Where is your fat hanging on tight?



Recommended Posts

My stomach is always the first place I puff out, followed by my hips. Then I lose it in reverse as well, hips go down before stomach.

I don't think my thighs will ever go anywhere. I've got a lot further to go, but I imagine after years of carrying around my body weight I will always have big legs.

Yep.........all my clothes sizes are down, except for my stomach. If I can find a shirt that fits around my lower belly, it hangs off my shoulders and chest. I guess it is a good problem to have, but it is frustrating. I am doing lots of crunches and have a trainer working hard at firming all the jigglies.......but I do worry about where the next 40 I want to lose are going to come from. I didn't measure before my surgery and sure wish I had. Mostly, I am really happy with everything.....best decision ever.

Guess I will just have a jiggly stomach.

Wouldn't worry about crunches n sit-ups etc they do absolutely nothing for the fat on ya guts.

Diet is the only thing that can get rid of that. Takes tie for the guts fat to go... so bloody frustrating hey lol

Agree. Drives me nuts to see ads saying get rid of fat in place x by doing this exercise...core strengthening is still a great thing to do for other reasons though.

Yep, that's what my trainer says. Spot reduction is impossible, but the cardio and core have to be good for me. I have been stuck at 165-167 for a month now. Big goal is to not have to move the 50 lb marker when I get on the scale. Just want to see the other side of 150 so bad. My hunger is returning and I know I am bored. Need to get out of the house more.

I do enjoy "chatting" with people who know what I am going through. Haven't told anyone around here, so you all are helping. I took 5 huge bags of fat clothes to my car to take to Goodwill and just couldn't do it. Not sure what the means mentally. I guess I am still worried about gaining it back and haven't even lost all I want yet.

Belly. Still have a gut and I dislike it immensely. Meanwhile my arms are getting skinny.

OMG - I can not lose these hips and upper thighs. I mean, I also still have the c-section super sag, but these hips are killing me. I've lost inches off my waist, though.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
