    Since apparently spot reduction is possible, please tell me how to do it. I would love to spot increase and put on some extra fat in my boob and butt spots. Thanks OP!

    You can't spot reduce.

    What your referring to is the building of muscle and changes to muscle fibers in those areas. You aren't actually necessarily reducing your fat content in those areas.

    Yup

    sure, your 30 days of doing whatever debunks all the scientific research out there. you may have spot reduced your brain.

    Yup, I honestly thought this was another person trying to sell a workout video or protein shake.

    You CAN spot reduce with my miracle Unicorn Cream. It's $150 for a bottle of it. PM me if you are interested.

    This statement has not been verified by the FDA. :wink:

    Haha awesome.

    If we can spot reduce, why did I lose the fat off my face first by jogging, while my legs didn't change at all?

    You'd think, if spot reduction worked, we'd all have started with thin faces from all the eating we did. :wink:

    I did 30 Day Shred and Ripped. Sure, I reduced in spots.

    ALL of them.

    So yes, you can spot reduce. But you're likely reducing ALL of your spots.

    The only thing that didn't reduce was my arms.... because they grew muscles.

    How do people know what a person can't do with their body? My friend and I spot reduced, we used certain exercises for certain areas, worked out in the storage room at work, and the tape measurer was the proof. Call it what you want, all you nay sayers. You say its not being reduced, its building muscle. What does the tape measurer say? What do those loose clothes say? That the area is smaller, right. Its only a play of words. I agree with the post writer, you can spot reduce. Regardless how you do it or what you call it, people don't listen to "you can't".

    If we can spot reduce, why did I lose the fat off my face first by jogging, while my legs didn't change at all? I think fat distribution is genetically programmed and it goes on and comes off accordingly. I put weight on from the bottom up and take it off from the top down, no matter how much I run on the treadmill or how many squats I do. I'm just now seeing a reduction in my legs after losing more than 30 pounds, most of it off my tummy (without doing any ab work until recently) and my upper body.

    Face reduction - fat not replaced by muscle.

    Leg staying the same - fat reduction replaced by muscle.

    Not a spot reduction. Just no muscle increase on your face.

    I'm one of the skinny finger/wrist computer nerds no matter how much weight I put on. Runs in my family I just hope I don't have over tiny bones or I'm never gonna be able to lift heavy enough to get the muscle I want.

    There was a challenge on here about 6 months ago, to do 200 crunches a day. I started the challenge and I'm still doing it. My belly is down - from two different tape measurers, and from the pinch test. I'm down 1.4 inch in my belly and waist ONLY. Call it what you want, 1.4 inches is 1.4 inches. If I ever decide to do something besides slow walking I'm sure I will get great results. I used a body blade ONLY for four months 2 years ago and got my arms down 1/2 inch in four months. My daughter did the same thing, using the blade only, and because she is young I guess, she got a whole inch down in the arms.

    LOL obviously you didn't read the post- running doesn't work! You have to do JM 30 Day Shred to spot reduce! Duh! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
    Almost finished a month of that and barely lost anything of my legs still ... but my face doesn't have an ounce of fat left and my waist is down almost two inches.

    The only sure fire way to spot reduce is liposuction!

    Guys, anecdotes =/= evidence. Please read some of the scientific work done on this concept.
    It baffles me that this thread is still going but as a "nay-sayer" I guess I'll bump :tongue:

    If spot reduction was possible then someone would have fat in their thighs, arms, penis, and have razor sharp abs. Just think about it lol.

    I ride my bike 5 miles a couple times a week. I dont lose weight but my calves are awesome!!!!

    One would think Id lose fat on my 50yr old thighs. I wish.

    No spot reduction there.

    Anyone know where I can get some sexy knee high boots that will fit around my calves?
