    I think i started off as a banana or an hour glass.. depending on if your going by the >9 or >6 ... I lose from my arms first, then belly.. chest and thighs haven't really changed but my stomach is shrinking alot, although my thighs are more toned and firmer from muscle. My hips have pretty much always been kinda bony.

    Everyone is different but for me it's always legs, upper body, then tummy last (in that order). I usually gain in my boobs first though (or at least that is when I notice it).

    ETA: I'm considered a banana/rectangle but I do wonder if I would be an apple if I ever gained a lot if weight (I tend to gain a stomach and rarely gain much on my legs)

    Hourglass and I've always gained weight last in my face and so lose it first in my face. It's why I found it hard to realize just how overweight I was. Pictures of my face and looking in the mirror showed me essentially the same person. Until I hit 210. Then I could see the beginnings of jowls. They were the first things to go when I lost the first 10 pounds.

    Hourglass. It always works its way from out to in. My face and calfs first, then the boobs and natural waist. My hips and thighs are always last to go unfortunately.

    I lose it in my arms and face first. Its kind of annoying because sometimes I look sickly if all you saw was that part of my body. My legs and midsection always have a little squish.

    I am apple shaped as well, I lose it right away in my bum and my face.

    However, I've finally started to see changes in my stomach. I've been at this since November.

    Only exception to this statement, I've been at this since January. Second I lose in my boobs and legs. Last to loose (always the hardest) is my stomach.

    First noticed it in my rear, then my thighs. Then my face started shaping up! I've lost 27 lbs. so far, but I'm stuck there.

    Pear, boobs and thighs .. although I have remarkably small thighs considering I'm a pear .. or maybe they're just small to me because I lost like 7 inches off of them..

    Waist & arms.

    I don't know my body shape? I have big tatas, butt, thighs, and small waist (in proportion to the rest of me).

    Yep, I'm apple shaped too but I am lucky in that I will lose the fat from my tummy first, just wish I could keep it off!! Keep going it will come off eventually!!

    I'm a spoon, according to:

    http://www.shopyourshape.com/calculate-your-body-shape.html


    When I lost weight (before I got lazy and irresponsible and gained it back), I lost it from my waist/hips/face first.

    I am a large hourglass and I lose weight first around my waist, then thighs then arms... and then very last... my hips... -.- so I get the donut effect around my hips, it's bigger than a muffin top and more evil.

    I first lost fat in the place I cared the least about, and the body part I most wanted to reduce?
    That's the last place it seems to hold up. I'd be considered an "apple"
    The belly is my body fat's Alamo.

    I am pear/hour glass. My boobs were the first to go. So sad. :sad:
    My stomach has been stubborn but I think it will be the last to go. My thighs have been getting smaller slowly but my hips have been my best work so far. I've lost a total of 26" so far...

    Hourglass/pear shape. Lost it in my waist and butt first. Arms and thighs are the slowest to lose from, grr.

    I'm apple and lose in my stomach first and then my face. Surprisingly, my stomach loss is very noticeable after 10 lbs. I've recently really noticed in my face.

    Hourglass - I find that I lose fat first in the last place I packed it on.

    For me that's from the core (lost 10 inches each on hips and waist, 6 from the chest), then the extremeties (calves (-3), thighs (-4) and arms (-3)). After 62+ pounds lost, it's pretty evenly distributed now so I hope that the last 20 lbs comes off from everywhere!

    I'm a pear so I lost in my waist first, then lower back, mainly all upper body now my legs are finally getting smaller only because I attack them every work-out lots of squats,lunges, dips,step-up's, and hill climbing!!

    Hey Guys,

    Where did you lose your body fat first while working out. Please include your body shape as well!

    I am an apple shape, and I lost fat from my legs and hips first, yuck! :( I have no hips and I cant do anything about it. Please share your stories!!

    If anyone else is Apple shaped Please share your success story of when you finally got the stomach fat off!! :D

    When I first started to lose weight, I noticed that the fat from my face, or "double chin", would the be the first place the fat would disappear from. Then the fat from my hips, and even my arms, the last place and the most stubborn fat is the lower stomach.
