Ok, this question might be "negative" or "in the wrong mindset," but I'm really curious. I'm just a newbie so please don't kill me! Thanks, I appreciate it.

108, welcome to Diettalk.
I'll give you my answer: stomach area. Not only do I have the lower belly fat, but the upper belly as well. I have a very nice waist, but then a bulge above and below the waist line! I just hate it!!!!!
:rose:

Hi 108, this is a good question, and interesting. The thing I hate the most is my stomach, and always has been, even in high school I was one of those suck it in girls :o

It that one part of me that I will never be happy with, no matter how much weight I lost, I know that I would always look in the mirror and think God why can't I make this stomach go away 8-|

As an afterthought, I definitely should've put "butt" as an option.

Personally, my face is my least favorite part. Gaining weight has done some unpleasant things to my formerly pleasant visage.

My theighs are next in line.

What i hate most is my boobs ... they are way to big. I was a "D" before gaining weight ... now I am a "K" ... got to get rid of them ... they are always in the way. WOuld like to get back to the "d" since you did not give this as an option, I put my 2nd choice ... my belly.

I hate my stomach, It has never been flat, and I can't blame it on having children my first pregnancy was 20 yrs ago...lol
Take care
Ellie

For me it's that little upper arm area at my arm pit that bugs me! My arms overall have responded beautifully to weight training and I have great looking biceps and triceps if I say so myself, but that little pocket of fat that hangs there and taunts me when I lift my arms bugs the heck out of me! But I still have body fat to lose so I'm hoping that area will improve as I continue to shed body fat, but if not, I'm stuck with it!8-|

Donna

I have to say it...I do not "hate" any part of my body, my body is with me for the long haul and deserves my respect. That said, I would most like my entire middle(and lower middle) section to respond to my weight loss/fitness efforts.--belly, hips, bulgy outer and inner thigh bits, butt. :D

I am tired of my tummy and looking pregant. My baby is 13 LOL. Anyway. I am working on it.

Thick or thin we should love every part of our body.. We should love ourselves particularly....That is the key to success.. We are loving our bodies enough by losing the weight and making it healthier...So nope.. I can't say I hate any part of my body.. I just hate what I've put it through..LOL

I agree, joanne! Maybe we should have another poll: what part of the body do we like the best? And no saying tongue or liver. ;)

My least favorite has to go to stomach. Even though my abs are awfully strong, they're well-hidden!! :laugh: But, dang, I like 'em anyway. Punches just bounce right off!

I think there is a difference between 'loving' your body and loving the way it looks. I can appreciate my body for the fact that it has carried and given birth to two kids, that all its' parts are functional and it gets me around. I can say, however that I 'hate' how certain parts of it look.
My thighs are #1, without question. Pictures of me that show just the top part of my body make me look nice and thin, not too skinny. However, my thighs are quite yucky. They are quite big, especially given the rest of my body measurements, they have way too much cellulite for someone my age and size, lots of ripply skin, some spider veins and even stretchmarks in some spots. It is not a pretty sight! And yes, I HATE the way they look. It doesn't mean I hate myself or look down on myself for it because I am doing what I can to look better. Sure don't love those thighs, though!

Melissa

I have always hated my stomach and having to suck it in!:o

I always wished I could suck in my thighs, butt, hips, etc. When my bust was larger that didn't bother me because it seemed more socially acceptable than having other large parts. Since losing weight I have lost seven inches off my bust and I am down to a 38 inch bust and it is much MORE comfortable. My husband said I went from honeydews down to oranges-he thinks there is still enough there!

tummy,tummy,tummy,tummy,tummy,tummy,tummy,tummy,tummy, have always had one no matter what the scale said, i was a , have to suck it in before i ever had kids, now four kids later(youngest is 19, oldest 32) two surgeries, it would take a tummy tuck to rid me of whats left after losing 75 pds. but i am not having one, my husband has seen it for all of our marriage, and i dont plan on looking for another hubby(even if i outlive him) !

:( my butt

Most definitely my thighs and hips! :(

Mary

too funny! what a great topic! We can all be politically correct..but inside, I think we all do have those "trouble spots". I tend to be a bit of a "pear" shape..so that huge bootay of mine gives me the most grief! LOL LOL!!

