Lost 7 inches off chest since mid-December

notfromarizona

Quick question: does anyone else's body seem to target one area to lose a ton of weight on, before moving to another?

For me, my face slimmed down drastically by the time I lost 10 lbs. Then it was my thighs.

And now it seems my chest has decided to join them.

I've lost 3 inches off my thighs since October, 7 off my lower chest (band size) and 7 off my chest (cup size) since December, about 4.5 off my hips since October, and a measly 2 off my waist since October.

Is there any reason for this? Right now my measurements are 38-33-39. I'm losing more curves than anything and it's frustrating. I thought I'd look better thinner, but this isn't helping much. Especially since I'm an easy large in the boobs and hips, but still need an XL for my waist.

Any experience/advice? My self esteem is dropping.

Welcome to the itty bitty titty comittee. I'm not only the president, but I'm a member...Seriously, that must suck. I've never been blessed in that area so I've never had to deal with them shrinking. I'm sure they did, it just didn't make a difference. I guess I'm not really any help to you huh?

What excercises are you doing that may have caused you to lose weight on your chest

Lost 4 inches off my abdominal area in my first month. Then .. well 5 over the next 10 months, so it does not always make sense. But I understand .. still having issues cause my face just went on vacation in the end and I lost too much fat. You cannot control where it comes from .. as much as we would like to have that ability.

Mine does this. I have lost over 85 pounds. I carry most of my extra weight in the abdominal area yet that area has been the last to respond. Only for the past 10 pounds or so has the majority of the change in measurements come from my waist. I am FINALLY starting to look like I might actually have a waist. Before that it would pick areas that were relatively thin...first my legs, then my hips (I have relatively slim hips...I don't want to lose anything else there), then my collarbone area, etc. You can't really control it. Just keep going and the areas you want to respond will eventually.

As your body transforms lean muscle will begin to dominate and shape into the best version of yourself. Keep pushing and believe.

Dang...I wish! I've lost a lot of inches from my hips, waist and thighs. Heck, even my feet are thinner!
Chest? Nada. Sure, inches around my rib cage, but cup size has not gone down even one inch. 71 pounds lost, you'd think this would happen.
