i have this weird roll under my boobs that's either fat or skin and i dont know how to get rid of it. i've always had it and to be honest i dont think i'll ever get rid of it because even when i had an eating disorder and lost a lot of weight, it was still there. the fat seems to disappear from everywhere except this area. that's got me wondering..is it skin? it's just so frusturating :(

    I think I have the exact same thing. It kind of sits on the bottom edge of your rib cage? I don't know what to do about it though. :( Might just be here to stay.

    I have it too sometimes xD just fat. Have to decrease your body fat % for it to go away. stubborn area!

    HEY I HAVE THAT TOO! Or had it! I got rid of most of it by doing dancing workouts and various arm workouts. It was actually the first part of my body that started to vanish. I have an unnaturally large ribcage so I am still wide around there, but most of the fat there is gone! If you want some ideas let me know, send me a message private and I will give you a list of things to help!

    yup. used to have it too. My ticker says i have only lost 7 pounds, but thats just since i joined MFP. I have lost 27 altogether. Try to do more chest flies (or with heavier weights) and push-ups. This is said to help with sagging boobs but can HELP with that stubborn area too. Help, not eliminate. Sorry :( I don't know what else to tell you, mine mostly went away after 15ish pounds.

    Mine showed up there after I had my son. Figured when my organs re-positioned themselves once he was out, they went back in place wrong, lol.

    I've always had that fat under my boobs too! However, when I've lost weight in the past I noticed it does shrink down a bit. What is more annoying about mine is that it's a fatter pocket on my left side! I wonder if it has anything to do with my left side not being my predominant hand? My right boob is the bigger one so I don't think it's that. Anyway, post if you find exercises that get rid of that under the boob fat! I'm curious myself! Glad I'm not alone! =-)

    didn't know so many of us have this problem !
    so from what i've gathered, i think it should just come off if we lean up & get rid of a little body fat by both cardio and core exercises :)
    thankyou all of your for that info! huge help.

    I cannot tell you how great it is to hear that I am not the only one with this awkward thing! I know that sounds horrible, but its been the thing im most self conscious about! I joke around and call them my A cups (Im a C) but its embarassing! I have a permanent skin line underneath them and tend to sweat there during the summer so I'll have a line across my shirts. I am embarassed everytime I sit down because it shows through my shirts sometimes. Will it really go away if I tone up? I was considering starting to research plastic surgeons because I thought I was one of the only people with this and that it would never go away!

    I have it too and a plastic surgeon told me only surgery would fully eliminate (it is much smaller - have lost 116 lbs; 7 lbs to go)! mine is also larger on the left side!

    Circumferential abdominoplasty - remember I have lost 116 pounds; lots of skin! I don't know if I will really ever do it - MAJOR & expensive surgery!

    I'm so glad there's others out there with this problem. I have it too and It ruins my mood a lot. I've lost 13 pounds but the roll hasn't budged. I know it's probably genetic but I MUST find a way to get rid of it! I'm guessing a lot of cardio, toning and patience is the key!

    Hey I know this is a ridiculously late reply to the thread, sorry about that!
    But I think how you sit has something to do with it because when I sit up straight it's virtually not there, it's only when I slouch that it becomes visible so maybe slouching kind of enhances or worsens it?

    I have this issue. I also had a tummy tuck w/lipo done less than a year ago. My plastic surgeon told me bf he ever operated that this area is one of the hardest to remove the fat....and he was correct! It is def not as large but still there. He said cardio and ab work outs would be beneficial to remove the rest! So don't bet on the surgery to remove it!

    I feel so much better to know im not the only one. I have asked people about this forever it can be so embarassing. Stops you from wearing that tight dress because you need a waist cincher to get rid of those lumps to smooth you even when you been working your *kitten* off for your health!!!! More core excercises- got it!!

    Yes I have it too and I HATE it! I think it's one of them things you have to be in the 'athletic' body fat % category to get rid of :(

    Lol don't worry about it. I have it too and it is by far the most awkward part of my body. I've always had a big ribcage as I've been involved with competitive swimming most of my life. Now that I've quit, gained some weight, it literally looks like I have two pairs of boobs haha. I have a pretty flat stomach and this is the only thing that bulges out. I'm still not giving up on trying to lose it though!

    Same issue here. Since I lost my job back in January, I have put back on about 40 pounds and it hit all at once it seems. I have the the under boob fat...and I hate it! I feel like everyone stares at it so I wear loose clothing which does nothing for me. Unattractive. I was quite active on the weekend when I was in my 20s and went dancing often. I wish I had the time to go again...but don't see myself going to a club at my age lol. Anyone tried the sean t dance workouts? I'm seriously thinking of ordering. I need to be more active!

    =( I have this same issue as well and I feel like the odd one out at the beach with a second pair of boobs! I was wondering if there was maybe another name for our condition to be able to research about it a bit more. When I press on mine I feel my rib straight away but I cannot say that for the rest of my abdomen area. Any assistance would be great! Maybe its a rib issue? It sticks out more than the others ? LOL I don't know just want a solution really!

    This! I never had excess weight in that area until after I had my boy 6 years ago and it hasn't shifted since!

    This is a major problem for me, however, I think that the dancing twisting cardio is what will do it. I also completely agree on the children giving this to me, it is right on top of my bottom rib, and I can't get rid of it yet. But I will keep at it.

    Aaaagh this!! I have had this ever since I can remember, and i'm only a teenager. I've lost around 25lbs in the past and still this annoying fat roll won't go away :s
    I'm hoping in a couple of years i'll look into plastic surgery for it, because it just seems like the only thing to do. I hate it, I want to be able to wear bikinis
