Oh my goodness!! I thought I was the only one. All my weight is in my stomach, also my hips. And I too have an upper and lower stomach. My lower one hangs down grotesquely. I HATE it!!

Mine goes straight to the butt and thighs first. When I lose, it's the last place to go. I lose from my arms, face, and most sadly- my boobs- first, then when I've got nothing left but little walnuts under my bra, the weight comes off the bottom half. HarumpH!!

Hmn, I know when I was at a healthy weight and I'd gain just a little, it went to my butt. Now that I'm about 40 lbs heavier, there was a little everywhere but mostly my stomach. Now that I've been losing slowly, it's most come from my butt, legs, face and arms. I really want a flat stomach and my waist back so I'm pretty determined to keep losing...everywhere!

My arms. I mean, obviously it's not *all* in my arms, but they're by far the most stubborn place. My hips like to be stubborn, too. And my chest. 'Cause there's always been quite a lot there. It leaves there first, though.

I have no freaking idea what my body shape is, but I'm darn sure it's not a pear.

sounds like we are twins from another mother! I joke about my arms and legs because they look so thin compared to my bellies! Its been about 13 years since I was thin and I was a teenager then so I have no clue what I will look like when I lose more.

My most stubborn areas seem to be my legs and especially thighs.

My worst fear, considering that the extra stomach weight that I have is already hanging down really low, is that when I lose the weight there will be nothing but loose skin there. It makes me afraid to lose weight.

Goes to my stomach and hips, creating the dreaded spare tire! I hate it do much, i am going to have to do some serious toning after I lose the extra fat.

First of all, you can't target fat loss, only muscle gained. So, you can do specific exercises to help build muscle in your abs, but that doesn't necessarily mean you'll lose fat from those areas.

My extra weight is in my upper arms (triceps), lower stomach, and upper thighs. The rest of my thighs are fine (could use improvement but I'm happy for now), but the very tip top of them are still jiggly. Drives me nuts!

well, I have to say my stomach, then back then legs and arse...then my face. The first to slim is my face! Then my back, I look quite odd with very muscular legs, fairly thin arms, almost a sculpted butt, and a gross tummy and back fat. One thing, unlike my sister, I have hips...which I am thankful for, because I have very broad shoulders and a good sized chest.

I wouldn't worry I don't think it would be worse off and since its somewhat slow losing weight I think we will be fine.... this is what I tell myself anyhow lol

All over.

My butt, hips and thighs take a lot of the brunt. My stomach is the last to gain, but even it has succumbed. I can definitely see it shrinking, but that's probably because, you know, I can see it. It's right there. I know I'm losing in other places too.

Anyone else gain it in their upper hips/love handles? My rib cage and above is slim, my hips are slim, but I have this bump in my figure where the love handles are...
