Hardest Area for You?

So just curious which part of your bodies are the last to lose that extra bit of fat?

For me it's the lower belly. Starting to get more lean but the stubborn lower belly fat is trying hard to make permanent residence! :)

    Lower belly but I think this is the most common hardest area for most people. When it comes to belly fat I think the biggest thing you have to keep in mind is patience. It doesn't happen as fast as we would like.

    This thread helps keep my head in the game:

    Thighs and butt. And when I started bulking it took about NO TIME for them to gain back lol.

    Upper arms! I lost about 50lbs and hardly any of that came off my upper arms.

    I'm terribly pear-shaped. So everything between my belly button and my knees is just a nightmare.

    That's how I felt too! When I started MFP I was 34-29-44! My thighs were huge and everything was cellulite-y.

    I'd say lower belly and hips... I have loose skin too so it's a mix of both at this point but the skin makes it look 10x worse :(

    Wow! That's very inspiring for me, considering how fabulous you look now. :)

    lower belly, def - 3 kids (bless them) - and I must be screwing up with my weightlifting, because I have a tendency to be big up top anyway, and lately (been lifting a lot) I don't have enough definition between my deltoids and my biceps. I just look too heavy when I'm not flexing. :(

    I gain everywhere, so I lose everywhere. I'm happiest that I've gone from a 38 D7 bra to a 36 D3, but don't think my next 20 lbs will show such dramatic loss there because I wore that size at 13 years old when I was already 5'11" and only weighed 145 and believed I was fat.

    Can I go back in time and slap that girl silly?

    If I compared myself to everyone else if say huge thighs too, but that's a consequence of the hourglass figure and honestly probably the safest place in the body to hang onto fast is the butt and thighs. They look in proportion even if they make skinny jeans a trial.

    I currently am down to 188 from 270 and my tummy is pretty flat.

    I'd be really happy with anything at this point though. I think I'm just ecstatic to be getting back the me who could do things.

    My upper belly, between my belly button and bra band. Can't get that area any smaller unless I want to be a stick insect. Flared ribs don't help.

    Cheers, h.

    Inner thighs bug me the most, I guess.

    Maybe we should think about which body bits we like the most, though, rather than dwelling on the negative. After all, my thighs might be jigglier than I'd like, but they hold me up, let me walk-run-bend down.... My body works well and I'm healthy. We need to be happy with our bodies, too.

    The question was which part of your body is the last to lose fat, not which part of your body to you like the least.

    True. Certainly shows that my self image is a disaster.

    Thighs are the hardest for me. My boobs went very, very quickly though.

    Great responses all! :) Interesting to see how we all have different body parts that prove to be the most difficult.

    Abdomen, inner thighs, and this odd spot at the top outer "corner" of my pelvic bones (outer top of butt). Still have some fat there at 5'5"/122lbs.

    Upper body is looking pretty skinny (muscles show!), lower still a little padded, but since I'm health-motivated, not appearance-motivated, I'm Just Fine with all that. Heading into maintenance around current weight.

    My stomach. I'm not always sure what people mean by lower belly so I'm just going to say stomach.

    I lose evenly, or reasonably evenly. I have noticed recently though that I have underarm/boob fat where I'd rather not have it! Oh and calves, because gymnastics and dancing. I don't think they will ever be small but I'm an hourglass and I like having shapely ankles and calves, even if it does mean I'll probably never wear knee high boots.

    Arms. I have nice biceps but those bat wings aren't going anywhere...

    I'd say thighs. My belly isn't great either but I've had 4 kids so I think most of what's left is loose skin. Definitely lots of fat left on my thighs even though I'm at a healthy weight and my upper body is very slim and muscular.

    I'm guessing lower belly is talking about Mom's apron or belly flap or panniculus or whatever people call it.

    I'm with the pear-shaped ladies - belly, butt, and thighs are the last to lose weight.

    It seems like everything comes off and goes on at the same rate for me. It's pretty evenly distributed.

    My stomach area for sure. Boobs were gone like the fourth day of eating less, so unfair.
