OK, i figured I'd get the arm flab, but it's really annoying.  I can't reach for anything without the bat wings flapping around.  But what's the deal with my butt and thighs not getting smaller?  It's like I'm just melting from the chest to the waist!  Oh and apparently I have elf ears now because my head is smaller!!


But 99 pounds are gone forever and I'll happily take the flapping wings and elf ears and I'd do it again!!

jen you are too adorable!

i was actually going to post something similiar! i am losing at my butt and hips but nothing at my stomach at alll!! i just tried on a pair of 15 pants and they fit on the waist and the butt looks fantastic! BUT my chub is still to big for them!

like i guess now reading your post theres no set, proportional loss of weight in your body parts. like i lost my butt you lost head weight apparently, who knows about the next person!
ugh!!

BUT your last part is so awesomely right! i am 93 pounds down and id do it again and again and again!

LOL @ head weight!  My peeps around home would take that and run with it!  But I do have elf ears now.   Glad your butt looks good!  The muffin top will go away in time and you'll be even hotter!

I feel ya!  I have the same issue.  The best thing is working out.  Once I kicked up the cardio and weight training I have noticed my middle section (butt, thighs, stomach) finally shrinking. Some of it is extra skin and I will need some medical help to get rid of it.  The arms are very yucky even with all the new muscle I have from working out.  But, like you, I will take it!!

Yeah, my arms are much friendlier than I! lol  They keep waving long after I am done!  And, we won't even discuss my pannus (well I guess I already did in an earlier post!)  I would still take the weight loss any day.  Great trade-off in my opinion.
I have maintained for one year at this point.  I am steady at -120 pounds.  =)

I guess I have it easier because I've always loathed my arms, so I can't really loath them any more than I always did....LOL.

I still have body weight migrating around-as activity changes my body changes.  Right now my legs are tightening up from biking and horseback riding which makes me notice my belly more.  I'm going to start a core program of some sort soon.  I've had three lap surgeries now, and I think all those holes poked into the belly are starting to take their toll, along with obesity, childbirth and an open hysterectomy...geeze.  Maybe I don't look so bad after all, my core has been rung through the wringer.

For whatever reason (not because I suddenly love my arms) I've been wearing sleeveless tank top things all summer.  I suddenly just care more about being comfortable than anything else.  I'm no longer fat, I used to be, and it shows.....the operative concept here being "no longer".  If they figure out how to do plastics with no scars, I'd give it a try-but till then, I'm good just the way I am.

you are great the way you are!  I'm not so much worried about my tummy because I'm so modest, I wouldn't be showing it any way.  But living in oklahoma, I do like short sleeves and tanks.

The tummy area is the hardest area for a woman to lose weight from ..go figure.
So instead of figuring it out just know that it is shrinking just slowly.
Talk about flipping in th wind...I dont like to wave any more cause when the hand is done the arm hasnt stopped...
and as for thighs LMAO.....the skin doesnt stop after I do its like vibrating
being healthy has its rewards....take the challenge and just do it

i've always had big legs and thighs and I so know what you're talking about the vibrating!  I feel like a skeleton with a bunch of extra flab.  I've got to start building muscle!

Dr.Walton told me a few weeks ago that hips and thighs are the hardest to lose.
