Ive been trying to drop 10 to 15lbs since sept 1st. I just started logging mid oct. My clothes are somewht loser but my belly is still huge and especially when it bloats...very discouraging....i would love for my breasts to go down a cup size too....so are breast and belly fat usually the last to go? I cant wait til theyre smaller!!!
Fyi im 5'9 and somewhere between 155 and 165 prob. I dont do scales for body weight....

    It varies person to person but, yes, belly fat is a common last place to go. By last place I mean that it could literally be the last 2-3 pounds when your overall goal is 10-15.

    Depends on genetics of each person- for me the first to go is my boobs, last to go is my belly.

    Just keep losing body fat and eventually you will get there.

    Totally depends on genetics. Belly fat and boobs are always first to go for me. Last to go for me is thighs.

    For me I start tighting up in my calves, knees, and thighs not that they loose in inches but they start getting more toned and less jiggly. I do start to see inches over my boobs down to my pooch( biggest part of my stomach) within the first week, between just tighting up a tad and water weight lose of course.... But my mid section is always the last to go....it's easier for your body to tone up the muscles you have under the fat first, then your body works towards burning the fat....extra muscles actually help burn more calories faster....I also depends on the workout program you have, some isolates certain parts with strength training type of exercises, others do whole body with cardio type workouts, and some programs do both.a also watching salts, liquid calories, such as juices are simple carbs are easier for your body to digest so they go straight to stored fat..don't loose hope, I have to tell myself this stuff as motivation, just keep at it, days where u just feel doubt won't even be a memory theyll be completely forgotten once you've reached your goals.

    I had a total of 69 to lose. I have lost about 45 so far. still have some to lose but I had a lot of fat. I had an 38 waist(down to 28/29),my hips were like 45 inches(now 37/38) my thighs were 34 inches each(now 22/23). I have a metabolic order too so that could be why its taking me so long to lose weight and lose fat but my stomach is almost flat,still have a little roundness to it. but not nearly much fat on it now.

    Yes for me it was, I noticed it 1st in the face, then boobs (dang it) then everywhere else. Sounds like you are getting there just keep at it!

    It depends on whether or not it's primary fat stores for you...for most men it is...women seems to be pretty variable.
