    Same here! I've lengthen and leaned out almost everywhere else except my tummy pooch. :(

    Mine is more than a pooch & i haven't leaned out, so maybe I gotta just keep going? We both just gotta keep on & just hope we get there! AND SOON!

    I think so! :O) In fact, from looking at your pictures..it looks like our bodies are turning into about the same shape. Except I'm about 5'' taller.

    Want to say sorry. Maybe its my jealousy kicking in?? i don't know :-(

    Maybe.

    I know I get jealous and angry sometimes.

    I've never been over 200, but at 199.6 or 196 and 5'3", I was obese and pre-diabetic. 12 lbs lighter, I'm still obese and pre-diabetic.

    I had a roommate that thought a size 6 or 8 was HUGE. She offered me some of her clothes that were "too big". I was a size 16/18 at the time. She really didn't see any difference between a size 6 and an 18.

    That really brought out jealousy and resentment in me.

    And even if someone is in their ideal weight range, they may not have the composition that they want. They can be an ok weight, but still have too much body fat (which I think is what's going on with the OP). Do they not get to ask for help?

    I wanna weigh ab 125, but YES too much body fat! Really gotta trim it down.

    I also get jealous.

    I consider myself fairly normal, but it's hard sometimes. Where I study, everyone is incredibly fit and flat. I remember one painful episode where two of my (at the time) best friends (both size 0) were going to go as hot biker chicks for halloween, and they were joking about how, if I wanted to join them, I'd have to get the costume custom-made (me being a size 4). They didn't think I heard them. But I did. This place can be toxic sometimes. It's hard to keep your grip on what's normal and healthy here.

    Thankfully, I have new friends now.

    shorty do the p90x or insanity if you can't afford it look on craigslist.. :D I might get it later once I get money. because I have seen TONS of transformation videos on youtube

    I know all about those programs. I'm into beachbody,. My coach is doin insanity right now. It's kinda insane lol I dont think I'm ready for that, looks hard as heck. My friend attempted p90x and said it was rough. I do Turbo Fire, another beachbody product. U might wanna look n2 it too. It's intense cardio, just not as hard as insanity lol. Like I stated up there, I'm gonna start chalean extreme in ab a month, it's a weight lifting program. I wanna build up some muscle & then do sum cardio so it'll have a better effect/affect (i always get confused w/ those 2 lol)

    i would kill to have a bigger stomach. my stomach is one of the thinnest things on my body, but because of this everything else is huge, and i can't wear shorts or tank tops or tight jeans without feeling like everyone is staring at me.

    Yup, pooch-meister here. Partly PCOS and a tendency to store in the middle, partly leftovers. My arms, legs, back and face are all very firm and muscley (well, less so my face, you know what I mean!) but my stomach is jelly on a plate. I currently weigh 145 with a goal of 140, but I suspect it may take a little more than that to get rid of the dreaded pooch.

    Going to have to start lifting heavier than my 14kg kettlebell to shift the wobble...

    I get jealous all the time. Everyone does. I think it's normal.
    and omg! if they think size 4 is big, sum1 needs 2 slap them!! That was really rude.
    Idk if I could ever b a 0. I think my hips might b too wide. Not every can b. It's not the pants size that's important anyways. I'm sure sum pretty fit ppl out there dont wear 0.

    I'm a lot bigger than you but I did the jillian Michael's 30 day shred and lost inches off my tummy. I lost inches all over but most noticably on my 'pooch' as I like to call it LOL. I think she has other dvds that target tummy areas but I haven't tried any others.

    On a side note, I'm 5' 4 and carry my goal weight is 150 but now I'm a bit worried I will need to lose more if you are in the 130s and still feel your tummy is not as trim as u would like. It's very hard when I was so overweight to imagine what I will look like at a healthy weight.

    BTW you look great in your profile pic. Good luck

    Want some of mine? I'll gladly share. But seriously, I'm sorry. Anything that makes u insecure like tht just sucks. I mean, anything that's not real loose around my hips, just gives me like muffin top. My 8's are getting big, like I can pull them out & there is a gap, but they still give me like muffin top. My love handles are SO hard to work with. I feel like I dont look good in anythin but a t shirt tht gives me no shape at all.

    What is PCOS? How tall are you?
    My goal is 125 & mine better be gone by then or i'll just pull my hair out!

    Hi there,

    PCOS - Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. One of the symptoms is a tendency to store fat around your middle, as well as just hanging onto weight generally.

    I'm 5'5", but quite a muscular frame, so let's see what 140 looks like and take it from there :)

    I've lost 47lbs & my belly has REALLY went down, but not all the way down. Unfortunately you can't spot reduce. U just lose where u lose from & that's that. Since we're all different, we all lose from different areas at different times.
    My friend is 5'4 & when she was 150, I think she could squeeze into jr size 8s. I'm an in taller and at 150, i was still in a 10. I got n2 an 8 finally around the mid 140s. Still in an 8 now, tho gettin big. My friend is now ab 134 and almost in a 4. We're 5lbs away from each other & almost 2 pants sizes. Her belly is practically gone, while mine isn't. She & I are just different.
    But it all depends on what you're aiming for. She & I wanna b completely fit. 20% or less body fat & toned. abs biceps & the like. We both wanna b around 125-120 (mayb lower) I know some people dont' want that, so if not, then u dont have to go so low. I seen a girl 5'4 140 & her stomach looked pretty flat. boy was I jealous lol. But it always just depends on ur body.
    Thank u so much! Good luck to u too! Feel free to add me if u wanna :D

    Can I ask something? WHY do people complain when they are in there 100's??? HAve you ever thought of people in there 300's that have MORE FAT than you!! Just be thankful that you are not big as me!!!!!

    Good luck with your journey..

    Same situation. lol! I'm 5'3" and cw is 143lbs. I seem to carry more fat around my belly, hips, and thighs. I've been told you can't spot reduce, so I try to mix cardio with strength training. I'm slowly but surely shrinking that stubborn fat. Good luck, you look like you're doing an awesome job!
