I'll admit that my weight loss has been a little slow going, much of it is my own fault, but it seems that with the band the weight is coming off differently.

I'm 211.5 this morning, and I've been this weight several times in the past few years, but NEVER have I gone down a pant size like I have with the pant.

It seems to me like I'm losing more around my middle than I have an the past.

Anyone else notice that their weight is coming off differently than in previous attempts to lose weight?

I have noticed that I shrank significantly in face, top and waist first and the stomach/hips/backside are taking longer to catch up. I did drop pants sizes quickly in the beginning but then it slowed down as the top half start to really size down. Before, I would lose fairly evenly all around - so everything was shrinking at the same rate.

Great thing is that it is coming off....bad thing is that I think I look a little off-balance.

I thought I was the only one. I have lost in my face a lot, but my belly looks bigger. I have always lost in the middle first. This time, not so much. I can tell a difference in my face and legs only. Very wierd!!!

I have always had the "top down" weight loss problem. For years, I lost face & neck, then arms and chest, then belly/hips. After the loss/gain cycle, I ended up with a pretty impressive lower body (impressive in the sense that if I land on you when I fall, you will be impressed into the concrete floor).

Since banding the weight has come off all over - actually MORE in the belly area than ever before. I am thinking it has to do with the protein supplements or the calcium or something.

Both of those are new for me - different from other diets - so it has to be one of them, don't you think?

Good Luck!

Yes, the scale goes up and down like a yo yo. I can definitely feel the difference in my sizes though.

Yep - I'm losing from the waist up quicker than hips down. Previous diets gave an all around even and proportionate weightloss, but I'm now about 2 sizes smaller on top than bottom.

I'm losing on the bottom faster than on top. I've always been pear shaped, but my pants size is 16 now, top size is 18-20. That's not my usual pattern. And though I was a 36 C before putting on the weight years ago, after 77 lbs. lost, I've only gone from a 46 DD to a 44DD. I'm starting to look top heavy, and I'm thinking breast reduction is in the cards. It also took until the last 5-10 lbs before my face really showed a big difference. Maybe it is the high protein diet.

Dont know, I've never lost this much weight before. I never ever did any better than losing 7kg and regaining 10.

Mine is different this time too. I usually lose the middle first. Not this time. I have lost everywhere, but less in the middle. It kinda sucks, but what can you do?!
