Where does the fat actually go??

I know for me I'm losing centimetres all over. I seem to just be getting smaller all over - I'm the same shape as I was before, just on a smaller scale.
I'd love to focus the weightloss on one area (TUMMY!) but I appear to be losing boobage as well as tum. Meh.0 -

I WISH I was losing boobage! I've had big boobs my whole life and they got bigger when I gained weight, and I want them GONE. They're so annoying. Bleh.0 -

Small confession: I'm certainly not lacking in the boob department. But I like 'em! They're the one bit of me that I didn't really want to get smaller!
My tummy though. That can just go on its merry way any time it likes.0 -
Can't remember but I remember this for cooking fat :laugh: (240O2 + 5C51H88O6 = 255CO2 + 22H20)0

Kirsty_UK: I was waiting for someone to make an Adipose reference! They're so cute! And squishy! And I don't want to know how many of them would "walk away" from my body.... lol.0

Haha, Yay Thanks guys Pleased I wasn't the only one wondering too lol.
I actually think I understand the whole process now
Thank you for asking! I've often pondered this question but was too lazy to research the answer!0 -
Great thread, I always wondered this too
Does the amount of water you drink affect the amount of fat flushed out of you then?0 -

The byproducts of the "burning" as either sent out through the kidneys then voided in the urine) or back out to the Liver to go out in bile through the colon. Stay well hydrated.0 -
Great thread! Thanks for asking. Very informative0

Body fat breaks down during a series of complex metabolic processes.
When you burn more calories than you consume, your body uses fat (triglycerides) for energy. This causes your fat cells to shrink. In turn, triglycerides are broken down into two different substances — glycerol and fatty acids — which are absorbed into your liver, kidneys and muscle tissue. From there, the glycerol and fatty acids are further broken down by chemical processes that ultimately produce energy for your body.
These activities generate heat, which helps maintain your body temperature. The resulting waste products — water and carbon dioxide — are excreted in urine and sweat or exhaled from your lungs.

It's not a stupid question at all, I had the same thought so researched the answer
I also researched it and couldn't have explained it better.0 -
Well, lots of people 'lose' their fat - so it is probably under beds and down the back of sofas everywhere. Other people 'loose' their weight, so we should all look out for herds of the stuff roaming free!0

So then the "floating poop contains excess fat" theory is bunk...0

Great post. Thanks!0

LOL.. Ok I know this is a strange question please don't judge me for it lmao BUT.. whe we 'burn' fat where does it go? I don't quite get it.. Does it magically turn to water and we sweat it out? does it make it's way into our bowels and is disposed of 'naturally'?
I just want to know how our body actually gets rid of the fat once it has been burned or what have you.. Please help lol.. and once again I apoligise for the weird question.. just curious..
Where does the wood go when you have a bonfire? Same place as the fat. It's burned as fuel and heat is given off...0 -

No.0 -
I have often wondered that as well. I drink alot of water and I try to run everyday. I have ran for the past few days and I try to do it till I sweat alot, plus I hate "be energized for women" Supplements. I always figured it was disposed of my sweat and bowel movements. lol0
