Bottom Heavy

Can anyone tell me why the majority of  my weight loss seem to be in  the top half of my body.  I still have tree trunks for legs?

Big F: What a trip... we men tend to carry it around our belly... women in the hips ( pear shaped) as you lose more weight it will drop from everywhere.. trust me... I can actually see my ribs for the first time in my life.. Keep up the great job Kev-

Hey Kev, I know what you mean,  my upper half I actually look slim but the bottom looks like it belongs to someone else.  Don't get me wrong I'm happy with the weight loss but i just want the bottom to catch up with the top half.  Mabe I need to try some new  exercise. Any suggestions?

No Clue… Any lymphedema in the past for you? Lower extremities can ‘hang on’ to fluid retention Just due to gravity alone. Then again, everyone is built a little different. Volvos and Chevy’s……. Good to see you dropping in!!! Best Wishes- Dx

I'm on the other side of the spectrum.  I lost all my weight in my legs and butt...first...i think out of the 1st 100 lbs I lost ...all of it came from my butt....lol.   It's hard too..because I still carry most of my weight around my stomach.   Oh well..thats what plastics are for.... Scott

Big F., I am just like you in that most of my weight seems to be coming from my upper body.  I did lose weight from my lower body, but not in the same proportion.  I hope the bottom catches up with the top eventually.

i ma kinda having the same issues. i have lost about 240 pounds, most of it in my upper body. i can see my collar bone and ribs now. but my lower half, especially my thighs are still bigger than i think they should be. i'm a weeble-wobble. i have also wondered what exercise would help out my legs.
