I am now 5'6 and 215 lbs.....52 lbs gone. I did it by keeping my caloric intake less than my burn. THe only place that I ever really carried any of my weight was in my face ( double chins are gone) On my back ( back rolls are gone) and in my belly. My upper to mid belly has gone from sticking out and round, to fluffy and squishy.. but my lower belly is kinda hard and hangy. Is this because my muscles underneath my lower belly are weak?.....Im sure with time the pounds will come off....I have a picture if anyone will let me send it to them to show them what I mean by the way I look now...and maybe give them a hint as to what im talking about.

I'm not sure what you're asking. Is it about your belly? If so, I would continue with weight loss to see more changes there. At 215 lbs you're still obese, which means you have excess fat on your body. The excess fat will make your belly bigger, especially if it's where you carry a lot of weight. I am the same way with my torso carrying most of my fat. It's not great.

I know for me my belly only started shrinking really around 145 lbs (about 5 lbs into the healthy BMI range for my height). I tend to lose weight slower on my trunk than on my limbs and face.
