Did you lose weight from everywhere on the jabs?

My thighs are a massive problem area for me, as well as my stomach, I’m just wondering if people are losing weight from their thighs too, or if it just seems to be stomach fat?

For me it was everywhere, including places I wasn't thinking about like my feet - I have even had to get a smaller chain for my necklace as now my neck is thinner the pendant is hanging too low.

I have a 'thigh gap' for the first time in my adult life. I did add a lot of resistance exercise and high protein foods at the same time though so that is likely to have contributed.

It's not possible for a drug to reduce fat from only one place. The drug works by facilitating a calorie deficit and anyone in a deficit will lose fat from various places on their body, which will be different for each person depending on how/where they store fat.

I have just done my measurements earlier today and in 6 weeks I've lost 3.5 inches off my thighs. My thighs are where I can see it most so far. I'm pear shaped, so less to lose from stomach area. But also keeping track of arms, stomach etc and all are smaller, so losing weight/size from everywhere!

I'd really recommend taking your measurements and keeping track, in addition to weight, as it's really motivating - ive never kept track before when previously dieted.

Everywhere except my boobs... but they have definitely lost something as I swear they are longer!

I’ve lost weight from everywhere, even places like my feet and fingers that I’ve never really thought about.

All over here too. Belly fat is taking the longest to shift but to be fair it was also where the biggest amount of fat existed so more of it to shift.

my thighs are still my problem area, but they are regardless of how I lose weight. They are very muscly but also have a layer of blubber on top. My upper waist is great though, I’ve got abs starting to show

Thank you everyone, I really struggle to lose weight (like all of everyone else on the jabs or considering them) and even when I do manage to lose, I very rarely seem to lose from my thighs, they are so big, even when I was young and size 8, I used to get terrible chub rub. I’m already fairly active, but my thighs have always been my problem area. I’m really hoping the jabs will help with them.

Yes. I didn’t have a huge amount to lose, so I was surprised to notice my wrists and fingers got smaller.

If your thighs touch at a size 8 it’s because of the angle of your hips/pelvis, losing weight is unlikely to result in a thigh gap. Some people have one, some people don’t no matter how slim they are.

If your thighs are the last place to lose fat that won't change just because you're using WLI.

Mj has been proven to reduce visceral fat so you could expect to lose more fat from this area compared to a normal/control diet.
