You've obviously never had a large friend get small very fast. Check any number of weight loss sites and there are horror stories of these results.

Where in the thread does it say she is working on her core? She says she is having difficulty losing belly fat and that she works out and lifts. Glad you were so insightful. Just because you said it doesn't eliminate the question.

Women over 40 are more likely to store fat in their stomach area.

If you're retaining weight in your belly area, are you doing exercises that directly target the core? Past a certain age it is difficult to lose belly fat and if you lose weight too fast it results in excess skin. I usually lose weight in my mid-section last as well.
