Stubborn Knee Fat
 

I have about 15 lbs left to lose, but even when I was at my lowest adult weight (130 lbs at 5'7") I still had that annoying fat on the inside of my knees. Are my only options to lose that fat starving to a skeleton or lipo? Both of those options are unacceptable so I'm trying to decide if I just need to bond with my knees and accept them for the chubby buggers they truly are. But I would sooo love to be able to bend my knees without that lump of fat bulging out. Has anybody been successful at trimming down their knees?

I would say accept your knees - as long as they bend and flex and help you run and jump and squat and kick things, then they are truly wonderful things.

I have fat knees, fat legs, all over but I DO love them, they are the BEST at kicking things and squats and running and doing all the things I ask them to, and they hardly ever complain!

Your problem also reminds me of a ballet dancer I knew - she was THIN THIN and probably about 90lbs soaking wet. She would moan, "I'm so fat... Look I can pinch an inch!" To pinch this inch she had to bend at the waist... Then pinch the skin that folded there when she bent! :rolleyes: Yeah, you're HUGE darlin! This to me, when I weighed over 200lbs. :censored:

I don't know if you weight train, but training with weights will dramatically change your body composition and may help you have a lower percentage of fat, which may get rid of your "fat knees".

Also, something which I keep reminding myself of - stuff like fat does tend to squidge around when we bend - try doing a sit-up without producing a belly roll!!! Imagine if stuff didn't move around, we'd be stiff as boards!
