Where do you lose weight first?

[threeeggsontoast]

I’m at the start of MJ (week 5) but have lost 10lbs so far. Typically when I lose weight I lose it around my stomach first. As I tend to wear baggy clothes (to hide said stomach) it then takes quite a while before it’s obvious I’ve shrunk a bit (probs around 2 stone mark). From that point, I seem to sort of ‘shrink’ all over but I lose it first on my stomach and the dreaded ‘belly overhang’. This morning I was getting dressed and realised that area has definitely slimmed down.

Curious where others experience their weight loss first or is it different each time?

Round the middle definitely was the first place and my face. 5 months in and 2 stone down I'm slimmer all over. I've been doing a lot of gym work and that's really helped with tone.

Boobs! I am very thankful for it as they were huge.

top down. Face, shoulders and arms, then boobs went, then stomach. Now thighs are slimming. Lower legs have barely changed though so really hoping the weight loss reaches those as well before the rest of me is too skinny.

It’s funny because I always used to lose it in my face first so even after a week of dieting, people would comment. These days though it’s the ‘belly overhang’ which no one actually sees because I spend way too much thought on trying to disguise it. It was quite nice today to get dressed and see the small changes in my body. Thank goodness for MJ!

Always the face for me. But I'd prefer to lose it off tummy

Face, shoulders and arse and lower legs/ankles

My whole top half has raced shed this time. Usually when I lose weight it’s quite even and my top half has been a size bigger than the bottom for years. Now it’s the other way round. I’m hopeful for more tummy loss soon

Double chin and belly. Arms are the last for me!!

Tummy, arms and bum. Although my Dad and brother have flat bums both are slim so maybe that our build.

Annoyingly, wrists, forearms, shoulders, ankles… then face. Stomach and arse are always last to get the memo unfortunately!

So far down 40lbs.
My face is very noticeable, and my chins have gone.
Thighs are slimming.
But the tummy is the most stubborn.

This made me smile. I’ve definitely never been told that ‘you’ve lost weight…your wrists are thinner’. 😂

It'll all come off eventually!

@threeeggsontoastI do like to privately admire my now delicate wrists though, even though I currently resemble Shrek with tiny snappable T Rex forearms.
