Question for maintainers from a pre-maintenance LCer

terez · 03-06-2011, 01:31 PM

This has to do with patterns of weight loss. Right now I look sort of like a clown (okay, little exaggeration) because all the weight is coming off my arms and legs and almost nothing is coming off my waist. I used to have an hour glass figure and never carried my weight there. My pants, even my jeans look like harem pants because the legs on them are so loose, and I've lost a couple of sizes in shirts, but my waist, almost nothing.

I just need encouragement that the weight loss will straighten out. That I won't continue to lose in my arms and legs until there's no fat there at all, and still have a belly and fat hips.

Anyone have an encouraging story to tell?

Thanks in advance!

well, how old are you? this becomes a problem even for thin women as they age, especially after menopause. some people have had luck with the Eades' Six-Week Cure for the Middle Aged Middle.

I'm not there yet. But I have had to take steroids for my lungs. It's more on my hips than stomach. I'm just round in the middle now.

Cardio will burn fat off your middle ... I can testify to that!
