Re: Strange question..............

Okay, this is probably a stranger reply!

Someone told me once that women, for the most part, lose weight from head to toe

but GAIN weight from toe to head! I thought it just an old wives' tale BUT -

I've lost about 70 pounds thus far and HAVE lost from head to toe! My face and

neck are so much thinner, I've lost five bra sizes, my pants bag at the waist

and fit in the hips! It's strange but this is what I've experienced!

Hello all I am really unsure how to say this without sounding really stupid.

Here goes nothing. I had my surgery on Aug 12 this year. I have lost 39 pounds

and my stomach does not look any smaller. I can tell a little in my legs and

my butt but my stomach still pokes out like always. Anyone else have the same

problem where it seems the stomach is not getting any smaller? I hope this makes

sense.

Thanks in advance.

My stomache is definitely smaller now, but I think it was the last

place I noticed losing--probably because it was proportionately the

largest part of my body. I noticed first in my feet (fluid

retention). I think I have lost the most proportionately in my

thighs/hips/butt. When trying to fit in clothes, my stomache gives

me the most trouble. Think I could go down a pant size if I were a

couple inches smaller just in the stomache. We can't choose where

the body decides to drop the weight. Toning and exercise can help

with appearance though. Hang in there. One day you'll just notice

your whole body looks a lot different.

PS--My comment about never gaining it back was more in reference to

our yo-yo dieting of the past and never really having a chance at

success and was in the context of the original message that the

person was worried she was losing slowly. I am well aware we can

regain weight.
