Did any of you get a stomach roll after losing weight?
I never had, and I still don't, have stomach rolls of fat, but I noticed something new happening recently. When I stand or sit straight, everything's fine, but if I'm in a crouched position, I get a stomach roll where there's like a crease in the middle of my stomach.
I just find it weird because when I was heavier, I promise I never had that happen to me before. Leaning or not, I just had a blob of a stomach that was quite firm and non-rolly (if that makes any sense xD). I only noticed it happening a few days ago when I sat down to study, and it's taking some getting used to. Is this a good sign that my workouts are going well (I'm on a journey to a toned tummy!) or does this just happen as some of us lose weight? Also, I don't think it's extra skin. I've never been morbidly obese, and I've seen what loose skin looks like.

If it's what I think, I'm pretty sure it's 100% normal.

Sounds like loose skin. As you continue to eat healthy and exercise, this should diminish over time.0

I think everyone has that

That's normal because there has to be some allowance in order to bend as a human.0

I noticed last week that my stomach, which usually poked completely out, now has an indentation at my navel. It's weird to see it. I'm assuming it means that I'm losing weight around my hips?0

Neldabg, I'm betting you just noticed it for the first time but it was already there. I don't think it developed from losing weight.
You probably just noticed it because you're thinking more about your body and its changing while on a weight loss program.
Either way, congrats on your weight loss!0 -

Wow. This makes a lot of sense. I wonder now what other things are not new, but rather are more noticeable.
Thanks. ^_^0 -

This. It sounds like the extra skin required to allow your torso to bend.0 -

The only place it isn't common is in magazines and a-z list celebrity selfies ...and that's just because of Photoshop0 -