Peach

I think this poll is funny, too! I am comfortable with my body in general, but I sure wish I hadn't inherited the thighs from my Mom's side of the family. That's my big trouble spot! It's funny, I was most attracted to my husband for his gorgeous long legs -- and he was to me for my (then) flat stomach (his is pretty big now!).

Lisrey :laugh:

This is an interesting poll. When I was in my 20's my thighs bugged me. Now that I am in my 30's, my stomach is getting so much bigger and flabbier. It just seems like my body decided this was the new place to store fat. I wonder why?

Ha! Ohh wow, when I saw this poll I tried to fill in 3 different bubbles! I hate my face fat, arm fat, and belly fat! I seriously wish it would just disolve away!

my tummy and butt...lol...oh and my upper arms <jiggle>

Funny topic - flabby upper arms make me think of my grandma so it freaks me out that mine aren't toned as I'd like.

I also have fat deposits on the sides of my hips (saddle bags). They get smaller but don't go away fully no matter how fit and trim I get - just the way I'm built I guess - I hate that too.

I would have to say i hate my stomach, since I have lost weight
I have lost my butt and that isn't what i needed to lose lol! working on that stomach now.

I could have it both wyas.

My stomach is where all my fat vacations.

However, the only time I ever have a bootay(junk in my trunk) is when I am overweight.

It has been pleasant having a little something but I suppose I will be glad that it is gone.


LIZ

My answer is All of the Above!!! But I didn't see that option!

I tried voting for everything! About the only thing I love is my ankles!

Rikki

:D that one was an easy one for me. :lily:

Anything below my chest and above my knees. I hate my belly and my butt, but especially my flabby upper legs (lol is that considered thighs? :-/ )

If i had to choose, it'd by my... man-breasts. ugh, what a disgusting sight.

actually i've seen lots of progress in that region of my body... breast size much reduced since july 8th. :D

LoL @ SmartDan! Thats funny!!! :D Personnally I abhor my thighs! They are HUGE(water retention say people) Hmph! Next come my stomach. :P The reason it isnt first is cuz I can always suck it in you know? The thighs just jiggle. UGH! :S I do not own shorts nor would i torture anyone with the sight of mine. :P I dont mind my arms so much... Im more fixated with my calfs :P YES! They are rather big too :/ I think its genetic. I pile more on the bottom half than the top half. Hmm... LoL!

Do you know what i dislike 3 of those areas - my stomach, my upper arms and my thighs - don't really notice my butt - possibly coz I can't see it lol but my thighs are probably the worst - so large. :(

Definatley the stomach....Just way too much there.

I hate my stomach. I have had it all my life. I guess that is why I "dislike" it so much. Gets in the way.

I don't think your poll is offensive at all. We are all here on DT to get real and just shout it out.

:peace: Becka aka Rebecca

Well I didn't vote neither i'd have to say all of the above plus my double chin. Always had a round face but now i added tires on to it. I have my mother's chin, my brothers sister's and so on. I only need one. so Hoping to sell one very very soon.

see you all lighter

My face. I absolutely HATE looking like I have three chins and no neck. No matter what I do, I can't hide that part !!! c(

As a new member of this group and having never before been on the net like this, I am nervous about contributing. I don't hate any part of my body but would appreciate being thinner. My man loves me the way I am but my health requires that I lose some weight--fibromyalgia, high blood pressure, diabetes (newly diagnosed). I am always bushwacked when I look in the mirror because in my head I am the tiny thing of 20+ years ago.

I hate my stomach! I have to stop blaming it on my kids...I'm not pregnant anymore!

I have four children, the last two were twin girls. I am five feel tall and when I was nine months pregnant I was 58 inches around. My BELLY is totally saggy! As I lose weight is just hangs even more. Way too much skin there! I know a lady who had her extra skin removed and said it was the best thing she ever did for herself cause she worked so hard to lose weight and then the big flappy belly made her feel like she still had something to do. I don't know if I would ever do that (probably couldn't afford it lol) but I would love to have a flat belly again.Thanks for asking, it gave me an outlet to get back into the group. Take care of all of beautiful you!

I voted other because I never hated anything on my body. I just want to be lighter all over.

