That much is abnormal for the general public but is perfectly normal for me... My question is however since I've started losing weight, what I had thought before was just fat I'm now finding out is my ribcage and my hip bones, I can easily feel them even though I still have quite a bit of fat in those areas, they aren't sticking out yet, but I'm wondering if I do lose a few more pounds will they??? Do joints compress some when you lose the weight or is it just where they're at they stay? Believe me I don't like having a fat belly but I would hate to have any more bones sticking out on my body to me that is more disgusting than being overweight. Has anyone else had this problem or is it just another freaky thing my body's decided to toss me? Starz

I don't see how your bones would move but toning up your ab muscles should help your hip bones & ribs from not being so notiable -------------- Reddy All people smile in the same language
