    Belly Fat looks so much worse from the side! [Pics]

    So in the past year, I've gone from 200lbs to 152lbs and I'm super proud of myself and happy with the changes to my body, but one thing that really gets to me is how my stomach looks from the side. I still have a lot to lose in that area, and I understand it's the last place to go but I can't help but feel it looks so much bigger from the side. Does anyone else have this problem?

      If you pull your underwear up over the pudge it won't look as bad. Anyhow congrats on your weightloss.

      You look amazing that is great progress and a huge weight loss from your starting point! If tightening up through excercise doesn't work sometimes its excess skin and just needs a little nip tuck

      Congratulations on your weight loss. I feel your pain. Belly fat is the last body part to shrink :'(
      Continue with eating at a deficit. Weight lifting has helped me a lot to shrink my body overall
      Good luck in your healthy journey

      My body is the same way and the women in my family carry weight the same way, too :) My belly is always the last part to shape up, even then I don't have a completely flat stomach. I just try to stay away from a lot of salt and fizzy drinks to prevent bloat. By now I have embraced it and find pants that flatter the front - longer shirts.

      Hopefully building some muscle will help. That's what I'm telling myself, too.

      I need a nap, I thought that said inside. WTG on your loss.

      Ah yes. My body is similar. I look thinner from the front than the side. The only thing you can do is continue to work on losing fat. My starting point was nearly the same as you. I was fat in general but carried more, proportionally, in my belly as you can see below. The middle and right pictures were both at around 150-152. I'm more covered up but underneath I have the roll too.