Thighs. They are huge. They larger than many ppl's waists. And now that I'm losing weight, they've decided to dimple and sag. X|

I hate the way my stomach hangs over my low waist underwear. But, my husband does not like the "granny panties" that fit well. :o

I would have to say that my most hated spot on me is my stomach. I have a pouch that just won't go away. I have been working on it for a while now and it has gotten smaller, but not as small as I want it to get. A lot of it has todo with my surgery and gaining the weight afterwards. Actually this was a good question. Thanks.

i cant really say none of the things you have mentioned i really have a problem with... i have come to accept my body ..thats the way i am and i am happy in my own skin however losing the weight is a plus...but its all about being healthy with me you can be fat and healthy and thats the way i feel!!:D

I hate my belly. Not only is it fat-I had two surgeries on it and it definitely took its toll. I have scars that look like a cross and a couple of dents and holes. Ugly! If I do lose more weight, I want to do it gradually so I don't have alot of loose skin. My skin is probably not very elastic with all it has been through---but I don't want to go under the knife for a tummy tuck. No more docs for me. I just don't like 'em! X-( But I would love to see my feet again! :laugh:

:D welcome to diettalk 108! i wasn't offended by your question at all.

but now I dont...not only because I am losing weight with a great consistency but also because my weight loss coach from www.myprivatecoach.com has told me that if I don't love myself nobody can love me for what I am
.
I have to project a self-love to attract other's love.
Also, only a person who truly loves her/himself can truly love somebody else.

So now..I feel great about myself..a new feeling which is sooooooo cooool:o

Best!
Kris

While I do respect all parts and parcals of my body I don't have to
feel the love for those areas that are less or more *g* then they
need to be for my new and improving comfort levels.

Doesn't mean I must hate my stomach just means I respect
it's function while not loving it's apperance. To me thats an okay
attitude to have.

We're all much more then a number on the scales or the tape
measure. If those people in life gave me less validity when I
weighed 200 pounds, that's their hang up. I don't have to allow
it to become mine. I'm the same person at 145 as I will be at
115 there will simply be less of my physical essence taking up
space. And my knees will continue being much happier. *g*

Skew

I agree with Joanne. when i started loving me as i am. then i started losing wt. I have more in the middle area. no butt and legs. but hey that is the first place i lose. but belly area is getting some shape into it. not running all together.
as for Boobs i have big ones to. but with my mother and breast cancer and having one removed and my sister died with it. i appreciate them so much.. they can get in the way all they want. i will take that. ha good luck to all. got to love you. LaDean:)

My body has been through enough to have to put up with hate from me. I have to say that in the past I have hated my body but now that I have learned how to dress it properly and treat it the way a skinny woman would treat her body ,,,,with love and respect.........I am happy with it. It suits me. Its small and curvy/......just right for cuddling....I don't get any complaints..

Laoise

I put in there my tummy. I remember not so long ago when I use to tell people online that asked "what do you look like?" and responding that I was indeed a bit over weight but not one that you can't tell their boobies from their tummy. Now a days yes you can still tell I'm female that way but it more and more is getting hidden. I have always (even when I was thinner) been heavey busted and personally I liked it. Being looked at even THAT way was better then being looked at for being over weight. In belgium (moved here over 2years ago) that is one of the hardest things I have got to over come all over. Yes begium itself is also becoming more americaish with the fast foods and over weight people but for the most part unless they are older you don't see that many over weight people my age and most around my age either stare and then you even get the kids younger that out right speak it or make fun with NO respect for their elder *god what HAS the world come to??* Anyhow back to the poll. I would love to have a slimmer tummy but truthfully at the point I am at now ANYTHING slimmer would be great. 2nd choice I would have to agree with that "wing" i've gotten as well as it's mate next to it... that little piece I think sometimes as the part of my boobies that were trying to get away.

Thinking of that and seeing the posts.... I will have to asked that question. With losing weight and if you are doing a good amount of weights training... will that "wing" go away that is under most heavy set people and also how would one get rid of that part off to the side of one's breasts??? anyone have any thoughts or answers?
Missy9000

Goals:
- 340 pounds NOW *FAINT*
- To go down to a weight first where my scale will read it
- Every 10 pounds down from that point (remembering all the way that EVERY pound off counts toward my final goal and my health)
- 240 pounds (final goal for now and will make a new set of goals by then, but will also remember all the way that if that is hit that I MUST keep going and that someday I can/will be a normal and within range weight)

Awww man...I can only pick one??....:( well I dislike my tummy, hips, and thighs....love my chest :o.

