Morning inloko
As you can see from my 'before' pic, a large proportion of my weight had accumulated on my stomach. This is as a consequence of being insulin resistant, which then led to type 2 diabetes.
The weight I'm losing is coming off everywhere pretty uniformly but this means that my stomach is STILL disproportionately bigger than everywhere else so now I just look 6 months pregnant with 1 instead of 9 months pregnant with twins!
It's quite a frustration because at either end (shoulders, boobs, hips & thighs) I could fit into a size 14 but my tummy keeps me several sizes bigger (18/20) just to accomodate it. Consequently, my clothes are baggy around my extremities in order to fit around the middle. Grrrr!!
I wish I could just order the ketones to concentrate on my belly for a few weeks to even me up a bit!
As for loose skin .... I'm afraid that's going to be a major problem with me. Already, my tummy has taken on the appearance of a prize winning Sharpei and as it was the only thing offering my boobs support, they too are travelling south as it shrinks. So my whole middle section now looks like a big melted candle!!
Hey ho - such is life!
However, to keep things in perspective, it's MUCH easier concealing loose skin and saggy bits under clothes than 12st of excess fat. In the end though, if finances allow, I think I'm going to end up having a tummy tuck and boob lift.
Glad you liked the pics ... looking forward to seeing your 'works in progress' photos!
