Weight Distribution

So I have a question. Is it true that certain places you carry more weight in will be the first to go when you exercise? Like if you carry most of your weight in your thighs, will they slim down first. Or is it the opposite? Cause in my middle area if I barely eat anything or anything unhealthy for that matter my stomach will shrink down quickly in a day or two. But the rest is still fat.

    It's a genetic thing. I carry my weight around the waist and that is the last place I lose it.

    It goes where it goes. From what I have seen where it goes is purely genetic, not where you are fattest. Some people it goes evenly. Others, it is uneven going more from one spot and seemingly not at all from another until that first spot reaches a certain point of loss.

    Not true. Likely your belly feels slimmer due to reduced bloating or water weight, but fat will come off where it wishes, not where you wish. For me, it seemed like it was from the top down. But Really, i got proportionally smaller all over.

    Genetics will basically determine where you lose the weight and how it comes off. There is no such thing as spot reduction which I'm sure you read on plenty of other threads. It's just a matter of keeping up the work and eventually the weight will come offperiod my only other suggestion is to lift weights it will help as far as muscle tone and definition

    I haven't found that too be true. I carry most of my weight on my thighs but it's my tummy that's had the biggest change.
