Lumpy Fat?

Jonna13 · December 2012

So I have been counting cals since the birth of my son (2 months) and exercising since I got the go ahead from my OB (about 2-3 weeks now). I noticed today when I pinch my fatty areas it's lumpy/grainy fat especially in my abdomen. It used to be more of a firm fat if that makes sense.

Anyone know what this means? And will it go away eventually?

I read somewhere that your fat cells shift and change as you lose weight, so that might be why you feel less 'solid' when you pinch your fatty areas. I have no clue if it's true, but I imagine the lumpy bits will get smaller as you lose.

Your body will go back to normal. As long as you work out, tone, and lose weight, all the hormones and everything will even out, and you will be back to your old self in every way. But it takes a year--especially if you are breastfeeding.
