bigpapa2 0 Posted February 23, 2009 I have a question about losing more abdominal inches. Since November 25th I have lost 2 inches on my right arm, 5 inches on my chest, .5 inches on my waist, 7 inches on my hips, .5 inches on my thigh. abdominal lose was 1 inch only. Why is that? What exercises can I do to lose more weight in my abdominal area. I am walking and riding my stationary bike so that would exspain the hips and thighs losing so much. Im losing like crazy in my chest, but the stomach is just not getting any smaller. I think my total inches for that time was 15.8 inches which is great when you add all my other measurements. but again I am not happy with my stomach area. My weight lose has slowed down so iIam looking at my inches more and getting very upset about my stomach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jachut 487 Posted February 23, 2009 You cant influence where it comes off from, your body has spots that are unique to you (and generally hormonally influenced) that it likes to store from and other areas it will let the weight go from. I'm the opposite, flat stomach but its murder trying to lose it off the hips and thighs. And I run and run and run and run, up to 10kms per day. This will TONE my hips and thighs but it does not send my body the hormonal signal to cut the estrogen that causes hip and thigh fat storage. Likewise your stomach, you are a man, your hormone levels determine that you will store belly fat. It WILL come off but it will come off in its own good time and probably the last fat you will be left with as you get towards goal weight will be belly fat. There is absolutely no exercise you can do to target it, losing fat overall is your only weapon. Unless you choose some liposuction, which can remove it directly.

GuyMontag 1,264 Posted February 23, 2009 Is any of it just loose skin? I carry the majority of my weight in my stomach and I'm worried that as I lose more weight i'll just have a big flat tire hanging around my waist I have a neighbor that had the RNY surgery and lost a ton of weight...no pun intended...but he still has a belly of loose skin. Just a thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
