Your ribs are bone. They don't change a whole lot as an adult.0

huh?
Are you afraid your ribs are going to stick out? Your ribs aren't going to change if you lose weight.0 -
Go down where??0

Where are your ribs now?0

Yeah, but if you are carrying extra fat around your rib cage, the size of your rib cage will shrink as you lose weight. It happened to me. A lot of women experience this as their bra brand becoming too big (i.e. going down a number in their bra size).0 -
Hey,
Do they kinda flare out at the bottom? Have you had any kids?
Mine flare out but thats because i have had 3 big babies and i am only 5'2" lol Unfortunately even at my smallest my ribs still stick out!
I am guessing this is what you mean by them going down? So NO I doubt they will change! x0 -
If you mean that right now you can't tell where your ribs end and your stomach starts then your "ribs won't go down" but the fat over the ribs will come off as will the stomach so you will see more definition in that area?0

Where would they go? I'm confused.0

Happened to me the same way. My rib cage seemed like it was big, but as I shrunk, I realized that it was just firmer there, and it did get "smaller"......0 -

I know what you mean!! I have this, from having kids. Mine blend in with my fat too.
The past few days though, it's starting to form the top of a six pack from exercise and strength.
I think they WILL go down, just keep working at it!0 -
Ribs are ribs are ribs...they are a cage that go around to protect your organs. They won`t shrink? They grow as you grow into an adult, then they stop growing and as you put on weight the fat around you gets more, but your rib cage will remain the same even when you lose fat.0

I think she's saying that she has a large frame?
Your frame won't change no.0 -
Maybe you are talking abdominal muscles and not ribs??0

Same here, my ribs look like they stick out, but if you touch it, it's actually fat not bone. lol0 -
Im so glad you asked...I always wondered if I would end up looking odd because I feel bottom of my ribs stick out when I lose weight. This time I plan to find out, I'll let you know ;-)0

Yes they will. One of the first things, before fat, that you lose is your bones!0
