Stomach, lower ab, “the pooch”
It is not muscle, it is fat.
Excercising, with the weight machines resistance/weight training – as well as cardio
Eating right
The pounds are melting off, I went from a size 14 to a size 10 and looking good, shapely, sexy, I might add (wink)
My only question revolves around this “pooch”. They say it’s the last to go when you’re loosing weight. I want to understand why. It’s the last to go, and the first to “pack on the pounds”. Why, when you’re loosing weight all over, are you not loosing from your stomach. Why is the stomach the “last to go”. There is muscle (toned and strong) under that “pooch or roll of fat that stick out” (yuck!). It’s just when the fat finally does fall/burn off of it, that’s when the muscle tone will show.
There’s got to be something to “ B L A S T ” that stomach off quicker!!! Isn’t there?!!!
Please offer this knowledge!!!! No matter how hard we work, there always seems to be “the pooch” that never goes away, and it is so unattractive.
Dawn.

We all have a tendency to store fat in some areas than others, and typically lower abdomen is common. Your body is programmed from early times(being chased by predators, constant running, etc.) to preserve life, not look good at the beach. This means holding onto remaining fat stores in anticipation of starvation, etc. Your body will fight back at some point to hold onto these fat stores, so you have to fight back also. This means perseverance, and in many cases upping your supplementation to hold muscle in preference to fat.
