    Where do you lose weight from first?

    I can thank my lovely parents for giving me the privilege of storing fat primarily in my belly area. Unfortunately this is the last place I lose!!

    I was wondering where you see the weight come off first on this woe. Face? Arms? Legs? Butt? Stomach?

    How about last?

    Me too! I lose starting at the top and work my way down to the last place and still struggling my lower belly. Seems like no matter how much exercise I still have a bit of a spare tire!

      By the top, do you mean you lose around your face first, or arms/chest?

        I think I lose in my face first, which is definitely nice sometimes, but I really, really want to lose in my upper arms and belly. They just don't seem to budge!

            Face first. As I get older it seems to change on where it comes off first...

            It used to come off my face, legs, hips waist and then maybe belly...

            Now, its face, hips and it to get to come off the legs and belly I really need to hit exercising hard... my upper arms... they don't like to let go of the fat either! LOL

            My wrists.. .now they are looking slim and trim!

                Thanks! I think its a standard one on site.. lol

                It is weird how the fat actually comes off. Eventually it all does, but some parts really like to hang on to that cushion!

                Its funny when you first start to lose and your face becomes thinner, more defined, people are more apt to say - Hey, you look great! LOL Meanwhile, the rest of me is the same - plump and juicy! LOl

                  I tend to lose from the head down...

                  The gut is always the last to go... grrrrr..
                  Oh and back fat too. LOL.

                  I hate them both with a passion!

                      My hands. It's weird, I can tell how I'm losing - or not- by how my rings fit.

                        Thanks to all the interesting replies! For those of you who re-started Atkins after gaining weight, did you notice the weight loss in different places? Or has the pattern been consistent?

                          How about I noticed the weight GAIN in different places.. LOL
                          Does that count?

                          Seriously, I always had athletic legs but after gaining my thighs got chubby ... grrr. lol

                          Over all, losing wise - I've noticed no difference. Still falls off the same. LOL

                            I cant say where I lost first but I will say I just kept shrinking from everywhere until everything got slimmer.

                              Summerdressgirl, me too! Love handle on left, but smooth on the right! Hmm...
                              I lost first in my face, then my upper belly. Then legs & butt cause of all the walking I'm doing. It's amazing how that worked together!! haha, I was the last to believe!

                              Someone said my arms look slender. I use my ring finger to judge how much water I'm retaining. It plumps if I have too much salt in the evening.
