Why can't we lose everywhere at the same time? I see it in my ribcage, back, and waist, but when is the butt gonna go? Are you guys seeing the same results?

    I'm not seeing it in my back at all. My legs and arms, some in tummy. What's your workout regi?

    Same here - top down. I needed new bras before I needed new jeans.

    I get this too. My collarbones start to show, ribcage shows when I breathe in / change tops (and I hate that) yet I still have a little pouch of a belly and fat to lose from my thighs.

    It's all genetics though unfortunately and you can't spot reduce fat. You just have to give it time and the weight will come off your butt at some point :)

    It's called life =) Nothing you can do about it; it's based on your body's genetics.
    ie. I will have hips and a butt FOR.EV.ER. Oh, they've gotten slightly smaller, but they'll never totally shrink...

    This is the story of my life! As a very curvy pear, I look skinny in the waist and back but fat down below!:angry:

    LOL! I told my husband this morning I felt like a toothpaste tube being squeezed out. Under my rib cage looks fabulous, but the spare tire is still hanging there. :(

    I used to be in a similar situation but now I am starting to see a loss in my lower body (but at almost half the rate at what I'm losing in my waist). It will come off eventually. Personally, I'm more worried about looking disproportionate.
