Where Do You Lose Weight From First?

I'm just curious - which area of your bodyd did you lose the most weight from first?  Does the area(s) where you lose the most weight seem to change as you get smaller and smaller? I'm guessing that it will depend on your body type (pear, apple, etc.). 

For me, it seemed like I first lost weight from my face and just generally all over.  Now that I'm just "overweight" and I've lost the bulk of my weight, I feel like I'm losing the most from my boobs and my butt but very little weight is coming off elsewhere.  So, I look like I have a thicker waist and big arms, but skinny legs.  I'm definitely NOT pear or hourglass shaped I guess.  But hey, at least now I can say that SOMETHING on my body is skinny

I'm only 2 weeks out but already there are several pair of shoes that I simply can't keep on my feet anymore!  For me it's definately been in my face and feet!

Everyone said to me the first place that they could tell was in my face! Really, I don't drastically notice changes everywhere else until I try on clothes or see it in pictures.  Make sure to document your journey as pictures is the way I can see my changes most of the time!

Inches wise I lose twice as much around my hips when i measure around my lower stomach. I am more of a pear shape and hold more weight in hips and thighs.

I'm a pear.  Pear's tend to be like a glass of water - we gain the bottom up and lose from the top down. 

My mother, an apple, gains from the middle out and loses from the outside in.

I noticed it first in my face and my neck.  Hey, did you know I had a collar bone, I didn't.

My stomach is the second thing i noticed, it has pulled in, of course, but oddly enough, the sides of my stomach seem to be reducing significantly more than the front of my stomach.

And finally, the part I'm most happy of, my man boobs are shrinking.   And there was much rejoicing.  (I was living in terror that I would not loose weight there).

I seemed to look like I was melting so the top half to my waist lost the most so far, so everything settled it seemed at my tummy and hips LOL so those are going down now thank God. But yep even the people at work said you are melting, you could see the weight loss in my face, shoulders, chest and waist first... I tracked my inches and I did lose some in my hips and tummy area and my legs are now thin, it's just this darn stomach.. I hate that spare tire (as my friend says of it now it's a flat tire) lol

My face first, but that is because before surgery the water weight was huge probably.  I usually lose from the top down.  However, my pants are getting pretty loose already just over 3 weeks out.  When I get closer to my goal it is much more evident that I lose top to bottom.  Even thin I was a busty Beyonce type build.
