Where did you lose first?



Recommended Posts

Hello, I was just wondering how the weight came off on everyone...did it come off your stomach first...or your butt...or you legs...etc? If I'm going to visualize myself losing weight, I want to do it correctly! Nicole :biggrin1:

I'm sure it is definately different for everyone. Me myself, lost it around my hips and butt first. Also my face. I probably have lost alot around my belly but there is just so much there that it doesn't look as drastic yet.

For me it was my upper body - shoulders, back, chest. Then my face. Then thighs, and now belly. I'm now about two sizes smaller on top than on bottom. But one of the first visible changes I could see was my collarbones.

Me it was definintely butt, thighs and face first then stomach. I've just lost 60 pounds with 40 more to go but it shows up quick. You'll be amazed how fast it goes.

I seem to lose from the top down. First my face, then chest, arms and back. I was a size smaller on top before my bottom half started to catch up. My belly is still the biggest part of me.

Face & Neck first - then it came off my BACK - I lost those ever so attractive "back boobs" and now it seems to be coming off the core. My belly measurement has dropped pretty dramatically with the last 20 lbs or so.

good luck!! (and take LOTS of pictures - both before and during)

Upper body for me - back, chest, neck, arms. Which surprised me as I'm pretty much a typical pear shape and didnt think I was carrying a lot of weight there. In fact I bought quite a few new tops at the start of our Winter back in May or so thinking that I wouldnt get too small for tops, it'd just pants I'd have to replace - WRONG!

I'm almost at goal weight and I'm really only still carrying around the hips and stomach and thighs - typical of most women probably.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
