Oh yes...the thighs! DRIVING ME MAD! I hate it! I was just wondering if what exercises I should do to firm this junk up! No...I don't want to be fat....but neither do I want to be the "bag lady" either!!! Sheesh! It is good to know others are facing the same challenge and I'm not the only one with a "weird" body on the planet! :lol:

I'm gettin' squishy and proud of it ;)

I've noticed too. I don't look and/or feel pregnant anymore lol

Did you know that there's actually a physical reason for your fat getting all squishy? And it's a GOOD thing? :D

When your body starts burning stored fat, it goes for the intramuscular fat first -- the fat marbled inside your muscles (like the fat on a steak :p ) That intramuscular fat kept the fat surrounding the muscle firmly in place, nice and tight and hard.

Once you lose the fat in the muscle, the surrounding fat is loose and flopping around because its anchor (the fat marbled throughout the muscle) is gone. Everything starts to wiggle and wobble like Jello!

Tell yourself that fat getting squishy is a very good thing! The next step is for that squishy fat to disappear. So remember, if your fat is getting squishy, it's on the road out of town. :carrot:

Thank you, Meg! That is awesome news!

I HATE SQUISH!!!! Looks like I might have to go to the plastic surgeon and see what's up. I have enough excess skin to make another person!!! DANG.
I think I'll wait until I reach my goal tho-give it a couple of months more and then see. UGH

For anyone in Ontario... If you lose over 100 lbs then you can potentially have certain surgeries paid for but OHIP.

Hi,
I wanted to post this, because I have noticed that I am squishy around my thigh area, and my upper arm area, but everything else is getting hard I can touch and see ( some ) bones . When I lie down my rib cage is visible, and I can feel my pelvic bones, where before the whole area was surrounded by fat, now it is melting away ( I think it is melting to my thighs right now). I am liking it!!

SHuuuWeeeeeee, after losing 125 lbs., my tummy and booty cheeks and underarms are definitely squishy. Not as bad as some but definely issues there, however on the bright side, I feel SOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo much better health wise it is worth the squish.

Hugs

Hehe! Hopefully we can both de-sqishyfy at the end of this!

*Yeah I know... not a real word but I am having fun with it.

Seriously now... Anyone else perpetually rubbing various parts of their body when it re-shapes to how they want it? :o;) I must look really strange walking around rubbing that area where my butt hits my thighs but... They were not this defined when I was thin!

Meg that is sooo good to know!! (my DH kinda told me that, but I didn't believe him!)
