Just read this weight loss analogy today:

"If you want to empty a swimming pool, you have to drain the shallow end first. "


Apparently my muffin top is the deep end. :ohwell:

    Unfortunately true. Even at 12 % body fat, the definition in my lower abs and back are still lacking a little bit.

    I hate my muffin top!!! I've gone from a size 24 to 12 but I STILL have a super-size muffin top!!! Can you tell I'm angry about it? I can finally wear skinny jeans but what's the point if I can't wear flattering tops with them? Frustrating...

    haha I know!! I was so happy when I first bought a pair of skinny jeans that looked decent.. but to find shirts that extenuate that area.. pfft, forget about it!

    Hah!! so true!
    I can fit into a pair of skinny jeans but who wants to look at my belly hanging over the top! I sure as heck know I don't want to so why would anyone else!!! =) Thats my biggest problem, its so hard for me to buy shirts due to this, and lately I feel like every store I go into the shirts are all small and tight fitting- not looking good on my body!!! I've had two kids and my abdomen is sadly stretched out, I'm hoping loosing some extra wt will help shrink it a bit!

    Foundation garments are great for sucking in the love handles to wear a nice top with great jeans.
    I don't know what I would do without mine!
