erp 2,016 Posted January 25, 2017 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TinyLittleFractures 33 Posted January 25, 2017 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Travelher 915 Posted January 25, 2017 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 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App 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.

PB42 34 Posted January 25, 2017 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bitingcat 87 Posted February 3, 2017 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. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
