Where did you notice the loss first?

So, scale aside, what are some of the places you first noticed your weight-loss? Here's what I noticed first:

My calves got thinner

My face

And my upper arms (biceps)

Just recently I noticed my bra seemed a bit large. Sure enough, "the girls" have shrank significantly (thank God).

I really want to see more in my waist and hips now!

Tell me yours! I thought it was weird to lose in my calves first...haha!

Face, ankles, and belt line. I had to go down to an old belt when my pants fell down crossing the parking lot!

Face, forearms and legs it starts to look pretty funny when i have skinny arms and legs but still have the gut lol

I see it in my face and FEET!

My waist and my face!

Face first. My kids say " u have a neck now mom" lol.... Now stomach, legs !!! I will take it wherever it decides to fall off of me!!!!

Boobs, my face never changes lol. Maybe when I lose more weight I'll notice a difference but I don't see in my face at all.

Have you taken pictures? I bet if you look back over pictures from now and then you will see a difference.

My face and neck are smaller, also my waist and butt. Despite my size, I've always had really skinny, firm arms. Now, I have bingo wings! If I wave hard at someone, they're still moving 45 seconds after I stop waving!

My rear and belly

Face, Neck, I have a color bone, feet,

Only 1 1/2 weeks post op but since my pre op diet I've notice my face getting slimmer. My tummy appears to be dropping some as well

O love reading all your responses as it gives me other things to consider as well. Like feet. A few have posted about noticing it in their feet...me too!

In college, I was a size 11 shoe. As I grew older, I figured that shoes were getting like "pounds" of coffee.....same price, less material in the package. Over the next 20 years I went to an 11.5 and on to a 12. Well, 3 months out and those size 12 shoes are falling off me. I guess it was me :o

Face neck shoulders and wrists and hands. I'm happy my girls are hanging in there...if anything boobs are getting bigger. Weird.
