Long torsos makes it harder to lose weight?

I have a long torso and a tummy that hangs over my, well, you know. I was told that having a long torso makes it harder to lose weight, especially from your stomach/core area. Is that true? I mean, a lot of success stories I've seen portray people with "shorter" torsos, but I feel that it shouldn't matter. Does it?

    Sounds like an excuse to me. I'm going with no.

    And the term you are looking for is "fupa."

    Thank you for that.

    And everyone else, thanks o.o I appreciate you taking me seriously. I mean, I wasn't going to let it stop me regardless, but I didn't know, either. Thanks you.

    I have a long torso and long legs as well.

    Situps are your friend. So are leg lifts during commercials.

    ;)

    And now for your serious answer, you're welcome:

    I have long torso and it doesn't mean jack when it comes to how hard or easy losing weight is.

    But it MAY make a difference in how long it takes to visually SEE the loss in that area. Keep with it and your tummy blubber will eventually melt off there too, just like mine did :flowerforyou:

    I'd think it's easier. I'm very short and I always thought it would be nice to have a long torso to spread some weight over.
