Default Robochallenge September begins

Robochallenge: http://www.delorie.com/health/adslc/

311/152.8/145 month-start: 153.2 monthly-goal: 4 since: 01/12/2003

I'm dropping my goal from 150 to 145. The lower belly bulge and upper arm
fat have reduced by about 40% in just the last month. However, the lower
belly looks like it must be at least 5 pounds of fat. Unfortunately, the
body will probably still prioritize taking fat from other areas. I don't
want to lose fat from the rest of my body, but it seems to be the price I'll
have to pay to get the damn lower belly bulge off. My waist size is still
to large too. It is about 39 and should be 36.

Fat, as an organ, has a full vasculature and other supporting structures. I
have wondered if part of my problem is that what looks and feels like a
bulge of fat, may be largely a nest of blood vessels. Also, they say, that
once fat cells are created for obesity, that they do not go away. They only
reduce in size. Having once had a huge belly with about a 64 waist, it is
conceivable that I will be left with the extra fat cells taking up a few
inches because they have reached minimum cell size.

I'm going to try to take it off anyway.
