Ive always carried fat in my stomach since I could remember. I was very lean around 5yrs old,
but the older i got, stopped eating well and all my fat went to my stomach and still does today (due from genetics mostly)
I also have Hypothryoid which i take medication, that could have something to do with it.
Thru calorie counting and eating better , I was able to go from 156 to around 127ish lbs.
BUT not an inch from my stomach, so now I look preggo, being small everywhere else and so big there.
First photo is what my stomach looks like now(relaxed, im not pushing it out)
and the second photo is me Sucking it in (on purpose) and what id rather
it really look like. I don't touch fast food, I stopped eating gluten and bread. Im not a veggie eater, but
right now i eat the ones I can handle (baby spinach and asapragus). I like all leans meats and eat them everyday.
For fats, almonds and avacodos. Eggs, egg whites, protein shakes/bars. Im close to the low carb range
and also dropped my sugar intake. I upped Protein and Fat and doing 1500 cals.
I was curious about insulin resistance but I eat only Low Gi foods. I know last time
I checked my Coristol was on the high side, but idk if its high all the time to be causing this.

Hi!
You already have a thread started about this topic. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1310858-doing-something-wrong-need-to-take-another-route?page=1#posts-20301348
Did you read the link provided?
If you are losing a significant amount of weigh but have not lost anything at all off your stomach, I would suggest that you talk to a doctor to see if there is a medical reason for it.
All we can help with is general fat loss.0 -
Also not to jump on Sara's toes but at 4"11 you are still carrying a lot of fat
I would suggest you start lifting - to try to keep the muscle you have, I'm guessing from your other posts that you've lost fat and muscle - and you lose from your stomach last. If that's where it goes first then that is often where it comes off from last.
Lifting while you try to lose more weight will help you lose mainly fat - and you may start to notice a difference in your stomach.
Did you take before and after pictures and measurements - if you haven't lost a single inch then I wold defo go to the doctors.0
