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.

      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.
