I lost weight but why isn't it noticeable?

[Anonymous]

I'm a 19 year old girl and am 5'5". I started working out on October 25 and my starting weight was 206 lbs. I drastically cut my calorie intake, and went jogging everyday, sometimes even twice a day. As of December 16 I now weigh 184. That's 22 lbs and I know I should be proud but why am I still the same jeans size? My stomach has definitely gotten flatter but my hips obviously haven't slimmed down since I'm still the same size. I wear a slimmer around my waist and stomach when I go jogging everyday, isn't this supposed to be helping me? And why won't my damn love handles go away?

Wow, that's great! Recommend adding weight/resistance training to compliment your cardio. Bodyweight exercise such as push ups, burpees, sit ups, etc. would help tremendously in "upping" your metabolism. You lose fat throughout your body... don't worry... just keep doing what you do and you'll start seeing results.

You lost weight in your middle. Just not in your lower body. Eventually you will. But your body decides where you lose and gain weight.

I lost ~56kg (125lb). I bought new clothes every ~15kg lost, my stomach got way flatter but my butt still looks like a fat guy butt, not those nice round cheeks like it's supposed to be. I went from morbidly obese to normal BMI and still had fat guy butt. Maybe some areas are just really stubborn. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Asker]

Wow! Congrats on the weight loss! That's amazing!

I have no idea how to answer you I just wanted to say congrats! Keep it up!

[Asker]

Thank you!

Muscle volume weighs eight times (8x) as much as bodyfat.

So if u gather a bag of bodyfat and it weighed 3lbs... the same size bag full of muscle will weigh 24lbs.

That could explain it.

Just give it time. IT took you a long time to get to 206. You'll be ok. Keep at it, and cograts

Uh, you got a long way to go, girl. 184 at 5'5 is still morbidly obese. You still have about 65 pounds of pure fat to be rid of.

Actually, I was told by my doctor that my healthy weight is at 144 lbs. So i only have 40 more to go.

She is actually only overweight not morbidly obese and she actually only needs to lose approximately 35-45 lbs before she is at a healthy weight for her height. I'm a personal trainer so yea stop pulling numbers out of your asshole also they have bmi
