    All it takes is fat loss. Caloric deficit + Exercise = Reduction in love handles. We all carry fat differently, and all lose in certain places more quickly than others, so it may take a long time if that's a primary storage place for you, but they will shrink. :smile:

    at least that gives me some hope that they will be gone SOMEDAY. so many people tell me that they will never go away..how depressing to think about that!! :cry: but maybe, they will be gone by the time my kids graduate. ha!

    :laugh:

    Oh they'll go away... I think people say that because they've lost hope, or simply haven't tried.

    That's my big problem area too. And they suck. I've lost 30 some pounds and dropped a few sizes in clothes but I just can't get them to go away. maybe that's where the next 20 I lose will come from.

    Great job on the weight loss!! I have 40 to go before I'm back to my pre preggers weight...i'm hoping that once i lose the first 30 lbs, i can see some real change!!

    I lost weight but I still have them but their not as bad as it use to be. I think after having a child its extra hard to get rid of them but it can be done.


    Also my mom and grandma have big hip so I may never get to fully get rid of them.

    I never had them until about two years ago and my fat is usually on my belly not hips I have small ones so the first place I have noticed weight loss at is my love handles. I think you lose them slower if its the main area you store fat because everything on me has thinned out but my tummy.
