Imagine you had one wish and could magically improve one body part... Which would it be?
We all have those "problem areas." You know, the pooch, the arm jiggle or the inside of your thighs. I know a lot of women who'd love to get rid of the back fat by their bra strap, or take just a little (or a lot!) off their backside. And even though we know spot-reducing isn't really possible, a girl can dream, can't she?
I personally would do just about anything for a set of abs. I know they're under there (heaven knows I've done enough crunches in my life), but I just can't seem to see them. No matter how I crunch, twist, hang or stretch, those darn abs won't come out of hiding! I think it's the whole pooch thing sabotaging my efforts. Silly pooch... If I could lose weight in one area first, I would most definitely wish to part ways with the pooch.
So how about you? If you had to pick ONE spot to tighten up first, which would it be? Let us know by commenting below!

After loosing 60 pounds and a breast reduction I feel pretty good, but I would love to get rid of mt granny arm waddles and the extra skin from my thighs. I'm in a size 6, work out 5 days a week, have flat abs, and an over-all toned body, but I still can't were short sleeves and a skirt ... and absolutely not a bathing suit, without being embarassas.

I wish I could lose my belly..No matter how well I eat or how much I work out it never goes away!!

the rest of my body shows my hard work, but the belly still looks like I had two C-sections. Just can't get rid of it.

Lose excess fat in stomach! I WOULD LIKE TO LOSE ALL THE FAT NEEDED FOR ME TO BE HEALTHY.

the bra back area just wont go away! and summer is coming...

Definately the tummy. C-section never left it the same. I can lose weight and be fit and still have the little Kangaroo pouch.

I would like to have a personal trainer and chef to lose ALL my weight. I work out 5 days a week, but still can't give up chocolate!! I'd like to get rid of the excess around my hips and waist for sure!!!

I had a knee injury about 8 years ago, after 4 Arthroscopy procedures, I am bone on bone. I wish for a new knee. I can no longer dance, run or ride bikes with my grandchildren. I have to ride electric carts in the grocery store. A NEW KNEE FOR ME.

First and foremost would definitely have to be my belly. I'm eating right and exercising 5 days a week, yet the flab on my stomach just does not seem to go away. Second in line would have to be my butt. It's definitely a work in progress.

Like most women, I'd really like to lose my overweight tummy !
Comment: Thursday, March 20, 2008 8:06:00 AM - said...
I would lose my flabby arms. Eveything else can be covered in the summer.

I'm in pretty good shape for 53 yrs old - but I'd like to lose the crepe-like stretch marks on my stomach. Yes, wish in one hand...
Comment: Thursday, March 20, 2008 8:10:00 AM - said...
my waistline to shrink a couple of inches, then the tummy, then the butt, thighs, yup

The Swinging upper arms and bra overhang that seem to persist-- Am Age 63, healthy, within appropriate weight range, regular walking 2-3 miles/day, but after 2 yrs of working out @ the Y my arms still swing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God helped me lose 65 pounds and keep it off over the last 2 yrs
for which I am extremely thankful at age 52. However, after having
5 children, 2 c-sections and a hystyerectomy, the 'hanging' skin
below my tummy button would be
my first 'wish' along with a trimmer waistline. But I am thankful that God has helped me
remain healthy and fit. Couldn't have done it without Him!

IT WOULD BE MY STOMACH AND THE LOVE HANDLES. I CAN'T STAND THEM!!! I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A FREE TRAINER TO HELP ME REACH MY DREAM.

I would love to lose that little "fold" in the lower belly. My 2 c-sections left a small scar, but there's nothing I can do about the stretched skin:( otherwise I'm happy with my shape

I would love to have toned arms so I can wear sexy tops and sun dresses. I have flabby thighs but I can always hide those with capries.

I would love to lose my love handles. I have lost the weight and wear a size 4/6. I have toned the body and made muscle instead of fat. I exercise 5 days a week and do floor exercises every day.
Comment: Thursday, March 20, 2008 9:42:00 AM - said...
definitely would love to lose the pooch along with extra baggage that lies below the mid section of my back. I really hate that.
Comment: Thursday, March 20, 2008 9:43:00 AM - said...
Of course there are lots of things I would like to improve, but I would definitely like to get rid of my inner thighs. I feel like no matter how hard I work out, everything gets smaller but that...I will not wear a bathing suit without shorts.
Comment: Thursday, March 20, 2008 9:51:00 AM - said...
The tummy pooch. I'm naturally thin, do cardio & strength on alternating days, and have great toned abs.... under a layer of fat that won't budge!

