is already starting to tone up at least though so now next and lastly what will take the most work is my stomach. But then again if you think about it for most of us we probably focused on our stomachs for the longest period of time as far as eating poorly so I think it's justice that it's the hardest to work off.

    I seem to be losing in my tummy first. That's where the fat went on last so it seems to be the first to go. Last for me will be thighs and upper arms. Those were big even when I was thin, so I'm trying to be patient.

    It is definitely different for everyone, but the rule "first on last off" is pretty true. Personally, stomach comes off first and easily, then everything else.

    My body is a walking example of Murphy's Law. Where I want it to come off most is the last place to lose. :laugh:

    it's different for everyone, but generally fat surrounding (ie: protecting) vital organs comes off last (think about it-- how long have you had skinny arms, collar bones, etc, but still battling the belly?)

    so far the order mine has come off is.....



    Stomach (still a long way to go but was the first place noticeable)

    Face

    Lower arms

    Thighs and hips

    Back

    Nothing off my boobs yet and my lower legs were always skinny. Need a lot more off my stomach and would dearly like my upper arms to lose some as i've had enough of looking like i'm carrying hams in my tops!

    Actually it does vary. I lost it in my legs, stomach, face in that order.

    I seem to shrink evenly over my whole body.

    I lose around my ribcage first, then face, arms, hips/muffintop, stomach....hopefully thighs soon!

    I seem to be losing in my tummy first. That's where the fat went on last so it seems to be the first to go.

    Me too, which seems to not be the norm, but I'm happy about it! I never used to have a big tummy (used to be more pear shaped but I think I turned into an apple without a waistline).

    From head to toe. Even though I have lost inches all over the majority come off the top first.

    Seems to come off my upper body first and thats where I gain it last...so I gain bottom to top and lose top to bottom...torture.
    I think its genetic different people lose differently.

    I'm suprised that I seem to have lost most of my weight from my midsection. I've always got an hourglass shape, no matter how much I weight, so it wasn't obvious (to me) that I had gained weight there. But I had.

    Other places I've noticed: back, legs, feet and hands (!), chest, neck, face. I'm feeling slightly deflated in the boob area, but not as much as I'd like.

    Women and men lose differently. Women tend to lose from the head down. We lose the midsection and butt last because that is where we store all that good "child-bearing" stuff! Men tend to lose all over the body at the same time. They literally shrink!

    1- ribcage and chest
    2- mid section
    3- face
    4- back
    5- legs, hips, and arms.

    I tend to hold most of my weight in my upper legs and hips. :( I wish that would go first.

    I find that it is first on and last off. So my hips and thighs get the weight first and then my tummy and arms etc...and when I lose it it comes off my top half first and then my hips and thighs etc later...

    Where it comes off on you first will differ from everyone else...but think...where did you gain it first...that will be the last to go.

    It's actually somewhat individual, depending on diet, and genetics. I lose weight off my waist first, probably because that's the last place it goes, then arms, then thighs. I don't hold much weight elsewhere, it's mostly on my arms and legs, so that stuff is tough for me to lose.

    I'm pretty such you lose fat from all over... and you just notice it easier (and faster) in the places where there was already a smaller amount of fat... hence the fact that you can't target "trouble areas" on your body.

    I've heard the last place you lose is the first place you gain, and vice versa. If you notice your belly getting bigger before the rest of your body, it will go last.

    face
    bum
    belly
    hips
    legs
    arms
    chest
    other

    arrange those into a random order, that's generally what you get.

    I've lost all of my weight in my fingers. 15 pounds.

    And my fingers were already skinny, anyway. :cry:
