I know this is strange.....

Do you ever look in the mirror and think that I've lost weight here but not there? I guess I was thinking the weight would come off equally in all places.

For example, I can REALLY see a difference in my neck/shoulders/upper arms, but my lower arms are still chunky.

I am not complaining. I just think it's interesting and wondered if anyone else thought this.

Oh yes, I'm in the gym working on my areas that have been slower to loose. It is interesting to see where the weight comes off first. I'm trying to build muscle in the areas that are in need to loose inches. Hope I'm on the right track...

I can remember my husband telling me that my toes looked skinnier!!

From my lifetime of dieting knowlesge this is my understanding of why we have plateaus and stalss. The plateaus are when the body rearranges the fat to make it more proportional. When you lose rapidly your body has to take breaks to shift everything around so it can better acess the fat. Not sure of a reference for this but it makes sense to me.

The last place the weight will come off from is your belly. So look other places than down!! LOL
