    One of the weirdest things that I wasn't expecting was that I went down a half shoe size. I thought it was weird that I would go UP a shoe size so late in life. I never attributed that to weight gain... until I lost 25lbs (a couple of years ago) and all my shoes were too big.

    The first thing I noticed....

    My face was slimmer and clearer (had acne breakouts) and I felt like I had more energy to do what I wanted. :)

    Honestly? My thighs shrank an abnormal amount - 2" each within the first few weeks. I noticed my stockings fit better almost right away.

    I lost a cup size. Always the 1st to go. then i notice my skirts weren't so tight around my waist and hung on my hips (like they were supposed to)

    Things just firmed up instead of jiggled. I wasn't a different size just firmer.

    the first thing i noticed was just feeling good in general.

    i'm not sure if it was that i felt better in my skin, or if i was eating healthier, or if it was the endorphins from exercise, or if it was just general posi-vibes because i knew i was putting me first for once.

    I'd have to agree with you... I haven't lost 100lbs yet or ran any marathon but just putting myself first feels really great.:bigsmile:

    The very first thing I noticed was my cheek bones. I could see them more pronounced in my face and was like Eddie Murphy in The Nutty Professor!

    My stomach got flatter and I do strength training as well, so my quads got so much bigger and rock hard! :happy:

    My hip bones started to stick out! And my boobies went BYE-BYE! LOL! But that's okay though... I still have a bad @$$ booty ;)


    Boobies......my hubby is not happy ;(

    Me three!!
    well, no hubby to complain but I REALLY miss having boobies. Who knew they were so important to feeling girly?!?!
    As soon as I get a job, I am marching straight to the doctor's office to fix that problem. Can't wait!

    The first thing I noticed was that I felt better! Next was that my pants weren't cutting me in half. My husband was convinced that my chest had gotten smaller but I wasn't. So I tried on a blouse that I previously couldn't wear because the girls wouldn't fit beneath the confines of the fabric and gues what? IT FITS NOW!

    My fitness. I have to walk 15-20 min pretty much every day to the bus station from college so when I found I did it a lot quicker and was not out of breath at all I was delighted!
    I've also noticed my legs and arms slim down and tone up, and the area around my bust too. Need to work on my stomach though as I can't see too much of a difference there.

    I discovered my collarbones, my extra chin disappeared, and my knees became knobby enough that I had to put a pillow between them to sleep comfortably.

    Like many others, the first thing I noticed was that I was having to pull up my pants repeatedly because they had become loose. I gave in and bought a smaller belt LOL

    This happened recently: my forearms have more definition and my shoulders are a little slimmer. Even at my heaviest, there wasn't much fat on my forearms (it's everywhere else, lol). I've been here a little over 5 weeks, halfway through 30DS, and I see muscles on my forearms now!

    Old pants fit more comfortably. I can feel my pelvis more (guess that's what that is lol). The appearance of knuckles. I've always had little chubby paws. I could see exactly one knuckle, now I can see two and the beginnings of the third lol. Not sure what I've lost as I haven't weighed in.
