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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
