I have awesome muscle tone, powerful legs, tight obliques, just solid. Under this layer of fat. Sometimes I just want to cut it all off.

I am just venting here, it's just so very frustrating right now, being in between.

Hey lilac,
I feel a bit of the same. I can start to see the butterfly under the "caterpillar-fat" and everyone keeps commenting how great I look. All I can think is "you gotta see me in 20 pounds!"
I feel much lighter and I also have great abs under the fat, and my legs look so nice... if you ignore the fatty chunk on the top... I can't wait to be down to my goal weight and see the real me... I haven't seen her in years... well I may not ever have seen her.
I am the least patient woman ever and knowing that I won't be where I want to be until... who knows probably october (which is when I move to an african country, actual destination still unknown, and may not have a scale ever again...) kills me!!
But just use it as your motivator... that is what I do. Today sit up nr. 100 in a row felt hard but the picture of me in my hot bod really made it easier!

I TOTALLY understand - I swear if I had a knife and I wouldn't bleed to death doing it, I would just cut off my stomach and be done with the dang thing...it just doesn't reflect who I am or who I want to look anymore...

In between is frustrating...I am right there with you

Yes, my stomach kills me, I swear without it I would be 2 sizes smaller. In fact I would be happy with every single thing if I didn't have it. I am considering a tummy tuck. Even when I lost 92 pounds I still had some belly, and I had another baby since then so I know it's skin too. agghhhhhh

I just consulted with a surgeon on one - I have lost 73 lbs so far and he said I should lose all I can prior to getting it...well my goal is 150 so that is another 40 pounds or so to go ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

It is exciting though - I look at myself and I can see underneath what I might look like - I just want to get there. It is easily two sizes for me as well.

my penis is huge under my pooch. lol. my ass aint bad either.

They say you gain an inch of penis for every 35 pounds you lose. It has to do with the fat on the pelvic mound. Hell, I would say that is insensitive right? LMAO

*hugs* I know how you feel.. I just wish I could rip the fat off and throw it against the wall sometimes.

AMEN!!! We could have a fat throwing party...I am hating it more and more w/each passing day...I just want this to be over (I guess I shouldn't have gotten fat in the first place, but let's not throw the blame around, you know what I mean?)

I have fat around my belly and i feel if I lose more weight there my skin will sag. Its not alot of fat but my skin was stretched 10 yrs ago from having a kid. I really want a tummy tuck, i think it will bring out those muscles and get rid of some stretch marks. Its just very expensive.

I have absolutely no idea what I'll look like thin. I've been overweight since I was about 8 years old. The main thing I'm curious about is how much my face will change.

The last time I was at my current goal weight was when I was in 7th grade, and I looked like this:

I was only an inch and a half shorter than I am now, so I have a pretty decent idea of what my body would look like.. but my face will have matured a bit, so I'm really not sure about that.
It's exciting to think about!
