Daily Maintenance Weigh In - Tuesday 11/27
165.2 today. So I have a couple of questions. I know that some of you have mentioned some restriction garments on here before that you got from a website to help hold things in. I have this muffin top which seems to have been developing even while my weight was going down. How does that happen?
Also, it has been mentioned that the weight redistributes during the first year. Is it an individual thing? Will my muffin top redistribute itself to somewhere else?
Help????
It's likely that your muffin top is loose skin. I have a pretty low body fat percentage, but a lot of what remains is stuck in a layer inside the loose skin. The jeans I'm wearing now are quite loose - they're a size too big - and I have a couple of inches space in the waistband, but when I sit down, some stomach skin still kind of laps over the top. Strangely, because my hips/butt have always been bigger than my waist I never had this problem until the skin got floppy.
I've started to see a little redistribution in the last few months. I'm 18 months out.

184.2 today. My doctor's not sure why my back is hurting...doesn't think it's kidney stones or gallbladder...thank goodness although it felt that bad!!! She did change my PPI. It comes and goes...just really annoying!!! Anybody else have left lower back pain that radiates the side due to GERD?
Have a Great day everyone!
