Losing Weight Really Unevenly?

Ciara108

So I've been doing good with my weight loss but the thing is I'm losing it kinda strangly. I seem to lose weight very easily on my arms then a bit on my legs but none on my torso. Like I get that a bit unevenly is expected but I'm not sure to this extent is right. My wrists and arms are just tiny, I can see my veins and bones and same with my legs, it's making me self concious because I don't want to lose too much and look unhealthy but that's what's happening for those areas. But I've taken measurement for around my middle and it's an unhealthy measurement but my bmi is healthy. It just looks strange and I don't really know how to fix it.
Any one with a similar problem or any advice?

There isn't anything strange about losing weight unevenly. Your body is doing what it was designed to do base on genetics and fat distribution. You didn't gain the weight evenly so don't expect to lose it that way. I have a 6" wrist but still have 20 lbs. left to lose around my torso and thighs.

It's not uncommon to lose fat more noticeably in some areas than others. That's just how the body works and genetics will determine how your body will lose fat.

Your problem areas will be the last to go. I still have lots of abdominal fat but my arms and legs are small and I can see my ribs a bit. It takes time but the rest will slowly melt away.

WTG on the 28 pounds! Just keep doing what you've been doing and it will come.

I've found what others above have said to be true.

I lost weight first where I gained it last. I've never had much on my stomach, but started putting some fat on there at my heaviest and it was first to go when I started losing.

It doesn't happen evenly either. So far, my waist has gone from 44 inches to 29, whilst my hips went from 52 to 45.

Sadly you can't spot reduce and it's due to body shape/genetics. I have child sized wrists too, and small feet. It leads me to conclude I'm actually supposed to be on the small side, but I'll always have a big bum.

That's what liposuction is for. Take a little out of the midsection and those fat cells are gone, so even if you gain weight again it will go elsewhere.

I don't know if you can do anything to spot reduce your stomach area but it sounds like you have an apple shape.

Completely normal. If I wasn't lifting, my arms would be piddly little things. I tend to lose my weight there first as well as my face, then comes my legs, followed by my middle.
