Question:
Has anyone else lost so much wieght that their spine shows, but still heavy in abdome

I have lost all but 25 pounds of my goal, but can't seem to loose in my abdomen. My collar bone is fully exposed, you can count my vertebrae, I can feel my hips, but still have a large belly and my legs are still heavy. I am down to 145 but haven't lost in a couple of month. I walk, do strength training, and exercise 3 days a week focusing on my abs. Any suggestions?    — Carol M. (posted on March 7, 2001)

I was the same way- I found out I had a hernia! I lost 3 inches off of my belly afterwards! I never knew I had one- I was working my abs like nobodies business. My surgeon diagnosed it at my one year check up after I asked him what I caould do to get rid of the pregnant look I had. Just a thought....
