Where is your weight coming off?

[is thin possible?]

Question to all of you wonderful ha members who are slimming down and looking gorgeous! :wave

Have you noticed that certain areas of your bodies are slimming up quicker than others? I mean for instance...even though I have inches coming off everywhere, my upper body, face, and hiney seen to be coming along pretty well. However, my legs and stomach in particular are very slow at losing! I wouldn't say that it is grossly disproportioned, but it feels like it. For those of you who have had significant loss, did you experience this?

I heard Covert Bailey, a nutrition expert say once when it comes to wieght, "The first fat on will be the last fat off." Is there any truth to this.

Thanks and your input is appreciated!

Blessings!

Hey there,
As far was what Covert Bailey states, not sure about that. When i gain weight i gain in the stomach area. And Since starting atkins again on jan 27, I seem to be losing alot in the stomach area. I went from a 45 waist to a 41 waist in the last two weeks. Like i said, i gain in the stomach area, does not look bad when you look at me from a front view, but the side view, yikes. Just thought id share my experience with you.

I seem to be losing more on face and legs than tummy area. Can't wait for that to shrink...always been the bane of my life!

Maybe there is something to the "first on, last off" theory

I'm losing mostly in my face, legs, and stomach area. I think my boobs are starting to shrink too :sadblinky :sadblinky TOTALLY NOT COOL!!!

My weight seems to be coming off of my upper legs and stomach..I think that is because I am riding the bike as my exercise..I have increased it from 30 minutes a day to 60 minutes a day.. :joy

I think some areas are just easier to show weight loss than others. Facial features happens to be one of them. My quickest places to lose was probably the core trunk area, but due to it still being bigger than normal size, it is always hard to judge there. Tape measures are your friend in that regard.

first the face, then legs, arms and waist but yeah the stomach area hasn't shrunk that much but still none of my pants fit anymore... annoying since i bought suits and business wear back in january that i hadn't worn yet. :anger

Good morning!
The confusing thing to me is, that I have lost 30 pounds but I can't really tell where it has come from. I feel smaller everywhere. And, I know, I know, I should have tape measured. But I AM a scale slave (and I have my reasons). As a horseback rider, it doesn't matter how many inches I lose, it matters what I weigh. = ) But, I would have to say, I feel the biggest difference in my stomach area, hips, thighs, and upper arms....overall I don't care where it comes from as long as it goes somewhere else.
