That damn pesky back flab...

I have been taking progress photos for my own personal viewing since sept 08. Last night I had the SO take some for the month of july (i take them monthly) and the ones of the flab on my back look so much worse then they did in janurary. I mean I have lost a significant amount of weight yet the flab gets bigger and now it looks like its just hanging there. It disgusted me to the point my stomach turned and all the advice Ive gotten about loosing more weight it will get smaller, well it hasnt and I am frustrated. It is the one part of my body that I really wanted to change because my pants fit funny, my back is shaped strangly due to the flab. Most people want a flat tummy but I just want to have a normal flat upper and lower back... *sigh* I guess maybe I need to work out more, but really since Spot training doesnt work how am I supposed to get rid of it, If I even can??

  1. I do 45 minutes on the stationary bike five times a week and I'm here to tell you that it will take the inches off. You gotta work it tho...

  2. Spot training doesn't work. Step up the caloric expenditure (work outs) and the fat will disappear. Think of it this way, as long as you keep losing weight, it has to come off at some point. It can be frustrating waiting for specific areas to come around, but keep up the good work and you'll get there.

  4. My stomach has this issue ... but ... it's getting better! I've been consistent with the workouts and it's slowly (oh so slowly) coming off in other places too. Finally! I'm sure it will for you too. It just takes time ... unfortunately!

  5. Back fat is very annoying. It might be extra water weight partly.
