I keep feeling like I am gaining weight even though the scale says otherwise. I feel like my stomach is getting bigger. It seems to stick out more then before. I feel like it is taking over my whole body... I hate it so much and it bothers me to see myself in the mirror...

I know that weight goes in different places at different times. but it looks like everything else is shrinking except my stomach. Is this an optical illusion or have others found that the stomach seems to stay forever...

Kinda ranting I guess.....Is it mostly skin or what is happening here?!

yep. I'm early in this game, but if my front-butt wasn't sticking out so much, I'd be down at least 1 size in pants. It is always where I carried my weight before obesity, but this is ridiculous!

Yes, indeed. The belly on the males in my family has always been a trademark of our kind. I opted to un-brand myself but found that the Belly monarchy was adamant about abiding. In fact, as the rest of my kingdom succumbed to the exodus of fatty material, Castle Belly remained unscathed and stood in defiant and enhanced prominence.

The relentless pounding of exercise artillery and the simultaneous famine of the sleeve-born siege finally reduced the stronghold to a mere limp shell of it's former self. It was no longer first to enter a room, an annoying hindrance to shoe tying, an exposing hiker-up of all possible t-shirts, a mood killing spacer to marital intimacy.

The king is dead...now stay dead!

Yeah..belly will be the last to go. One time when I lost a bunch of weight, I got down to 135 pounds, which would have been nice except that I still had a belly. I just had become a smaller version of the same body. This time I am working out with weights and getting at least an hour of exercise every day. I hope it helps with the distribution of weight.

Look at my before photo..huge belly!!! It's gone now. There was alot of skin and prior to plastics I used garment to spread that skin just so to make fake hips....Haha. now my tummy is pretty flat for the first time EVER!!!!
