Where was the hardest place to loose your weight?
Just curious. I have lost 130 pounds now and have accomplished my clinic's goal for which was 200lbs. My personal goal is to make it to 150lbs. I feel very happy with my loss and the way my body is looking. However, the place that is seeing the least amount of improvement is my stomach (upper and lower), as well as my back. I have lost in these areas and seen improvement for sure, but these are the 2 fatty areas that are hanging on for dear life- and it's not just extra skin.

I've managed to get all the way to a "normal" BMI. When i was closer to a 26BMi or so - I had some fat remaining in my breasts, tummy and thighs.
At the weight I am now - the fat in my breasts and tummy disappeared. The fat in my thighs is still hanging around. When I'm at the low end of my "range" my thighs seem thinner - but when I creep up 5lbs, they seem bigger. Maybe it's just in my mind... ;0)

Well, I see that many of you are on the tummy train too. I'm glad not to be alone.
I guess it is just hard to put it into perspective at this point. I know that I have lost 130 pounds and that is a huge feat. When I say to myself "50 more till goal", I wonder how 50 more pounds will take care of all the fat I still see. I think the case is that even though to an average "overweight person" (thinking of a few of my friends who aren't really big, just a bit plump), loosing 50 pounds is a huge amount and would totally change their bodies, but when I consider my own body, I think "Well, it's gonna take more than 50 pounds". Does that make sense- to have that emotion? Since it has been such a long journey down, 50 more pounds fees like it is just around the corner ( I shouldn't say that or the scale will hear me and add a pound of two by morning!). I get the feeling of "How much more will my body change in 50 pounds??". Rationally, I know 50 pounds will make a huge difference, but emotionally, I feel like it isn't going to be enough. Maybe I am just afraid of the major weightloss phase coming to an end and mantinance becoming a reality. I have heard the veterans talk about feeling a little bit of a let down when getting to maintinance.
Hmmmm....just rambling thoughts, but does anyone else ever feel this way or go through this phase??
