Loss of body fat

dmcforthewin

Hi All! I have been eating healthy (low carb) and exercising for the past 1 and half months and I am noticing fat loss by my measurements and the way some of my clothes are fitting. I have noticed a loss in my neck, legs, hips, thighs, butt and the width of my shoulder and upper chest areas. However, I still feel the same in my waist and stomach. Has anyone loss fat in a lot of places first, before noticing it in the stomach and waist? I am hoping I will eventually see some progress in the other two areas. Maybe I am losing some fat in the stomach, but just don't feel or see it yet. I don't know. Thanks!

I've lost 50 pounds and my pants are the same size.

Some has come off my stomach but not much. It's normal I think.

I've lost about 55 pounds, and I have seen much bigger changes in my hips, chest, back, arms, legs, etc than my waist. I am now down in the healthy weight category, but still have quite a bit of fat left in the belly area. I have about 10-12 pounds to go to my goal and I probably have another 3 inches to lose around the waist. Just starting to see some muscle definition in the ab area.

Seems pretty normal based on other posts here... Keep up the great work!

For me I didn't feel or notice the loss in my belly until I looked at photos, then I could see a difference. And I still have to glance at the photos now and then to remind me of the progress, so even if you never share them I recommend some selfies to mark progress on the journey.

Thanks! That is reasuring to know. I have been overweight in the belly area for a long time. Sometimes I think to myself, will I ever lose weight there? It has been a part of me for a long time. Maybe it will just be at a slower rate, then the rest. Congrats on your weight loss. That number is awesome. I am at 21 so far and have been doing my weight loss program for a month and a half, so far. Hopefully I can keep it going this time.

I appreciate your post! Sounds like you are doing great! Can't wait to start seeing the fat in the back going too. It probably is, but I sometimes can't tell, but then sometimes I feel like I see a slight difference.

I am so bad with taking the pictures on a regular basis. I will need to tomorrow. I am the type of body that the fat is spread everywhere evenly, (except belly), toes all the way up to forehead LOL. I probably am losing belly fat, but just don't see it by looking, since there is more of it in the one area. Thanks for the reminder about the selfies!
