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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
