I lost the most weight in my stomache. But my measurements also show that I've lost 1-1/2 inches off both upper arms (really flabby). lol....I hope you have wonderful success with this wol!

hi latsyrcSC, congrats on the lbs. lost so far. Yer getting off to a great start!!

There's a bit of folklore wisdom, that says you lose weight in the reverse order you gained it. So, the last place on your body to get fat is the first place it will come off, and MOST unfortunately, the first place it went on will be the last to come off .. :(

For me, I've always been heavier on the bottom half, and gain most easily in that region first. The potbelly and fat-roll around my waistline were the last place to gain, and indeed, these have been the first places I've lost from, so I guess I won't complain **LOL**

I've noticed that too. When I was a senior I hardly had a gut at all, then after school it popped up outta no where. Kept growing and growing and growing.....


Now that I'm loosing a few lbs I see it shedding off first. So your theory seems correct!!!! :)))

Have you noticed that your weight comes off in chuncks or is that just me? I actually see chunks gone like in my thigh area, and stomach area... It is just awful looking but I won't compain because it looked even worse before. Do you think this is just because I was off to a fast start 10lbs in 10 days? I have no Idea.
But My belly, hips and thighs, even arms seem a little bit littler.... (from my inch chart...)
Good luck to each of you and
have fun with our LC WOL

I haven't really notices chunks falling off, but I have noticed the weightloss. It could be because you're loosing weight at that speed but I don't know, I'd have to look it up. Congrats on the ten pounds though and cheers to many more! Enjoy it!

Hi !!

This is probably going to sound silly, but the first place I noticed was around my knees!! Im hoping to see it around my upper body soon. I look like a barrel!!

I am afraid that mine is coming off like honestd's ... chunks off of thighs and hips. Looks awful, mountains and caverns. Dimples on the elbows ... ick. Hopefully this is just a gets-worse-before-it-gets-better thing.

Gosh I guess once you get to a steady weight that you want to stay at your body will smooth out??? How about my scientific explanation!? :)

HI, I am noticing it coming off of my tummy area, which I am most greatful for... since it was most noticable!! I also see it a bit in my face as well, but that also changes monthly... *lol*

ha ha ha...
I tell you what, It is awful to lose it this way (in chunks!!) but losing is losing and I will not complain... I am doing cardio and weight training too so I don't know if that has anything to do with it... Most likely does some how... LOL If anyones sees anything like that please post it, It is nice to know I am not going through it alone... LOL Right LCSue!!! he he he

Lumps and bumps, we definitely are not losing like the gals on Survivor! But they sure miss the protein, don't they?

Sherrybee....Gosh I'm right with ya girl...the hips are gonna be a dread. Actually right now I'm at a stall. I'm not too worried about it because I've been reading everyone's entries on here about stalling and how to beat it so..just keep on working I guess.

Regarding your comment about the picture, that's interesting!! You know they say everybody has a twin. lol Do you have a picture around of yourself so I can see? :) heh

LCSue LOL, I was just thinking about going on survivor last night. Atleast I'd be loosing weight right? But gosh, I'd never make it to the camp with all that climbing and walking!

I think for me...I noticed it first off my waist.....but I saw friends who I hadn't seen in awhile and right away they said I'd lost weight my face was thinner....

i can't tell. my measurements don't seem to have changed very much, according to the tape measure, but i can SEE the difference in my hips/butt/thighs and waist, even if the tape doesn't.

and i'm certainly seeing less cellulite!

My stomach was first I think- I could definitely notice that I had less of a muffin top and that when I zipped them up, there wasnt that engraved groove around my waist at the end of the day :/. I'm pear shaped, but i definitely have lost in the butt, thigh area- my pants are loose. I havent been really taking measurements, but i think i lost pretty evenly all over. I would like a little more off the legs please!

I am down 26 pounds and everyone seems to notice it in my face the most. My clothes are fitting a little loser but nothing to brag about. I am beginning to wonder if I will ever lose these wide hips and chubby thighs/butt.

I'm down 16lbs and no one has noticed - but where I have noticed is my weight has come off my BOOBS! :tears: :tears:

Hopefully the rest of me will catch up soon.
