Anyone wish they knew where it went?

That weight loss. It would be nice to know where it had disappeared from. Obviously your clothes get looser so you know it has gone but it is very mysterious in the way it leaves our bodies.

LOL I was just thinking about the same thing when I put my wrist watch on. It has become quite loose. I was also wondering if tattoos shrink as we lose weight :)

I agree it's weird. I think the answer is it goes in lots of tiny bits from lots of different places. We build up fat everywhere, a certain amount is under our skin, a lot ends up around the stomach area, some is around organs even. But some of our body change is not fat-related but due to muscles changing shape, toning up etc. Personally I don't understand how my feet have shrunk so much, they never seemed 'fat' before! So I do wonder what exactly I've 'lost' there!

It is a bit grim to think of our organs getting fat round them.

But amused that your little piggies have been working out and toned up too.

I agree it is all rather random. I wish some of the fatter bits would shrink and not so much of the less fat bits. Some areas of my back are fat free and yet my belly just won't shrink :( Will try to work on it a bit in the new year.

I also wonder where it all goes. On the radio they said you breath out the fat during the night - did I hear that right?! I'm convinced I wee it out (tmi) lol.

Where you lose it from is probably down to genetics, although cutting out foods like bread can sometimes shift the tummy fat.

Sueper is right, we exhale most the 'broken down' fat. Here's the science for any other nerds out there.

Maybe there are little fat fairies who steal it when we sleep , who on occasions struggle to carry it so leave some behind or cant carry their load so leave some with others and come back later for it !!!

Some have very busy little fairies who do a fab job and others have lazy ones who dont meet their quota`s !!! :-) :-) :-)

Sorry I think I have visited too many santa`s grottos lately its sent me a little crazy !!!

They only come out in the middle of the night that`s why when we stay up too late it messes with our weight loss!!! :-)
