Where did you notice you started losing weight? I've lost almost 12 lbs now...I can't really tell a difference ( I'm pretty sure my scale isn't lying to me) so I've lost it but I'm not sure where lol...I think my chest area looks a little smaller but I really can't tell...guess I should be using a measuring tape

    Hopefully you are feeling it in your clothes. 12 lbs is huge and sometimes we don't see it in ourselves but I bet if you tried carrying around 12 lbs of potatoes for an hour or so you would certainly feel the difference!

    I've lost 13lbs and my pants are definitely lose. I've also noticed that my arms and face look more lean.

    My face, neck and chest are always first and then my calves and thighs.

    my face. i can look in the mirror and tell if i am up a few pounds or down a few pounds. and my belly. i don't weigh myself anymore, or take measurements, so it is all about what i see in the mirror and how my clothes fit.

    congrats to everyone on their weight loss!

    Thanks everyone I know it's usually hard for you or someone else to tell a difference when they see you everyday

    I'm a top-down kinda girl, which is really quite sad, since I'm a bottom up gainer. >_< My face thins out, I lose my boobs, and THEN AND ONLY THEN do I start losing my gut.

    Definitely measure...looking at myself, I dont feel like Ive lost anything at all even though Im 9lbs down. Ive lost a smidgen here and there on my lower body which is what Im focused on, but my upper body..huge difference.

    Not exactly a win though...I need MORE breasts..not LESS!!! Im now swimming in my bras. Sucks. But whatever... Point is, even though I feel like my lower body isnt budging, the tape measure doesnt lie. Progress is progress.

    My collarbone first. Then, my cheeks.

    I've lost 25kgs and I first lost it from my tummy area, then some from bum and chest then thighs seemed to be last. Then it become more evident in my face and the cycle continued.

    Usually my calves look the best first. Likely because I do a lot of HIIT and the legs get the best work out from that. I wish my arms would tone up! Seems like those are the last to do anything and it's frustrating because that's the one thing I want to look better the most!

    Are you doing any exercise along with weight loss? Although it's not needed for weight loss, dieting alone will usually just portray a smaller version of your current self.

    The tightness of my clothes. 5 lbs is enough to make tight fitting pants fit just right. 10 to 12 lbs and I may even go down a size. I'm about 40 lbs overweight so YMMV.
