As the only person I know (you know, in person) who has successfully lost some weight, I consider Sister3 to be the ultimate authority on the subject.
We were discussing it a while back and she told me there are distinct stages in the weight loss process. It's not at all what I expected, so of course I had to share!
Alas, it doesn't work that way. The first few pounds come straight out of the boobs. And it's hard to be inspired to continue when weight loss has done the opposite of the glories it's always promised.
But they can and they do. The fingers lose the extra padding you didn't know they had, and the flesh between the tendons settles down a little more tightly to the hands. Bony fingers are sexy, right?

The Stages of Weight Loss: Which Body Parts Lose What
1. Boobs
This right here is the saddest part of the whole weight loss process. Here we all are, trying to lose weight for whatever reason, health, confidence, convenience, but there's at least a little edge of vanity in there for all of us. Wouldn't it be nice to lose a few pounds and be more attractive?Alas, it doesn't work that way. The first few pounds come straight out of the boobs. And it's hard to be inspired to continue when weight loss has done the opposite of the glories it's always promised.
2. Hands
What??? How can hands lose weight? That's the one body part I've never thought of as having any extra weight to lose!But they can and they do. The fingers lose the extra padding you didn't know they had, and the flesh between the tendons settles down a little more tightly to the hands. Bony fingers are sexy, right?
3. Legs
Ok, this is sounding a little bit better. Rock solid calves, who doesn't want that? Eventually, after sighing over the ridiculousness of your svelte extremities and untouched torso, the muscularity of the calves will move up to the thighs, but belay your excitement. It's gonna be awhile.4. Where it Matters!
Finally, finally, finally, after hitting every other body part, the stomach and torso will start to see the impact. Celebrate this grand victory! But not too hard, or you'll get bumped back to the leg stage.Have you managed to lose weight and how did you do it? Were there stages?
