I'm on Week 6 of my diet now - I've probably lost around 13 pounds, but my next weigh in isn't for 2 weeks to check.

I notice my shoulders, arms, neck, face, chin a little thinner, and my skirts are feeling looser at the waist. I don't see any difference in my butt or my thighs, I think my stomach is a little smaller.

Where do you lose your weight from first? is it the same for everyone?

It is DEFINITELY NOT the same for everyone. Though lots of people do lose it from their face first. Not me. Ummm, I don't even remember any more. I think it was my stomach and hips. Then my face, neck and upper body. I have since totally and completely lost my rear and hips - a miracle for sure.

Just hang in there. Before not too long it will be showing up elsewhere and everywhere. Keep up the good work. It's really, really worth it. You're gonna love having to buy new clothing. And it WILL happen. Good luck.

Actually, I just have to get out my old clothing!

I have boxes of 15/16 13/14 11/12 9/10 & 7/8

I lose it from my bust and face first...

The last place I lose it is my thighs...I hate that becuase they are so enormous!

I lose from my hips and stomach first. From my arms, face and inner thighs last. I am hoping to lose from my boobs pretty soon.....I am up to a D cup and they are driving me nuts! LOLOL!!

When I gain weight, it goes around my middle first and then spreads outward. So, I've lost it in reverse--and I have fat around my middle.

Everyone is different! Just keep going with your plan!

JayEll...you and I are sooooo much alike it's scarey. I wonder if you are my twin I kept hearing about. You don't live in South Carolina do ya??? lol .

The first place I noticed my weight loss was my face. That was my first sign that it was really starting to happen. And then I just started noticing my pants feeling looser and my shirts being baggy on me. I really think i may be one of those people that lose it in like sheets though. A quarter inch from all over my body at a time. unfortunately, i don't think that my weight is evenly distrubuted that way. I believe I will always have a little pooch of a belly and big upper thighs. But as long as they get smaller, i don't mind too much.

lumifan4ever! Hey, I live in Fla.--but I had ancestors who lived in SC. Around Orangeburg.

Jay

That's right...how could i forget you live in Florida when ya'll had that big Hate/Love Florida arguement a few threads back? lol!!! Yeah...I don't live sooo far away from Orangeburg. Maybe an hour!!

I see you are down another pound!! Congrats. You are catching up with me!!! Too bad I probably won't be losing many more at the moment. (started back at the gym which means i will be retaining fluids alot in my poor little sore muscles!!!)

For me, the face is first, followed by tummy, and a little bit on the lower thighs (right above the knees). I'm at this point right now, so I don't know what will go next. Hopefully it will be my ginormous upper thigh/hip area. Dang. It makes me look like a christmas tree.

Hey guys,
I thought I would join in. You see I was reading what Lumifan was saying about losing a sheet at a time and when I first started my weight loss - that is exactly what happened and then 2 parts of my body started to REALLY show the loss... they're my WAIST and my FACE... especially when my jawline starts making an appearance!! lol. I love it!

Ooo by the way!!! I MOVED INTO A NEW DECADE TODAY!! wooop 189!!

My love handles are definitely shrinking, but my face pudge hasn't budged yet. I haven't noticed any of my other body parts shrinking yet, but my stomach is the only part of my body that I truly hate right now anyway. It definitely varies for each person - I would be inclined to think that you would lose weight first in the area in which you have the most fat. For some reason, a lot of us seem to lose weight in our breasts. Others just seem to lose it equally in all places and not even notice how much weight they've lost until they realize they're just... smaller.

Congrats!!

Oh congrats Seranab!!! That is such a wonderful feeling isn't it??? I was soooo happy to see 158. I haven't seen the 150's in 7 years!!

Back to the subject though....I have noticed my back fat is not as bad as it once was. So that is great too.
