Wendy, My abdomen looks like a pregnant lady, even though I spend half the time on a liquid diet and crackers. My clothes get baggy in the but, but wont button. The scales goes up and people say I look like I have lost weight in my arms, face, etc.. I dont get it either. My abdomen feels like a rock. Going up the stairs I feel like I need to carry my belly. Maternity clothes seem to fit the best, isn't that something to feel good about!!! I dont get it. God bless you and stay strong!
