    I carry my weight very evenly. So much so that it is really hard to notice when I lose weight because losing inches takes forever.

    I carry most of my stubborn weight in my upper torso, so arms/back/breasts. One of those is a good thing, the rest make coat shopping torture. Fortunately, I haven't gained enough weight to ever have to deal with back breasts, 'cause that's what my body shape tends towards.

    In about the worst place possible for a woman IMO - right above my illiac crest, aka, the love handles. I will sit here with HUGE love handles with defined arms, legs, ribs starting to show, and even a visible outline on my stomach, with gigantic fat rolls right where my waist "should" be.

    I do put some on my very upper thigh and hips, but it wouldn't look horrible compared to the rest of me. Those rolls, however....gross.

    OMG! I have this, too! Even when I get lean enough for visible abs and v-cuts, I still have the freakin' love handles!
