Okay I wasn't sure where to post this but I have a question....
As the weight comes off - I have noticed that I have a rather large puffy pubic area right above the vajajay - you know, the area where the camel toe appears. Does this go away?? it isn't a muscle so there really isn't exercises to tone it. I am rather dismayed by this

You can't spot reduce, so this is no different than any other area of your body. It should reduce gradually, just like other areas of fat deposits.

Let's not call it a pouch, darling. That term makes me feel like a marsupial. It's the good old Mons Veneris, which I don't like on myself when I'm wearing those clingy bicycle shorts, still, I put the shorts on for the sake of their great padding on the butt. Yeah, your mons veneris does get smaller, but that's one place where the fat lingers, as it has an, uh, protective function. Like a crash helmet. :-)

My manager at work was telling me about how she saw a woman on tv who despite losing all the weight, couldn't lose it from there. She ended up having it lipo suctioned.

But I'm not really sure how often you would lose weight everywhere but that one specific area, so you will most likely lose it as you lose yourself.

I was worried about this area as I started on my journey (2 C-sections and yo-yo weight over the years up to 230 lbs at one point). But I am happy to say it seems to be evening out in proportion to everything else.

Apparently, alongside being big I'm cursed as "Fat toosies" run in my family. :/ I wish I too could take the advice listed here, but I'd like to not have a Gunt of all things, you know? (If you don't know what a gunt is...just give it a minute.)

I have the biggest fear it wont go anywhere, or worse if I ever could afford correctly surgery they would mess it up and give me a deer hoof.

I am curious about this too. The last time I lose significant weight, I was young and my body and skin tightened up just fine. Now, age is working against that possibility. I am curious how my body will fare after another 80 pounds. Sigh.

I am also concerned about this. I worry it will hang and be droopy.

This discussion makes me giggle. I guess I'm immature like that .

It'll even out with everything else.

I don't think they can really droop much. I mean...well, there's not too many places for anything to droop, are there?

There are a lot of body parts I might worry about, but that definitely isn't one of them. Anyone who gets a good look at it (e.g., doctor or husband) already knows it's adorably pudgy, and anyone else who somehow gets a sighting (not to make it sound like Bigfoot or something) should jolly well learn that my eyes are up here.

I am totally fine with it and simply avoid any leggings so tight that they may make me look like I'm smuggling a bagel.

Thank you so much for the giggle. I really needed it this morning. Your post just cracked me up!

The bagel thing made me LoL

But this is a concern of mine, too, so I feel your anxiety about it.

As noted, you cant spot reduce...but that area did continue to reduce for me even with the last few lbs.

Also, i feel like the extensive toning work I do has helped. While that area isnt a muscle, it is surrounded (inner thighs, pelvis, tummy, etc) by many many muscle groups that seemed to help the skin tighten up some.

lol@ crash helmet!

For what it's worth, this thread would turn my silly husband on. He's no help at all for weight loss motivation.
