Ugh, so my stomach has always been my problem area
I feel like I am losing weight everywhere other than my stomach (which is probably not entirely true, but it seems to at least be the slowest)
Any tips on improving this?
I know you can't "choose" which areas to lose fat at, but I'm hoping there is something that will help at least a little?

    Just be patient. When people say that it can be the last to go, they are being literal. It can come down to the final few pounds.

    Just keep it up, that last little bit eventually goes away unless there is excess skin. Eventually, that will shrink up too unless you are extremely overweight.

    For me, it is the very last to go, and even then i have given up of ever getting a perfectly flat stomach ever again. In my 20's and 30's yes, but now in my mid 40's i have to make do with a little pot belly. I have to get down to a low weight to get rid of my belly completely, and i end up looking like an emaciated drug addict on the upper part of my body (as my family so sweetly phrased it :tongue: ).

    For me, it's the love handles, those pads of fat right over the kidneys. First go on, last to go off. It's been that way ever since I was in college, and that hasn't changed in over 30 years. Not a thing I can do about it either.
