Sorry if this is a dumb question and hopefully you understand what I'm asking, but I'll try. I've been watching you tube videos of people's weight loss before and after well almost every video they have stretchy loose skin in their stomach but i dont, my stomach still has fat so I'm wondering if it's because I'm only 2 months out and it happens over time or is it because that's where I carried alot of weight? I'm almost at my goal which is 25 more pounds and it seems as if my stomach isnt going away as fast as everywhere else. Hopefully you understand what I'm asking I'm not a good explainer! Lol

Thanks in advance!

Wait until you're two years out and then you'll know the answer for how your body has responded. Everyone is different but you have to give it time to work itself out.

I think my waist fat was about the last to go and it's the first place I notice it if I eat to many carbs.

Does your goal weight put you at the bottom on a normal BMI or is just a number that you remember feeling good at?

I lost everywhere but i carried a lot of weight in my tummy. I hsve always been shaped pretty square with next to no waist. Loose skin seems to be less when you are younger  i was 62 when i had wls  previously when I lost weight i had not had loose skin but do this time. Age and genetics play a part. 

I agree with Roz. Dont set your goal too high. Regain is real and it happens to everyone