*Ivy*

Stomach area here the middle area really. spare tire. lol LaDean

i hate my boobs at most :/

WOW.................I put tummy. I would love my body if I just did not have this little HANGOVER isssue. I am so happy and fine with my body when I wear drawstring pants but if I have on jeans or tighter pants i have that hangover and its just nasty. I am seriously looking into Drs. in the Ukraine for liposuction this fall. I hear its really really cheap. Then I will be happy. I dont want to be skinny just HAPPY!!! :D

oh and I love my boobs LOL

My stomach! Stupid lovehandles, lol. I can't wait til I reach my weight goal...my stomach will be thin and I will be living in a bikini!

stomach. its the only thing on me that I hate looking at.

my big stomach. and the lower part of my legs. thats where the fat is most notable, when ive got a flat stomach ill be the happiest guy in the world.

I have to agree with the people who say they don't hate their bodies, just the way they look. My answer was other, I have this hump at the back of my neck that drives me nuts. It does go down when I lose weight, but never really disappears. In fact it has been a good motivator for me to start excercising again. Fortunately, it seems to be my private embarrassment, my hair seems to disguise it some.

Definately my upper-arm wabble.......I detest wearing tank tops or other sleeveless shirts and would really like to change that.....

The hump you're talking about is pretty common, squish. I wouldn't stress over it.

The part I hate about myself, well, parts, are my upper arms and my back. I wish my back were more toned, and my upper arms could definately use some toning. I'm working on it.

I carry most of my weight in my ears ...geesh I hate that! Its hard to find exercises for your ears you know it? :hop:

Actually its my legs ,,,gotta get them smaller !!!!

I started to say "face" because some of my friends and relatives actually don't recognize me since I've gained so much. That hurts.

Then I remembered the last time I checked the back of my hair with a hand mirror when I happened to be shirtless. My back! It looked like a set shirred draperies. Ewww.

Still I agree with those of you who have reminded us not to hate our bodies. We're all very lucky if we have two arms, two legs and a healthy heart and lungs.

well mine is but and thighs, i tend to remain skinny at the waist and its the first place i loose weight when i try my, bum and thighs just cant seem to come to terms with the fact that i want them to be smaller lol

I know exactly what you mean, ickle.

Stomach because that's my weak spot... It's also really hard to hide because it seems like that's what ppl notice the most. I have known girls that had a round face and pudgy arms, but if they could wear a tight top streamlined over their jeans no one thought they were fat.

Jenn

By far, my stomach. My BMI has always been okay, but I've always hated my stomach. Actually, a large part of the problem is that my hips are narrow and I have a flat chest. If only there were exercises to give me bigger hips, then my waist wouldn't look so thick in comparison. I really just want to be well proportioned, but because my top and bottom are so small, I have to work so hard at trimming that middle.

My cheeks are also too round, but there isn't much I can do about that.

I would have to say from the waist to the upper thighs, which include the hips and butt....all the body that is covered with a pair of shorts, lol. Though, i will add that I no longer hate my body, but severly dislike that area as it presently is. :)

I don't mind the body but not the body god gave me. It's what i did to it. Now i have to undo it.

Ok, this question might be "negative" or "in the wrong mindset," but I'm really curious. I'm just a newbie so please don't kill me! Thanks, I appreciate it.
I don't like my love handles. I guess you can say thats part of the stomach. :tomato:

i happen to love all of me. okay, maybe if i was uber-positive that'd be true. more or less, i don't care for any part of my body that has an extensive amount of unwanted fat on top of it. i do love myself though, regardless, and hopefully someday i'll feel comfortable in my skin. :D

brandon ~o)

Polls like this make me shake my head. Why make your life miserable concentrating on the horrible things about yourself? :(

True, we don't want to spend much, if any, time on the negative aspects, but I think it was just an innocent question. In reality there are things we don't like, whether about ourselves or about things around us.

Hi.
My problem area would most definitely be my stomach. kitty

The things I don't like about my body are my thighs and my stomach. I would like flat abs and toned thighs. I will get there though, give me time.

