so i am well over the 50 pound losing mark i have been working my azz off literally but nothing in the ab area how is this possible i have lost weight in my face arms legs even butt but i still have extended belly syndrome lol wtf im very confused my sis who has the sleeve and only lost 48 pounds her stomach has gone done alot while im still tucking mine in my pants please help

I'm still dealing with stomach issues too. I need a smaller sized pant cause 12's are too big in the rear and legs but I can't button the smaller size without a huge muffin top. I definately feel your pain. My stomach was the largest fatty area so it has the most fat to lose so that's why it seems like it's still just lingering around. The other areas didn't have that much fat so those areas are much slimmer first. Hope this makes sense, I'm sleepy.

yes im soooooooo confused i always figured when i lost weight my stomach would go with at least when i was bigger it wasnt as noticable but now that im smaller it looks crazy and more noticable if i dont hide it well and im in the gym but for some people there stomach go with there weight loss its not fair lol

I'm the same way o have thought about asking if I should get a pre tummy tuck I'm worried about summer and hanging belly

All body types are different and people lose and gain weight at different areas at different rates. For me, it's the legs that get smaller than everything else. Stick with it and eventually the fat has to come off, especially if it's the only place left!

I have similar issues, seems like everything is shrinking except my belly. I had to buy smaller bras but still look like I am ready to give birth any minute. I feel your pain, I guess it will be that much sweeter when the belly finally starts to go.

yeah your right i just dont want the sponge bob look small legs big azz broad top lol

How are you measuring your loss? Is it by the mirror, or by tape measure?

I completely understand that you might not perceive any loss in your abdomen, but the reality is that it is very unlikely. I couldn't see any improvement in my gut till one day when I was driving I noticed I was sitting much closer to the steering wheel, and my gut wasn't in the way. I couldn't see an improvement, but what was once a 1/2" gap between the wheel & me was now 3-4".

The unfortunate reality is that you will lose weight just the opposite of how you gain it. So if your abdomen is the first area of your body to grow, then it will be the last to go away. But it will go away, keep going, you are already over 50lbs into your journey, you are doing great!!

First. Congrats,

on the 48 lbs weight loss. that is amazing. I have those issues now too. My belly and my arms are the first thing that I hope will go if I had a choice. In the past I'd did the abdomen machines at the gym and it helped.

Good luck

thanks boo!!!!

I have little to compare this to, but I do remember a zillion years ago in college when I got down to 115 lbs for the first time since birth and still had a belly. I want to get down to 115 lbs again, which is my goal. I'm going to guess that when I eventually do, I will still have a belly and will need to continue to exercise and moderate my diet. It just isn't going to happen in one beautiful swoop. Reality is not that kind to most of us. Just keep doing good things for your health and be the best you that you can be.

I'm having the same "issue"
