    You still have a a decent amount of weight until your goal weight so you are likely to start seeing it come off your stomach and mid section during these last 40-50lbs.

    I started at 222 and am currently at 171. It wasn't until the last 10-15lbs that I saw any change in my stomach. The change now is still small that only I can tell haha. But I figure it will become more noticable as I reach my goal weight of 140.

    yup. For me, my middle was the last to go. As I still have up to 20#'s more to go, I'm hoping for more improvement as I reach closer to goal.

    My middle is still a bit jiggly but at least it's now of normal size, (B36 W31 H36). I'd like to see a 3" drop from my waist but so far, everything else has gotten rock hard with heavy lifting.

    Legs, thighs arms, back...everything except me squishy middle :angry:

    Keep at it, it *must* come off eventually!!!!

    Not sure how much strength training you are doing, but you might consider increasing that. Also, increase the intensity of your workouts. Rest times during strenght training should be no more than 60 seconds. It sucks, but it works well and helps burn more fat. The muscle you add will make your scale weight go down slower, but it will help you burn more fat which will help with your measurements. What is the intensity of your cardio? Lower intensity is better for burning fat. High intensity will burn more muscle and slow your metabolism down. Also, look into sprinting, or any type of cardio where you get your rate up to 80% for 15-20 seconds then resting for 45-60 seconds. If you don't like sprinting, you can accomplish this on a stair climber or eliptical as well. How is your diet?