I hate that little roll of fat at my waist.. the one that looks ok when I stand straight and proper, but when I sit makes my shirt bulge out and if I sit too long creates creases in my shirt that are oh so obvious when I stand up. X-(

I'm actually due to have a tummy tuck on the Nation Health Service :cheer:

(Medical Treatment is free in the UK, not usually "Cosmetic Surgery" though).

I have to loose a few more pounds (37) because they won't do it until I'm 140lbs.

So of course I'll say my stomach because I hate it so much I'm getting it chopped off!! :-&

We're not talking a little pot belly here, I have swathes of loose skin from the weight loss and two pregnancies. :o

The rest of me looks fabulous though, I've been really lucky coz the rest of my body has really good elasticity. :D

The part I hate most is definitely my stomach. It is really very large. Hoping when I lose all of this weight that it will help some.

I voted other... I don't hate one part of my body specifically- I really like my figure when it's as small as possible, but when I gain weight, it distributes itself pretty evenly. Although right now I would have to say my butt. It feels like most of my weight went to my butt this time. ..not cool. :)

stomach!

I don't really like the appearance of any of my body parts, but I'd have to say my middle is the worst. Not just my stomach, but around to my back too. I will be glad when that goes away....that way when my husband hugs me, I won't have to squirm around to make sure he doesn't touch the fat areas :(

:spring:

WorkingOnIt

Stomach definately, that is where the stretch marks are... :)

I'm trying really hard to not hate my body, but the one part that I like the least :tongue: would be my thighs. They always are rubbing together, and when I wear shorts the legs ride up and I look like an idiot!

My face because thats what I see every morning and in pictures I always see my weight fluctuation in my chin.

stomach! i have what other posters have mentioned, fat bulge ABOVE the waist, even when i am a lower weight, combined with A cups it looks not so great :P Fat below the waist can look cute though, i think!

stomach for me too! ...I have fat stored both lower and upper abs .. I have no children and its embarrasing when people ask when my baby is due, hurtful too as I can't have children. So lots of work cut our for me in my exercise routine ha ha!

Without a doubt- my upper arms. They're still 13"- same as my neck! I don't know if I'm ever going to be able to get rid of the fat there... actually, the fat isn't the real problem, it's the flappy, stretch-marked skin. Argh, I hate them.

I like my tummy, always have- sure, I've got some hangover pudge there and lined/stretchmarked skin, but for some reason it doesn't bother me. On the whole, it's pretty flat and what isn't flat is easily disguisable with clothes.

I've never stored fat on my face, I'm one of these weirdos who still had razor-sharp cheekbones even when I was rocking the 48" hips! I store weight on my butt, hips and thighs... and, man, is it ever hard to get rid of.

I chose my face, although thighs were close. I hate to have a pudgy face because that is what everyone has to see when they talk to me lol. But I also hate my thighs, I carry a lot of weight there.

Definitely the stomach. Actually...everywhere I have stretch marks. Ugh. X-(

stomach. nothing's worst than a big 'ol beer gut :D

I dont really like my body, end of. But i hate my stomach the most cos its biig and has stretch marks. My thigs are bigger than i want them to be but they can be quite cute sometimes and somehow the stretchmarks that i had there are gone! :laugh: :D And i love my jlo butt ;) :o

I weigh 197 and look like I'm 9 months pregnant. People have
even asked me when it's due. even when I was slender I had
a podge. I don't know what its like to have a flat belly.
Sexyacura X-( :c( :pass:

I would have to say my stomach but I really don't like what gaining weight has done to my face. i don't even have cheek bones anymore!!

The Chest area has always been an issue for me. I never seem to buy the right size bras or the right shaped cup to accommodate them. It is frustrating.
And that was the first motivating factor for starting my diet. I'd buy new shirts that ought to fit but my chest would pop open shirt buttons at the worst possible moments, or I would buy a cute shirt and bring it home and try it on and couldn't get it past the boobs!

And as I lose weight it is getting better. Even that extra flab on the sides is slowly going away too!

I'm gonna have to go to one of those pricey department stores where a sales lady helps you find the right bra once I lose all the weight. Then I'll really know what size I am!

