The biggest head-scratcher for me, though, is my back. I have this tiny roll on each side that absolutely refuses to go away. It will fade to almost nothing after a particularly awesome DD or the day after a good workout, so that tells me its probably water-weight related...but after twenty pounds gone, you'd think the roll would be more consistently gone, too.

So you're not the only one. I think we all have our stubborn spots, but if you keep JUDDDing and maybe try some resistance training, they'll eventually be beaten into submission.

Don't give up hope... I have pretty much been maintaining for about a month... And I am re- shaping even though I'm not losing pounds... I'm noticing that my back fat rolls are slowly getting less and less,
and the saddle bags are shrinking

Also, as much as we wish we could...you can't choose where you lose weight. I have read (somewhere?) that you lose weight in the opposite way of how it was gained. So, for me, I gain weight first in my stomach and waist area...typical apple body type. What that means is that is likely to be the last place I see results. Unfortunately, the waist really does effect your pants size. When I was thinner and did wear 9/10 10s 12s, etc I had a belly and muffin top with really thin legs and arms. I see weight coming off in my arms, legs and chest more than my waist.

I'm the opposite. I see weight coming off of my waist more than legs or hips, and also off upper body. I'm a pear shape.

I agree about the waist and a larger pant size. I could wear 6's right now if I would lose a couple of inches off my waist. My pants fit in the waist and are baggy everywhere else. it will happen but it sure is going slow in that area. Course I'm old too.
