Question Weight shift??

I hope someone out there has this happen to them...Has anyone ever noticed that when you loose the weight, it seems to come off in certain areas, then switch to others?? Like, my boobs went first, then my butt, then thighs, now finally, my stomach is getting much smaller, (I can actually see my c-section scar, and pubic hair!!), but since my stomach is looking smaller, my thighs look HUGE to me!! Am I imagining things??

I will be happy when my spare tyre starts decreasing I have hit a bit of a wall but the better health is keeping me focused for now. I have lost a trouser size (kinda it depends on the trousers) but it seems thing are shrinking around the gut.

edit: on the brightish side I have the calf's of an olympic runner

It's coming off all over, but definitely more in the upper back, shoulders, and upper arms. It would be nice if it came off my waist and hips, but one thing at a time.

I've always been the proverbial pear. After my first child was born, my previously flat behind had a caboose. I had weighed more before than I did after she was born, but my fat shifted!

Funny thing is, after starting Atkins that caboose (and my ankles) were the first things I noticed gone. Then one day I put on my swimming suit and realized I had nearly shrunk out of the top of it.

I know I'm losing my waist too because my pants just get bigger and I have to keep buying smaller ones, but it sure doesn't look like it's moving to me! I want a somewhat flat tummy again! LOL
