Hello everyone it's my first post here. To give you a quick run down, i'm 5'8, medium boned, and weigh 230lbs now...i'm 25 btw.

Now in the past i've been 270lbs and shot down to 200lbs QUICK, like in 5 months very strict low cal/low fat diet with pretty much no exercise except walking (like 3 times a week). At 200lbs i could only jog for 6 minutes then i would be dead out of breathe. Along with that, i did have flab (or fat) still on my body but i did look good-when i was naked though, you could tell i had fat on my thighs, belly, and still had love handles.

So far i've read that the only way to get rid of flab and fat from hot spots (belly/love handles/butt) is to just LOSE MORE WEIGHT. Mainly do cardio, jogging, and still diet to lose weight. Now my main question to you guys, is that if i did go down to 170lbs (which is what i'm supposed to be) would i have gotten rid of the fat on my belly/sides/butt etc..?

My doctor said it exactly like this..."you did lose alot of weight, going down to 200 from 270...but you STILL had more weight to go, and should be 170".. He said if i went down to 170 the fat all over would be gone, even with no exercise...just continue to jog and it will melt off any flab.

PS, currently i'm dieting and losing weight..like 2lbs a week, and i want to go down to 170. I stayed at 200 last time cause i got too "content" so to speak, yet i was never REALLY happy cause i never hit the goal of 170. Now i aim to do it, and i want to make sure jogging and dieting will be good. I don't wanna weight train yet, i'll do that when i'm skinny to build myself up.
 
who knows if you would lose all the fat...that is something that in time you would find out when you reached 170...more than likely that would be the case..but you couldnt say that with 100% accuracy.
 
Do the weight training now.
The more muscle you have the more fat you burn at rest.
So by not dong the weight training you are slowing down the amount of fat yu can loose.
 
wow, 70lbs in 5months.
thats means you lost 3.5lbs a week, so you must have cut you cal intake by 1750cals per day.
what in the world were you eating before you started to diet!!!

Still it very very impressive. Well done. Will we see you on subway posters. you know that if you have before and after pics, personal trainers or health and fitness buisnesses would pay for your pics.

deff start weight training. Once you got some muscle, you can easily burn off more cals in an hour of weight training than an hours running.
 
Thanks guys, honestly the fast weight loss was from a very strict diet (bearable..not starving myself) coupled with working 60hrs a week at that time...lol the weight came off QUICK.
 
unfortunatly, it only gets harder. The last 5lbs to get to your target weight will be the hardest. Exersice is the key, sounds like you got the diet down to a tee.