I said stomach although what I really dislike, is the entire 'barrel' effect I have going on down there!!! I have my grandmother's body! God bless genes I suppose!!!!8-|

Thighs without a doubt, but with this last weight gain I actually got a big belly too... never had that before... so that's really what's bugging me now. But the thighs have always been my problem

Hey BB! You made lol when you mentioned "the extra flab on the sides"! Damn those things! :laugh:

Why wait til you lose weight to go bra shopping. You don't need to go into one of those fancy dept. stores for assistance. Just shop shop shop! That's half the fun. I prefer the shaped bras made by Vanity Fair. They have a pretty good selection. If you want to find the best fit though, you could check outlets malls that have specialty bra shops, they usually have great sales reps who can help.

Hey 108. I love having my kids and even enjoyed the majority of my pregnancies, but I will have to say those little journies did some nasty things to my belly. I have always been obese, I mean since childhood, and I disliked most of the fat on my body, but now my belly wins hands down. It seems to have taken on a life of it's own and it just won't go away. Anyway there you go.:caf:

Oh, I hate my arms! Really really really hate them! BOTH...

lol..

hi guys... ive been working out for 2 months now....i havent lost a single pound=( i speed walk on the treadmill for an hour a day...strenght train 3x a week..eat sensible meals throuout the day...i was wondering..y arent i losing?? my clothes seem a lil looser but...still..thanks so much

Definitely stomach wins, hands down. I cannot get rid of the belly. I think it has just been there so long it is quite comfortable!! It is really frustrating that I can get my waist into some smaller sizes, but the gut and hips insist that we need the larger size.X-(
However, on the pos side, my calves are looking stylin'!!!:D

Yosh, it's true! All that extra fat under the arm pits stretches out your bras! And as I lose, the bras just look silly! Thank goodness I've been able to find my old ones packed away in storage!

That, and buying Camisoles with extra support helps too! I bought a bunch of them!!

i would have to say my thighs. It runs in my family to have bigger thighs, but mine are a little to big. it would be my stomach but having been a little chubby over the last few years i've learned how to hide it from everyone else.

Amber, with the right exercises, those thighs are going to slim down in no time!
I had a pair of jeans where at the beginning of my diet could not even get my thighs into them. Now my thighs are the slimmest part of me thanks to lots of walking and aerobics. It can happen for you too!:hug:

stomach, but yeah, my upper arms are a CLOSE second.......they're like bat wings!! and my thighs..........uhhhhh
i just hate being fat period!!

GOOD pole!

I would have to say... My hips.. I have a pretty decent upper stomach.. looks pretty damn good if I say so myself.. the lower part is getting to be hard to tone up a bit.. It gets on my nerves.. And doin those workouts where you're laying on ur back holding something and then holding your legs up at a certain angle is the HARDEST!!.. Too bad there's nothing easier? But my hips are the worst.. they stick out too much.. and my boobs are too big.. They're about a D and are hard to go running or anything having to do with bounce... Sports bra's are the hardest to find that fit and help!!!! I should pretty much duct tape them! Lol..

hehe, I take a good look at myself in the mirror, decided I'm damn sexy from my thighs down and from my shoulders up!

my gut.... YUCK! it hangs over my belt buckle.

My big ole jodphur lookin thighs!

But I like my calves alot and if you cut out the area from my waist to 6 inches above my knees, I am downright thin already.

Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't be here chatting if I weren't interested in losing weight. But, I'm with Jessica about not "hating" any part of my body, or viewing my body as comprised of discrete, interchangable parts. Do we really want to submit to thinking of our bodies as we do industrial products, like cars?
Okay, here's something perverse: do you ever think you'd miss parts of your body being large? Taking up space? Expressing desire, passion, and the satisfaction of those? Sometimes I think I'm taken more seriously (esp. as a professional woman), and in another way seen as less threatening, since I'm bigger.
The other day I was thinking about a rotund friend I'd learned had signed up for WW, and I was kind of sad: first, I thought, but she always seems to so enjoy food and not to be bothered by being overweight. Second, I thought, she's such a perfectionist she'd be annoying if she weren't invitingly and unthreateningly plump. So what's all that about? Not sure but my only real point is: there's good and bad with everything, and steering clear of "hateful" extremes in general is probably not a bad idea.

don't let excuses get in the way

I have to say that I don't have an individual body part that I hate. My family tends to be an extreme of the pear shape. Even the guys in my family, like me, tend to be larger than most people everywhere below the rib cage.

