Where did you lose weight first. What is the weirdest weight loss you noticed?


Quote  |  Reply

I just started taking metformin for insulin resistance 3 weeks ago and have lost about 6lbs.  Altogether Ive lost about 26lbs. 

The biggest change i've seen is that im losing weight in my hands and feet. 

I keep telling my family:  "Look!  I have bones!!!"  and they respond with "Wow!  You used to have big fat fingers and flinstones feet, but now they're normal!".  lol. 

Where did you lose weight first and have you noticed any weird spots you lost weight?

The first place I lost weight was in my waist. I had lost about five pounds (of the 29ish that I've lost total at this point) and my mom pinched my waist and told me my belly was flattening out. :-P

I know I've lost weight in my fingers even though I don't see it--my class ring is a lot looser now. I also noticed weight loss in my wrists, which were always oddly boney and are now super oddly boney. I also noticed it in my thighs--not WEIRD, per say, but I remember being really excited because my thighs didn't curve outward anymore. XD

I lost weight in my wrists, which is odd because I thought that you didn't store excess fat in the wrists... but I was wrong, because now my bracelets don't fit!

The weirdest place? 1/2 of my stomach. I have this FUN asymmetrical thing going on, where I'm losing weight on one half of my stomach more than the other half. And I'll tell you, if you ever needed a motivator to take off the rest of that weight, the idea of evening out helps!

i lost in my wrists, too.  it seemed especially odd, because i wasn't all that big in the first place (5'8" and 167), but when i'd lost about 15 or 20 pounds, i realized that my watch was spinning around.

my forearms!


When i started out i took pictures of myself once a week rather than looking at the scale. Then i superimposed the new photos over the old ones and the very first place that i lost weight was in my forearms!  how odd.

my boobs!! they just started disappearing right away

The first place I noticed my weight loss was my wrists. I was so happy to see them again!

wow a lot of people lose their wrists i guess.  i also have an asymetrical thing going on.  The left side  of my body in general is fatter than the right side.

I lost weight probably in my waist most noticeably. I know I lost weight in my arms and legs too because the measurement went down.

not the weirdest but the saddest place I lost weight: my chest T_T

I don't know about the first, but for the weirdest my shoe size went down by a half size which really shocked me.

LOL, my shoe size shrank too! I used to wear an 8, but now I go between a 7 or 7 1/2 depending on the shoe. It's nice to know that I'm not weird.

My first noticeable loss to me was my spare tire around my middle.  I'm no longer a "Dunlap", or a Muffin Top.  The next place I really noticed it was in my face.  I never wore turtle necks as my round face reminded me of a Jack-o-lantern sitting on a tree stump!  I now own two!  Happy day!
