When you lose weight, you don’t lose it in specifically one part of your body. That’s why beware all of these adds that talk about losing the tummy fat or the bulging hips. Your body doesn’t work that way. There’s no body part target specific way to lose weight. You lose weight all over your body.

The first place anyone will notice is in the facial area. The reason is simple. If you are overweight you will have a fuller face because of fat deposits. But there’s not much to lose on your face because there are not a lot of fat deposits there. Hence when you lose 5 - 10 pounds across your whole body, you will lose a lot more proportionally on your face because there just isn’t that much to lose. Ironically, the place people want to get rid of the most (the belly fat) is usually the last large fat deposit that ends up going away. This is the area of your body that has the most fat cells. Due to one of fats functions, being the protection of vital organs which are mostly in this area.

When you see someone with a six pack stomach, it does not necessarily mean that they are in great shape. Though truth is they probably are. What having six pack abs really means is that person has very low percentage body weight fat. For men, they most likely have 10% body fat or less. For women, they most likely have 17% body fat or less.

Well, whatever she’s done she looks great. Wish I had that thick wonderful brunette colored hair . . .

Good luck to her, but I hope she begins to eschew the media spotlight and just try to live a more private life. She should also really try to finish her education, as should all young people this age.
