Back fat?!



Recommended Posts

Ok I'm looking to see if anyone has had any results working out back fat.... I can't stand mine and I need to tone it up a bit. I have done research but it's only skinny women who talk about it. I want to see results from a real woman who had back fat and toned it up. Hope there is someone out there....

You can't spot lose fat. You can't tone fat because it isn't a muscle.

If you build back muscles under fat you are just going to look bigger.

The best option is to just keep losing. Almost all my back fat is gone, because I have just kept losing weight.

I expected to have alot of back fat. As I got to goal, that is no longer the case surprisingly enough.

I would agree that the best thing is to get to a healthy weight by losing fat, if you focus on that it should get better.

Ditto what has been said! Can't spot reduce and can't tone fat. Just keep going and eventually it will go.

When the times comes, and if I still have it even when I reach my goal weight, which I probably will, I'm having Lipo. ;)

Watch you diet. No such thing as spot reduction. However with proper diet and incorporating some challenging weights properly you can bring about change. I've developed my back really well by just cutting back on carbs, increasing Protein and hitting the Iron consistently

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
