Uneven weight loss

[7Miriam]

I've lost about 65 pounds now, with over 100 still left to go. I used to be firm, although I was big I didn't have lots of jiggles or the appearance of cellutlite. Now, I am not very firm, and very my flab is more jiggly. Also, my weight loss is very uneven, I have all these lumps of fat sticking out in my thighs and butt. Plus, as I've been shrinking I'm starting to get these zipper-like stretch marks. They look horrible!! I guess they weren't noticeable before because the skin was stretched out and now the fat underneath that was stretching it is going away. YUCK!!!

I was wondering if anyone else has experience this and if it even out over time?

Stretch marks fade with time to a more silvery color and less noticeable, but never actually go away. As you keep burning fat doing Atkins, the left behind bumps will get burned up too. You have made amazing progress, I am sure you will one day not jiggle a bit!

Are you exercising any? Maybe you can add weight training to your workout if you are. This really helps tone up and reshape your body and I think its really necessary when losing the amount of weight we are losing. Good luck!

Exercise, but include weight lifting. It doesn't have to be more than a couple pounds.

i find yoga and pilates is great for toning

as for the strech marks..ive had these all my life! they DO fade over time..and you can buy a product called bio-oil to help cover them up...they never really go away tho... one of my friend's ex's thought they were cool cuz they made her look hardy or like shes been in battle or something!
