Weight Loss Question...

Hello... Probably a dumb question, but I am going to ask anyway. I know there is no way to target specific areas of the body for weight loss, but I have had people tell me that the last area you gained weight in would be the first area you lose it... Is this true?
When I was 200lbs I still had a flat stomach, but once I hit 210lbs I started getting a stomach so I was just kind of curious if that's how weight loss works... If so... I guess I can expect my stomach to shrink a bit since it was the last place my weight started to show...

I'm not sure how to answer this. As far as I know there's no hard, fast rule about this. I will say my rear end has become a shelf over the last year or two. I've lost 31lbs so far and can't tell anywhere except the shelf seems smaller. So maybe so...0

@JanetYellen Lol I can't get pregnant so I think I'm good in that department...
@Cynsonya I guess we shall see then lol... I have big thighs and butt as well, but it's always been like that so if this is true that would be the last place I lose my weight...

What a ridiculous statement, 100% irrelevant to the question.
Unfortunately, outside of cosmetic surgery, there is no way to target where you lose fat. It is mostly based on genetics.0 -
that's how it's worked for me - last on is first off.0
