Re: has this happened to you?
Yep! From my shoulders to about three inches below my boob line - looking a LOT thinner in the mirror. Then there's my flabby belly all stretchmarked and fat looking.
I have a feeling that my belly will be the last to go - and probably just because of the kids. I'm okay with that though.
Honestly I'm okay with every weird thing that happens. Like how in 1 week I can "gain" 4 lbs, but know it's not fat or muscle, just water retention from adding more exercise in since my eating habits haven't changed. Or that my forearms are getting way thinner that I can overlap my thumb and pointer finger around my wrist, yet my batwings get saggier by the day, lol.
It's a huge process that we're undertaking...our bodies are literally re-organizing themselves. It doesn't always happen in the way we want though.

Re: has this happened to you?
OK, OK, Think Olive oil...(in Popye comics) These are my legs. My ankles go up to my crotch. When my (now adult) children were young, they bought a tape with the song "WHO'S THAT LADY WITH THE SKINNY LEGS?" It is very funny with a GREAT BEATand they used to play it and sing it at the top of their lungs in my (then old convertible with the top down)...much to the amusement of all passersby and drivers as well. I believe the last line goes something like...."Look at that lady with the skinny legs, nevermind, somewhere, someday, someone will take her...skinny legs and all". Amen to that.
Good luck Monday, I will be thinking of you.

Re: has this happened to you?
Yep...I hear ALL of you on the belly AND the batwings.
But someday...we will get there
StephanieI will ONLY weigh once per week! I will refer to DANDR 2002 and this forum when I have questions. I will revel in new recipes, new clothes, and the new feeling of being happy in my skin. I will hold myself accountable to do this the right way, without excuses, because I know that Atkins is the best thing for my health and happiness. I. Will. Succeed!

Re: has this happened to you?
Mine is the opposite. The bottom got squishy and flatter but the top didn't so it's weird. Won't even discuss my arms. Short of surgery I dont' think they'll ever be normal again. They look horrible.Atkins Start date: 01/18/2010--Now off plan for med reasons, still an Atkins lover!

Re: has this happened to you?
Fat loss is like a snow man melting. The last places to go are the places that one stores the most fat and has less capillaries going to those cells.sigpic Me, at 195 lb. September 24, 2009. It's 5:30 a.m. and can't wait to hit the coffee.Comment

Re: has this happened to you?
I am losing a lot right in the middle of my waist and around my back. I have always had a small waist so now it is looking really small. My pants are hanging but getting caught on my baby pooch. I am happy but I wish I could get a spot loss......It will happen.35, 5'10 1/2

Re: has this happened to you?
When I lose large amounts of weight, I seem to develop holes where flab used to be. A chunk from my back, a few blobs from the thighs, so I think you are normal.Comment

Re: has this happened to you?
I agree with most here saying that it will happen in time the way YOUR body is suppose to lose the fat.
I would also add that certain excercises might help focus on specific body parts. I know leg lifts couldn't hurt your lower abdominals for example.PBK - M/45/6'3"
You're not a failure until you quit trying.

Re: has this happened to you?
i'm chubby everywhere, but the first place to go is usually my waist.
i noticed when the weight first started coming off though, it was my face and neck. all of a sudden my neck felt longer.. as weird as that might sound.
the last place is my bloody thighs. UGH x 1000000000000. i've lost so many inches everywhere else, and they have only gone down by an inch. lol stupid things.F 28years 5'7" HW 212/SW206.6/CW185/GW160

Re: has this happened to you?
I loose from the top down-face,neck shoulders,then waist and so on....I don't care how and where it happens-- it's just happening!!!
I'm in my 4th week and still haven't weighted myself. I know I have lost--but I don't want to be dissapointed--so I'm going to the doctors on may 3--it'll be 4 weeks complete-and I'll see where I stand.
