Are my Legs EVER gunna Shrink

[iyamamaschke]

Ok, so I am totally not diregarding my progress so far I have done great I am up to running up to and over 30 miles per week but, My damn legs I must say Just don't wanna shrink. I have been exercising since I started weights, walking now all out running addict 5 days per week. My longes run to date is 14 miles. WHy the heck won't my legs shrink. I looked back to January and my legs have only gone down 2 freaken inches what the heck is up with that. Is there any hope that they will go down like the rest of me. I do't wanna have the perfect upper body and Be huge on the bottom foreve. My measurments are 37,30.5,46 HOOLY crap how dispraportional. I guess it's a far cray from when I started but, I still ahve a long ways to go. I thik what's most frusturating is I know there is a beautiful strong muscular leg under all the legs fat. ARGGGGG!!

The place where we put on fat FIRST is the place we take it off LAST.

Our bodies were bred and adapted for survival, for both ourselves and for pregnancies, especially during times of famine.

As well, bulgy muscle pooches the fat pockets out, but this is only temporary.

It will come off!

I'm with Cleo on this one, Sarah. Frustrating as it is, the last place the weight comes off on me is in my upper thighs/pooch. I can look really small on top and be all thick on the bottom. Just keep up the exercise and the great eating and it'll go. It really will!!

I know it's frustrating. I don't have disproportionality. I have saggy skin on my legs (and stomach). Mine looks bad (aka horrible, gross, eye gouging to stop the pain bad) when gravity starts taking over like during pushups, so I can sort of relate. The only thing that gives me solace is that I am doing something to right the wrong eventually, and that just like I said running is a mental game, the same thing could be said about patience and accepting things take to time to right the wrong or damage. It will get better for both of us. The process will just take time, work, and some patience. In the meantime, you certainly have one guy who knows your frustration.

Re: Are my Legs EVER gunna Shrink

Sarah-- I sure wish there was a way to spot-melt fat, but because it melts all over the body at the same pace, you'll find that you'll be shrinking immensely everywhere, and the last bits to go seem all the more annoying and anarchistic.

Still, you're making a LOT of progress, and leg muscles weigh a lot! They also burn a lot of energy while you're at rest. So your curse, in a way, is also your blessing.

O the irony!

Hi Sarah,

I'm sorry your disappointed with your proportions so far, and I'm amazed that there's only a 2" difference! Because it looks like you've lost a lot in your hip and thigh area! You look so much firmer and smoother!

You are doing and looking great, keep do what you're doing!

I am making amazing progress on my upper body It's amazing LOL.

Ditto. My bad for failing to mention that as well. It is really evident the hard work you are doing. I would reiterate what Sheshy said as well it is hard to believe that is only 2" too.

Re: Are my Legs EVER gunna Shrink

I know It was somewhat of a piss off. My legs individually were 30 inches in January and now they are 28 so 2 inches per leg. GEEEZE LOL.

I am doing very well just frusturated cause everything is shrinking down so great but my legs just aren't LOL Not where I want any how I still ahve this Bulge right on the thighs it's very discouraging but, I keep on going and in time it will go down I know that. It seems so saggy and floppy now not hard at all like it was. It's funny when I sit with my legs off the chair it's like I have the most beautiful legs then I feel all the stuff hanging off the bottom YUCK.

Re: Are my Legs EVER gunna Shrink

(((Sarah))) YES...they will shrink...I tend to be bottom heavy and was always horrified at how my legs looked. I wouldn't even wear shorts in 100 degree weather! Now I love wearing shorts. My legs aren't perfect but at least they have definition. You're giving it 150% you will get there! I never believed my legs would ever look "normal" again and if I did it you will too. You're giving it more than I ever did, your hard work will pay off. Heck...look how much it's paid off already. Go look at your pics from April...I'll wait...now see how far you've come? You're getting there girly!!!!

It may only be 2 inches but I notice your legs shrinking. Again, like Cleo said, they will be the last to go. Just like my tum was. Keep on truckin!
