been losing weight casually since december and have managed to shift 32lbs, going from a size 18 to a 14/16, but i just cant shift excess fat from my back! anyone know any excersises that will help from experience? i generally have a hourglass figure so the only issue i have with my figure is my back fat,,, which doesnt seem to be going !

    It may just be the last fat to go - you can't spot reduce. Just keep losing weight and it will go down.

    In the mean time if you are aren't already heavy lifting, Check out Stronglifts 4x4 program. Great starter into lifting, which will help with definition and may help with losing inches.

    I am sorry but every time someone mentions back fat I just think of this:

    Correct. You can't spot reduce. Just keep losing and it will come off eventually.

    Yup, just stick with it. I hold my fat in the stomach so it's the last to go for me. It's purely genetic unfortunately. Keep on losing BF and you will get there.

    LMAO me too!

    (and everytime I look in the mirror)

    OP keep up the good work and as you lose it will go away as you get closer to goal.

    In high school when I lost weight my back fat finally started to go away. Just gotta keep lowering your body fat %. Here I am now 15 years later trying to get rid of that damn back fat again, among other fat :wink:
