Question About Where You Lose Weight
I swim at Beaver lake I think...lol. We would go down to the end of 264 and swim there. It's not really a designated swimming area, but it's not high traffic and there are alot of people that go there to swim. It's also not TOO far to swim way in the heck out there. The place I am talking about is closest to Lowell.
I think there are some ladies that come up from the Alma/Ft.Smith area. Maybe you guys could meet and carpool if you arent too far from ft.smith. We missed you too! We needed some experience there!!! Congrats on being so close to onederland. You'll be there in no time!

I lost in my face, arms, and chest first. I also lost in my butt and thighs, but it wasn't as noticable. After the first couple of months, I began to see the weight loss in my belly. Today, if you took all the sagging skin, I'd probably wear a size 2. LOL. You will lose your belly. My son, lost his in his belly first. Everyone is so different. But believe me when I tell you this, you will lose the belly. You'll see.
Yay for losing the belly! I already tell people, "I'll hold, you cut." Thanks for everyone's encouragement, I do appreciate it and feel a little more "normal" today. On a side note, I refused to get on the scale this morning and I'm not gonna until I'm darn good and ready! I'd like to see about a 10 pound loss next time I hop on so I better wait awhile! (I don't let the scale control me, but I do get in my ruts where I hop on every morning and then I have to step back and resist the temptation for awhile for the sake of my mental health.)

I have REALLY SKINNY feet now!! No kidding. I always has small feet, but now even smaller. None of my old shoes fit. This has been a budget problem. I've also got good looking ankles. I'm telling you, from the ankles down, I am a string bean....sadly, that the only place I would call myself thin. Lotta work to do on the rest. It stays in my face longest. Ugh.

I hope my feet shrink a little....just enough so I dont have to pass up so many lovely heels. My feet are a little on the wide side so it's alway**** or miss with cutsie shoes. I like a good stiletto, but it's quite an adventure finding ones that look good. straps are always digging in or something!

My feet have shrunk a little, I can see the difference in the width of my foot as well in my ankles. My shoes I had before surgery are a little big for me now but not to big that I can't wear them, LOL. I probably lost half a shoe size.

Mine came from head to toe literally. My face, shoulders, neck and chest (above my breasts) are all small and skinny and sexy to, but then you get to my waist, tummy, butt and thighs and they still look the same to me, even though they are much smaller probably 50% smaller than before surgery, they still look huge to me, LOL. But I tell everybody that the fat melted from the top to the bottom of me. My tummy looks cottage cheese like when I suck it in, I know that's not sexy to show anyone, but to me I would rather it was cottage cheese and skin like than the tight shiny ball it was before.
I went from not being able to wear jeans (somewhere around 34w or higher) and 5x shirts to now being 22-24 pants and 2x shirts, sometimes 1x.
