    Stick with it, it pays off in the end. It takes patience and exercise. BTW, say goodbye to your boobs! lol :sad:

    It just depends...Some women just carry a lot of fat there. When I was thin I was a D...When I was at my heaviest almost 420 at 5ft3 frame when i lost the first weight of 190 (i gained 40 back after gallbladder surgery) I had some saggy but I have also nursed 5 kids. It is really not bad at all exercise that area and again I mention progesterone creme. I swear by it. You can rub it on your breasts and it helps them be firmer. It helps regulate periods for those that have bad periods too. Only get it however at the health food store make sure it is a natural organic one.

    Yes, the pube fat will diminish... along with the rest of the fat on your body as you lose weight.

    As to the boobs, do chest work... dumbbell butterflies, bench press, etc. Build up the pectoral muscles on the upper chest and your boobs won't look like deflated balloons. My trainer is constantly amazed that at 48 yrs old, and 120 lbs lost, that my boobs aren't sagging. However, I have gone down from a DD to a C/D (depending on cut of the bra).

    For me, no it didn't go away, but I always had a belly flap - c-section pregancy deliveries. I've been told by many including Drs if you lose over 100 pounds, loose skin will always be an issue. But, don' t let that deter you from your weight loss goals. The younger you are, the more elasticity your skin has. Spanx and other shapewear are also good to wear when you're working out to keep the skin firm instead of letting it jiggle and keep stretching. I had a belly fat removal - I didn't need lipo because all it was by the time I lost 160 pounds was just skin and it cost about $8,000. I saved my pennies (and unwanted calories) for 5 years in order to afford it. Hope this helps!

    The first time I ever lost a "significant" amount of weight I noticed in difference in Intercourse and I talked to my Gyn about it she told me that the heavier you are the "tighter" you are because of the fat in the pelvic region and that it is not uncommon to notice a difference in intercourse and that it might almost feel like (for lack of a better description) that there is nothing even going on...because of the loss of fat in the pelvic area...I remember her telling me that she had some women that were over 400 pounds and she could barely do an exam on them because they were so "tight" and that she had 90 pound women that she could stick a whole arm up (I really couldn't believe how candid she was with me lol)....I came home and told my husband that maybe I should just regain the fat for both of our sakes lol....

    I know that doesn't the OP question but just kind of an FYI for those that might be experiencing something similar and too afraid to ask!

    That is odd because I definitely feel "tighter" there since I shed the weight (both my own perspective and my hubby's observations). Maybe because of all of the exercise and muscles? I didn't just lose fat, I got pretty strong everywhere.

    LOL This is a sensitive subject for some.

    * Note: Lower belly fat is not FUPA.


    It is called FUPA (ask me later or Google) for a reason before you lose weight ! So assuming we are talking about the FUPA , then YES it can go away (genetics etc play a role here).

    Mine has gone away and looks like a brand new.. umm.. V. In fact, after some much needed and vigorous banging, it bruises. Yes, bruises! It hurts now because there is no cushion. Pro vs Cons.. I will take the bruising over the latter any day.

    Don't be embarrased :)

    My personal worry is my boobs. I like them at the moment, and if i could keep them like this and change everything else, that would be awesome, but i'm so scared they're gonna just look like empty carrier bags :(

    Does anyone have experience with this at all?

    I totally hear you! Added to the fact that I'm loosing sizes in the ladies, I also nursed 4 children! AND, all the women in my family have saggy boobs:sad: I swear, if I believed in plastic surgery, those would be the first thing to get a perk!

    Believe it or not, some men really love a camel-toe/fupa - there are even websites dedicated to them and it is very common to have when overweight.

    It usually, more often than not, lessens as you lose weight and becomes significantly flatter.

    However, for some, they will always have a bit of a protruding 'V'egion no matter what their weight and should never feel embarrassed about it...and actually if I were a man, I'd probably enjoy the extra cushioning :blushing:

    MY "AREA" WENT DOWN BUT NOT ENOUGH TO MAKE IT LOOK "NORMAL". I WILL END UP GETTING A LOWER BODY LIFT WITH VAGINOPLASTY AND THIGH REDUCTION TO HELP IMPROVE MY OVERALL DOWNSTAIRS HEALTH. TOO MUCH SKIN= NOT ENOUGH AIR. IT'S A FUN PLACE FOR BATERIA TO MEET, HAVE FUN AND CREATE LOVELY INFECTIONS. SO I HAVE LEARNED TO BE SUPER CLEAN AND NICE DOWN THERE AT ALL TIMES. THEN AGAIN, I LOST OVER 200+ SO YOU MAY NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE

    I've lost a significant amount of fat there, but I still have a little cushion. I'm not certain about anything feeling tighter per se, but I'm so much more sensitive to what's going on now that I don't have such an impressive barrier of fat between all the fun stuff. That, combined with the self confidence after weight loss, has made sex a whole new experience.

    Be patient, it will come off eventually

    Wow so many replies now
    thankyou to every one who replied im soooo sooooo relieved to hear it will go away
    you have no idea how terrified i was that maybe once everything else shrank i might look like i had a package when wearing leggings LOL!!!!.. ewww far out theres nothing sexy about anything to do with being over weight i dunno why anyone likes it (i know there are porn sites etc just about fatties lol)
    oh and im so not worried about my boobs they where big when i was 14 yrs old and size 6-8 (aus sizes)
