Body Part Slowest To Loose The Inches

[gwynne 14]

Hi Everyone,

This morning I had a NSV which struck me to ask this question here.

I bought a dress long ago, could never get into them (Yes, yes, i didn't try them on.. but it's so pretty!).

Tried them this morning, it was kinda lose... but, at the arm hole, it's tight...

So I was wondering, if you can all share which body part do you think it's the hardest to loose the inches and what do you intend/have done to help?

Personally, its the arms for me. The skin is really loose there, i've been applying all kinds of lotion, Spanx, etc, it's just going too slow. Now my arms look like their bigger than my body ( ok , I wish...)

My thighs and arms are the most difficult to lose. No matter what excercise I do, it hasn't seemed to help my arms. My thighs don't look great but are obviously shrinking because my clothes are fitting looser in that area even though it's a struggle to lose in that area. I hate my arms, it's so difficult to find, let alone wear something cute. I'd have surgery when I get to goal if they haven't gotten better.

i think the arms 4 sure.. but the elyptical helps with that allot of u try to focus on ur arms while on it ..meaning .. just dont hold on .. acutally work them out .. its helped me in the past during other weight loss attempts .. and i plan to do it once i have surgery and am allowed to workout ..

My stomach is my most difficult place to shrink. There is muscle there, lots of it, but it's underneath a bunch of skin. My arms and legs are toning up pretty well, but my tummy is not showing as much improvement.

Definitely my thighs. They have gotten a little smaller but not in the way other parts of my body have.

My stomach I've lost 70# & I'm STILL wearing the same jeans. They're looser in the thighs so now they just look weird. Boo.

Mine is my hips. I'm pear shaped and that weight is holding on. My arms were bad but I started a Weight training regimen and they are saggy but much better.

My arms and HIPS! I'm 5'1 and VERY hourglass figured, so it tends to make my limbs look very... stumpy. A co-worker even teased me by setting my desktop background to a T-Rex!! LOL.

Anyway, I've ALWAYS had chubby arms. Even when I was 125 I would look at myself in tank tops and think... My arms look chubby! They're just short. Not much I can do about it. Same with my legs!

As far as my hips... well, yeah. Let's just say I've got child-bearing hips (my mother says this, LOL) so they're already curvy, and the fat is just clinging to them. Right now it feels like I'm wearing an inflatable tube around my hips! I'm soooo hoping as I lose my weight it will redistribute and even out so I don't look like a complete freak of nature!

I forgot to mention,,I have stomach issues too but I think only surgery would help it at this point. Not alot of fat but alot of excess skin,,it just won't shrink and I hate it!

I have some bad news for you. You can't target areas to lose weight. As the weight comes off, it will come off in the order it wants to. The best you can do is build muscle in those target areas so that when it does slim down, you have tone in that area. I build muscle really fast. The problem is taking off the padding so that you can see the definition. For example, I only lost a half inch in my thighs so far, (but my thighs have always been like small tree trunks. I was a gymnast, dancer and powerlifter in high school.) However, a month ago, I had a TON of cellulite and it is almost completely gone. I have found that whatever shape you started is close to what you are going to end up with when you hit "normal" weight. It has to do with activities that defined your body in the developmental stage as well as genetics. Just keep going the way you are it will all even out even if some places take a little longer.
