For most women, the losing weight proces follows the same steps, at least at the beginning.
During a diet, the first two days hardly something happens on the scale. On the third day, the fat will lose 'density' and becomes softer. Now, depending on how much fat you have on and how 'dense' the fat is when you grab it (see difference between fat on belly and fat on legs and butt to understand what I mean), you will spend a few days on this 'dernsity'.
Next step is when you barely start losing something. You don't see it but you might feel it a little when you put on your pants. Your breasts will stop spilling out of your push-up bra and your tummy (especially that annoying little bit right under your navel) will seem only to decrease in size. Actually you don't understand how much you are losing now because the body tends to lose equally from the upper part so the proportion remains pretty much the same. However, this annoying little fatty part under your navel might look more proeminent because the rest of the fat is melting. Best way to evaluate this is to look in the mirror from the side.
Your waist gains contour.
Your legs and your butt have lost very little by now. They are the last ones to 'shrink'. The best way, and sometimes the only way, to keep them shrinking is through exercise. And you usually lose on your thighs and you start losing from your knees up. You can see the knees becoming bonier.
When there isn't much to lose your body will be able to focus better on your 'problem' areas.
Losing weight and staying healthy is easy, when you care. Forget famishing yourself: there are other ways.
Since I was 15 I've been obsessed with healthy diets, losing weight, sports, and everything included. I read books after books and I collected articles on staying fit and healthy. Even now, 12 years later, I am still reading everything I find on the subject.
I will share with you, step by step, everything I know. Free advice.
