Soft body fat/skin ?

Candyhorse105

I haven't had much luck in loosing weight or inches.

but i've noticed my stomach/back feels really soft and flabby, is that a sign of weight loss? or about to loose?

what is going on?

At your highest weight, your skin has stretched "just enough" to cover it all, and your skin/fat feels tight and somewhat firm. As you lose weight, it doesn't have as much to cover, so it gets a little loose and your fat feels softer. So yes, it's a sign of fat loss.

I literally just posted the same question on my personal timeline. I noticed that the fat especially in the tummy area is very squishy. I was told by a trainer that the fat is loosening up and it's a good sign. Hopefully the skin will recoop. Any further info would be great.

I definitely noticed the same thing. I always felt really firm, even with a lot of extra fat. Even losing only 10 pounds, I suddenly felt a lot more jiggly! It tripped me out. It's firming back up, though.

Im not sure about this particular topic.. but what i am sure is, if you are consistent with your diet plans, you will get where you want to be. so good luck

Found the answer on Bodybuilding.com

'Basically it stated that hard fat is fat that has not had a lot of blood circulated through it in a while. When you start to excercise the fat will become softer and more jiggly. This is a good thing. Hard fat puts you at in increased risk of a heart attack"

Another:

"THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS.

Like a block of frozen ice on the road during the winter. It's hard, and as time goes by and it gets warmer, it becomes slush. "

Another

"The skin isn't getting "temporarily looser", rather the fat is getting "softer"...that's the process it goes through before it's offically "cut"...

This helped me, hope it helps you.