Aw heck ladies!
Everything else that was said is sooo true for me too. So, what the thing I would like to change? Let's change all those Barbie dolls and models to show young people the REAL world!! That the majority of people DO have stretch marks from having babies, belly flab, back fat and everything else! Yep, let's all work hard on improving ourselves and our health, Yes, I'm all for that, BUT for god's sake let's get the rest of the world to be REAL too!!! And hey, get that bathing suit on and go swimming, it'll be good for you. Let's all STOP being embarrassed because we're NORMAL. OK?

I have had saddle bags that the Pony Express would have been proud to carry...even when my goal in high school was to get UP TO 100 pounds. If I could dump these buggers I would be content.

I would also like to lose the belly. I go to Curves 3 days a week, and now work out with the ball, but it persists!!! I have lost 14 1/2 inches overall at Curves since Aug!
If you don't like your arms- work out with weights...they make a huge difference quite quickly.

My greatest 'magic' trick will be getting rid of my baby gunt.

I hd to be on steriods for a head injury I sustained several years ago. Even though I've lost alot of the weight-I evercise regularly! I can't seem to loose the breast weight/size - this gives me back pain, needless to say it's hard to find nice tops.
Comment: Thursday, March 20, 2008 11:08:00 AM - said...
Butt, thighs (inner), and hips all need work. I'm lucky - I have a naturally flat stomach and I'm fairly happy with my upper body but almost everything else could use some improvement. I'm a pear-type. I can tell when I'm getting into shape - my calves tone up substantially. It's a unique way to keep tabs on my fitness but true.

i would love to lose the fat all over. but if i had to choose one place it would be the love handles!

Having two kids that are in their tens and a hysterectomy a couple of years ago no matter how much i diet or exercise i cannot get rid of any of the excess tummy, butt, or thighs that i have gained.

I wish I could get rid of the extra skin on my stomach from losing weight. It is not as bad as some people on the tv but it still makes me look fat.
Comment: Thursday, March 20, 2008 2:35:00 PM - said...
I am 35 yrs young and recently had a hysterectomy. I am 40 lbs over my ideal weight goal. I had a beautiful son 2.5 yrs ago and I am heavier now than I was 3 weeks after giving weight. Granted that the reason for my hysterectomy was a very large fibroid which continued to grow! I just became a member and would like to know if anyone out there can share some of their experiences with me in order to make this an easier journey.

deff my stomach! like everyone else i guess. im working out a few times a week- just started about a month ago. its not really that im happy with everything else- but it doesnt bother me as much as my tummy. and like a lot of others, when i diet i lose everywhere but it takes A LOT more to get it off my belly. im pretty positive ill never have a flat tummy.. i just want it thinner.. a nice waist line.. : ( im trying!
Comment: Thursday, March 20, 2008 3:02:00 PM - said...
Definatly the belly pooch! Can not get rid of it.
Comment: Thursday, March 20, 2008 3:31:00 PM - said...
I wish i could drop just 1o more pounds, lose my big behind, and tighten my legs and rear.
Comment: Thursday, March 20, 2008 6:40:00 PM - said...
I'm not too greedy. A personal trainer to help me slim my belly, back arms, back of my thighs, and the back of my bra strap.
Comment: Thursday, March 20, 2008 11:50:00 PM - said...
I've lost 105 lbs but still and having trouble toning up my inner thighs and ab area. I'm in a size 6 but still not comfortable in a bathing suit because of this.

I am sorry to say the only way to lose the waddles and extra skin is by surgery. I also have lost the weight and toned the body. I wear a size4/6. I want to lose the love handles, but have been told they won't go away on there own.
Comment: Friday, March 21, 2008 10:41:00 AM - said...
I would lose my teeth. They are the only part of me I don't like.
Comment: Friday, March 21, 2008 1:21:00 PM - said...
I would like to lose all the fat pockets between my breast and waistline in both the back and front first.
Comment: Saturday, March 22, 2008 5:28:00 PM - Connie said...
First the fat in both my upper and lower abs area need to go. Then my back, rear and hips. I've lost 37 pounds and still working on it.

I eat very healthy foods, get a lot of exercise, and still always, no matter what, I still have a little belly. I just read the article in the Diet section of this site about belly flattening foods - I think I'll try some of those tips.

Belly fat is about the last place a person can lose. Exercise is about the only way and than very hard. Sometimes it is just the way we are built, no matter what you will have the belly fat.
