What's the part you will be happiest to see gone?

Obviously we will all be happy to see the weight scale give us good numbers, but what is the part of you that will make you happiest to see gone or in better shape? Or what what was the part if you have already completed your journey? Thighs, arms, butt?

For me it will be my stomach. After my second kid I've had (omg this is hard to actually say) a fold... My stomach actually folds over now. This has become the part of me that I most conscious & horrified about. After that would be my back, but my stomach will be one of things I will be happiest to see gone!

We have a family friend who was always a big gal until her husband passed at 78. After his passing she decided to lose the weight. She yelled at her doctor the next time she saw him, because he congratulated her on losing weight. She said, "Oh sure my waist is smaller, but I've gone from a D to a B flat."

I want to lose it all: Chin, upper arms, thighs, butt, calves, upper back! I want to be tight & toned. BUT, if I could name only ONE, I choose the belly. Especially now that I'm menopausal, it's the last place I see any fat loss. Even when I got down to 138 and was exercising 2 hours a day and putting on muscle definition everywhere else, I had an "abdominal fat apron". UGH!  

BTW...is it some sort of scientific joke that the first place I LOSE weight is my breasts?? I mean if I gotta carry fat around, let it be there!!!!

I'm really not sure. I thought it was my tummy while I was heavy but as I lost weight things I never dreamed would be a problem became a problem. My tummy is still not what I would like it to be but it's easier to hide than other things. My butt fell from grace and seems to have landed on the backs of my knees and I don't like sleeveless because of my arm jigglies. I'm trying to take it in stride and I'll take jigglies any day over being obese and unhealthy. I finally found a pair of jeans that really compliment my butt and I can leave it at cap sleeves for the summer.

After the stomach I would say back and arms.

My youngest is now 9 years old, I can't say "I just had a baby" anymore... yeah, that excuse is growing up fast!