At my thinnest as an adult, I used to have to buy pants that were three sizes too big (about 6 inches) in the waist so that they would fit my thigh to knee region. I had to have the waist/butt taken in so that they would fit right.

High boots and straight-leg jeans have always been out of the question too.

I have liked some things about that region of my body before too. When I am in shape, it gets very strong very quickly. But it has always looked horrible.

I have to vote with Kayzzee on this one. The stomach is the worst but the upper arms.... Bat wings!!!! Hahahaha...couldn't have said it better myself. Right now I'm just fat enough that I'm wanting a full body symetrical slimdown and any part of me that decided to comply would make me pretty darn happy :) I tend to lose in the face and boobs first, so maybe the rest of the upper extremities will jump on the bandwagon.

Good poll--

Great question actually! I have to say my stomach for sure, I hate it when i'm wearing jeans and its all hanging over :(

Actually its a tie I dislike my stomach and my face the most I have a really chubby face and rolly stomach!!

I gained 70 lbs in a 2year span and really I gain all over so I held my weight good for the longest time I just looked in the mirror and all of a sudden noticed that I wasn't just fluffy anymore I am now fat, its not about not loving ourselves, I do I guess you got to theres know getting away from yourself but obviously if we loved the fat that we added to our bodies we wouldn't want to rid ourselves of it and I want it gone yesterday!!!! I have to say though I'm with most so far, I can't stand my stomach its the first place I gain but its also the first I lose too I'm really looking forward to getting back on the wagon with getting my life in order I know I can do this good bye belly,Happy New year!!!

I gained 30 pounds since August! Now I'm starting to look like santa clause. I have thin legs and arms. All my weight seems to go to my thighs, hips, butt and tummy. My tummy is the most obvious and its the worst because I can't seem to cover it with anything! In other words I look 4-5 months pregnant! I usually get....... how many months? :(

So I guess thats the part I hate the most.

My face and coming in second is my tummy!

Just stumbled on to this thread. Here goes. I hated being fat, everything. REcently I gained back some pounds - and I noticed it the worst in my belly. Hands down. I also noticed my double chin.

When I am at goal weight the thing I hate the most is my arms, the bat wings.

I have pretty big thighs but don't worry about it as long as I can look pretty good in a pair of jeans. But the big belly makes the jeans tight and not look so good either.

I don’t know which one I hate worse thighs or face. With a fat face I always feel fat and don’t photograph well. However, with fat thighs they always rub together. I hate that! I’ve been blessed with a flat stomach, thank goodness. So that isn’t a problem area for me.

I hate my little pouch, My boyfriend thinks it is cute. but if I could I would just cut my pouch off and by happy lol (lose that extra bowling ball lol)

The women in my family have a history of carrying a lot of their fat in their stomachs. So I, being a bigger girl to start out with, has quite a belly! B-)

All right, I can't say that I hate my body, but one area that really frustrates me is the loose skin (rolls) that span from my side to my back. I have one on each side and they are not only appalling to look at, but they make me feel extra heavy and physically uncomfortable. The other night, my youngest son was poking my right roll...agh!

I HATE MY LEGS, there so long they could be model legs, but because of them im in HUge jeans, and i just want thinner legs, so when i ware heels or skirts or trousers i dont think, oh my god, my legs are so giant they could consume me. :-(

Hi!

My least favourite body part? My thighs - in particular my saddle bags!

I have to say my stomach is my least favorite body part. It is soooo noticable and it makes everything look bad... shirts, pants, so it seems unaviodable.

Like a lot of people here, I hate my stomach.X-( It has always been big, even if the rest of me wasn't. It's almost impossible to find shirts to wear that look stylish and that don't show off all of my fat rolls. I usually just wear baggy sweatshirts. ARG..

Hi 108
This is not offensive:) But the Stomach Area is the most hated part on my body and my Thighs... A. The stomach Because the weight really shows up on my stomach and the rolls aren't that attractive and it makes you self conscious and you know doesn't make you feel beautiful or even really noticable. The Thighs because you know I have alot of cellulite and stretch marks (Varicose Veins) and you know you feel really uncomfortable about the cellulite and excess weight when you're wearing a bathing suit you just I don't know see all these thin women in the magazines that you know they look like they don't have a weight problem and I get so mad when I see them in their thin Mini Skirts:o
