Default Getting MORE rolls the more I lose weight?

WTF. I have a very yucky fold over on my upper right torso that I've NEVER had before. I know I'm losing weight. so..why do I have more rolls?

It could be skin that has yet to shrink to match your fat loss. I sometimes noticed that I would lose the fat, but the skin would be less than ideal for a while but eventually catch up to my fat loss.

Give it time! Your skin might just take a little longer than the rest of you

Yea I think it's excess skin, you will probably need to do toning exercises at some point but your body will adjust congratulations on the weight loss!

It's very common for an area to look worse before it looks better when losing weight.

You're young - your skin will rebound. Keep doing what you're doing and you'll be very happy you did.

I agree, I have noticed a lot of the deflate/springback phenomenon in losing, where an area that was previously puffy deflates and gets rolly or sags a bit and then firms up and looks much better a month or three later. Strength training speeds that along, big time.

Thank you all! In addition to my "mini rolls," I have to address this evil Dunlap. I have a pretty long torso, and my tummy hangs. I usually hoist my jeans over it so it doesn't have to show. How long should I expect to deal with this? Or how long did it take for those of you with one to work it off? ]':

It'll go. It's just body fat, no special rules. Keep on trucking!!!

instead of ONE big roll...your body is probably breaking down the fat--thus creating several "mini rolls"--same thing happened to me!!!!!!!!!!!--its a process--and some of the steps in the process are NOT pretty! best of luck! don't worry!

I think I've got a weird mindset. the whole dunlap thing. I keep imagining that one day I'm gonna wake up and it will be gone. Same with the rolls. But I know that's not the case. So i don't know why i keep thinking like that. T:
