Where do you carry your fat?
I carry mine in my butt, upper thighs and, weirdly, my upper arms. My stomach is flat (genetics!) and my chest is bony, but I have little pockets of armpit fat. It drives me nuts because if I lose too much weight, I look way too skinny except for those areas. I can't seem to tone my booty no matter how much I run or how many squats and lunges I do. And the armpit fat never ever goes away. When I lost 20 pounds in my early 30's, my C cup boobies deflated to B's, yet the armpit fat hung in for dear life!
I guess I'm just griping, but any suggestions for toning booty or losing armpit fat out there?

I don't mind HAVING the booty! It's just so...flabby! I've been trying for YEARS to tone it up to no avail. Running, squats, lunges, pilates...still flabby! I can feel those glutes...with a helping of fat on top! Grrrr!

Legs (inner thighs, knees) and lower stomach. My chest/arms/back etc. look too bony when my legs get slim though because I dont gain weight in those areas

For bootie, do lots of fasted paced lower body circuits, RUN HILLS ( that is only reason at 51 I have a nice bum) and/or try the brazilian butt lift DVD''s
For triceps, lots of tricep dips (with weights on lap if you can) and trcep kick backs and tricep pushdowns. Also try step cardio and do all the arm movements and eventually with wrist weights, works for me !!! !
I have a work out I am doing post op to kick it back up. I will post it in Exercise.

Damn genetics LOL my stomache and I hate it! I go to the gym ALOT I swear I could weigh 90lbs and still have love handles and pudge on the tummy! My short torso has doomed me to a life of muffin tops. Not to mention since the BA im still bloated. I feel like my clothes look horrible.

The post op bloat will pass. I looked 4 months pregnant for 2 or 3 weeks! That's actually when I found JBI, looking up post op bloating on google. I was terrified at first that I had somehow gained 10lbs overnight!

The first place it goes on and first place it comes off is my stomach. I carry fat in my hips, thighs and triceps and this is where the fat comes off last. It wasn't until I lost an extra 8.8 pounds which doesn't sound like a lot of weight that I noticed a huge improvement in those problem areas

Pretty much only my belly. Due to stress and other things I became wayyy under weight (were talking 97 pounds and I am 5'5, I could literally wrap my hands around my thighs and touch my thumbs together) and I could STILL pinch my belly. I can get it flat, but I will always be able to pinch that last little bit of fat.
My SO gains it in his chin (haha), even with a killer 6 pack if he lays off his cardio he starts to get a bit of a double chin.

My butt, including upper and lower butt, and in my breasts a bit. And then a little bit everywhere else.
I'm trying to gain 10 lbs right now and I know where it will go because I'm 10 under my normal weight due to extreme stress.
