I was actually wondering the same exact thing, I have noticed that my boobs are GONE, my butt has disappeared and my legs are shrinking but my mid section is still super large. My jeans are sagging bad but the waist still fits. Anyone know what I can do to help this out?

 we all lose weight from the head down and the feet up...so the middle section is always the last to go...the gut is a big storage area for fat and will go last...as you get to your goal...the last 10 pounds or so are back fat...stomach....our faces...boobs...legs will all go first....but your mid section will catch up as you get to goal...and then poof you're proportional again...it will happen just work it babe...SEAVIEW

I was just talking with Maria (Italian Spice) about this earlier tonight!!  I feel your pain, for sure.  Boobs-gone, butt-gone, tummy - hanging on for dear life  I look like the planet Saturn!!  I sure hope you guys are right about it going at the end.  I would be down at least a size or 2 if it werent for the tummy.  Its frustrating, but hopefully we will ALL even out after we get to goa!  Good Luck everyone!!       Joan

Yup, I swore I was going to look like I had the rings of Saturn around my middle, because everything else would be tiny and my waist would be huge.

Eventually it DID go down - and so will yours!

I was frustrated with this early out, but I think it was swelling in the belly.  Now, I still have tummy fat, but a lot less of it.  

Are you taking measurements?  Please do!  They help keep it in perspective.  ;)

My stomach is impressively "flat" already but I can't seem to lose my huge thighs/"saddlebags"!!
I have a size 6 waist and a size 10 "bottom"/thigh/hips....very frustrating!!!

Yep, I can relate, I got to my goal of 155 lbs.  I felt fantastic, and would have stopped, but my tummy and thighs still had too much fat for my liking...

So I went to 150 lbs... same thing...

SO I went to 145 lbs... same thing, and I started to get too thin above my breasts... could see my bones sticking out, like ribs...

So I was all set to go to 140 lbs and realized, wait a minute, no matter how much I lose I can't lose all I want in those two areas, it is just not going to happen...

So I decided on getting those two areas lypo'd... then decided against that as well.  With a BMI under 20, I need to accept I am thin enough... and this is the body shape I was given...  Same shape as when I was heavier, only thinner and shaplier now...
