Losing in all the Wrong Places

Hi everybody, just wanted to vent. I seem to be doing a pretty good job losing weight. I've been trying to eat healthful foods and not go over 1500 calories a day(most days). I have been losing about a pound a week. The problem is, it seems no matter how much weight I lose, my stomach still looks big and my boobs get smaller. Anyone else have this problem? Just wondering!

I just wish I had boobs, so I could complain about them getting smaller.   : (

Yes! This happened to me. What I did was exercise and build up my chest muscles... this fills in around the top part of your boobs. So that they don't look saggy after you lose some of that extra padding.

After about 6 weeks of boob loss I started to see more coming off my tummy and hips. Rule of thumb is the last place to gain is the first place to lose. Don't be too discouraged. If you exercise you will have a slender fit body that is good proportion.

I lost a lot in my legs at first.  Mom and I took two inches out of the leg/inseam and crotch of my pants.  Oddly though, the waist still fit.  That was about 10 days ago at -22 pounds.  I finally noticed this weekend that the waist was starting to get pretty loose.  So, I do think it's possible that our bodies let go of the fat in different places at different rates.

This is what's happening to me too... although I'm between a D/DD, so I could stand to lose some boobage, still kinda sucks though. And losing weight in the chest just makes my big stomach (which doesn't seem to be shedding fat yet) look bigger!

Though I must say, my legs are getting a lot more defined, and look the most changed, which I guess isn't bad. I just really wish my stomach would start to show the effects of my lifestyle changes. I know eventually it'll happen, but for now it's lame :p

Apparently, most women lose in their breasts first, and their thighs last.

The exact opposite of what I'd have liked to see happen!

Guys have you done the measurements? I did mine at the weekend (after 16 pounds) I'm gonna measure again in a couple of weeks and let you know the difference.

My boots are starting to feel loose, can't wait till i have to get rid!!

I tend to lose in places it doesn't matter first. Like the general torso area.

Maybe someday it will really come off the butt, thigh, hip region. The weird thing is that I swear the fat is coming off my legs in chunks! I actually have little indentations where some fat must've left. You'd think it would leave in a nice uniform manner, but nooooo.

Reverse cellulite?

I feel your pain, my bust has gone down 6 inches since diet start, and 2 or less off hips/waist.

:-(

Used to be a B, now I'm an A.  My daughters are D and C--and they laugh constantly (good naturedly) about it!  The boobs are mostly fat--and apparently your body doesn't take that fat storage seriously enough to keep it!  Reward yourself with a really expensive (and smaller) bra when you are all done--just cus they're smaller, doesn't mean you can't dress them up! :)

Well, I don't have the boob problem...frankly I wish they would go away! But not until I lose the weight in other places...I'm an F...and trust me, it's not great. My back is constantly in pain!

However I am getting in shape...and the weight seems to be coming out of my torso a LOT...inch wise...and little by little the hips...hopefully after awhile it will spread out more evenly!

Speaking from a "guy's point of view"  I bet that fact that you are losing weight is making you feel better about yourself and more attractive,  and that is a a lot more sexy than the size of one part of your body. 

Sexy is an attitude not a cup size...:)

I always lose weight from the top down, and not just my chest, but also my shoulders, upper arms, and upper back (which is nice because it's easier to find blouses that button in the chest without gapping and showing the world what color bra I'm wearing today).  After a while, you'll start to notice the inches coming off your waist and legs too.  Be patient.  And, if you're doing some kind of activity, like aerobics or crunches, it will start to come off your waist faster. 

And thanks for the guy perspective, cfmassey.  :)

I also have a weird "problem"... I lost A LOT from my waist and nearly nothing from my hips. I think its because you can't lose beyond the hip bone, but since there are no bones in the waist area, you can pretty much lose all you want from there.

I look ridiculous! :-P

I'm the opposite... I'm very large chested and it seems that I lose everywhere but not as much from there! LMAO! Ok, I did lose a couple of cm's from the bust but still...
