Seriously, this fat roll on the top half of my stomach is bothering me!

I know, keep at it and it will disappear over time. But right now it's the only thing on my body that is not getting smaller and it just sticks out and I feel very self-conscious about it.

Just venting. I'm sure some of you feel my pain.

    I haaate that. Ive been concentrating on my ab muscles to lose inches across my waist and bust line, but the fat layer just takes time and a calorie deficit.

    Our problem spots are always the last to go. That's what makes them a problem :grumble:

    ^^^ Yep!
    Sadly....I do feel your pain. My lower abdomen is my problem. I have noticed that it is getting smaller.....slowly, very very slowly...but it is. It just takes time.

    Same here! If it went down i'd probably be a whole size smaller! But the rest of my body will go down first probably.

    My butt is like that. Every area of my body is getting smaller, but the butt remains. I don't *mind*, since I love my shape, but it's still rather irritating when clothes are too baggy but I can't buy new things because they won't fit over my butt.

    I swear, you can see it on Google Earth. I should rent out advertising space.

    If its cold to the touch its going to take some time.
    Stomach fat, thighs and *kitten* fat are like this die to the lack of blood flow.
    Blood flow is needed to move fatty acids.
    Once you get your body fat to a point where its just the trouble spots youll want to look into The Stubborn Fat Solution by Lyle McDonald.
    Also once body fat is low enough you could fast in the morning and stack caffein and yohimbe.
    Take a brisk walk.
    The yohimbe helps improve blood flow.
