Can't Choose WHERE to Lose Weight From

This irritates me the most I think. Losing almost 20lbs so far..........not from where I want to lose it, which is my stomach (of course). Losing it from legs and butt. THANKS body. I know it will come, but damn, this gets my blood boiling.

Anyone else?

    I've lost 21 so far, and I seem to have lost most of it in the places you can't really measure. Little bit in the face (according to some people who hadn't seen me in a couple of months), I have more defined shoulders etc. but really only lost between 1-2 inches in the 'main' places, like waist, hips, thighs etc. I'm just hoping the next 10lbs and more will take the inches with them now, and trying to fit in some more heavy lifting.

    Saying that, it didn't actually bug me until this past week or two. Now it's just plain annoying.

    Trust that every person on Earth will say that they aren't losing it where they want. Blame your mom and dad.

    where it goes on first (primary storage) is where it comes off last...

    Look at it this way...you'd probably look pretty goofy with no belly and a big huge face and *kitten* and legs...your body is just keeping you in proportion.

    I feel your frustration! In the last 2 weeks I've lost 3 inches off my arms and half an inch off my stomach errrr

    Genetics, Genetics, Genetics.

    I thank my good ol' fam every day for the belly I was blessed with.

    For now I am just enjoying watching my body morph every day. The tummy will flatten. Give it time.

    YES!!! The rest of my body is perfect except for my stomach and it is infuriating!
    I will just continue to work out and try to eat right..
    I am going to incorporate more strength training - that seems to be the secret from what my research is turning up!

    Take underpants/swimsuit progress photos so you can compare them month to month, you have a lot to lose so you're probably losing all over and just don't realize it yet. It's easy to think that some part of you is still disproportionately huge if you don't have actual pictures to compare your progress.
