i have like a pregnant belly
like my stomach fat is round and hard but not that big [my boobs go past it and i am a low C-cup]
if i suck in my stomach i can see all of my ribs and it can go in pretty far
so i am thinking this probably has something to do with something i am eating.. maybe too much sugar?
i dunno, it's weird
It's really a problem, it happens due to fast food and sugar. Just avoid fast food in your diet and have lots of water which help you in reducing fat. Do some workout daily .

I have the same problem! My stomach looks like i'm a few months pregnant, but my ribs show on top. what the heck! but I dont eat a lot of sugar or fat.
Hopefully someone will know what causes this, unless it's just the shape of our bodies, darn genetics!
I have the same problem. I mean, damn, I keep losing but the stomach looks like it's staying the same.
everyone has their trouble spots, something you just have to deal with unless u plan on becoming extremely skinny/fit like bmi 19. personally my thighs are always huge in comparison to everything else. and being able to see ribs isn't a good teller of anything, i could see my ribs at 170 lbs.
i do eat the occasional fast food
but my diet is primarily healthy stuff
Sounds like the last 10-15 pounds left.
Now this might be totally wrong because i've done no research to back it up, but its possible its what you wear. My mother for her whole life wore clothing that was tight around the ribs and looser around the stomach and developed a large pooch there even when the rest of her lost weight. My boyfriend wears his clothing very tight around the hips though and has a little of a permanent muffin top above his pants line, even when not wearing clothes. And so on... Its probably similar to how you can shape your waist with a corset and so on, and if that is the case you could probably re-shape it with time.

Oh dear god, I have the same thing.
I know a couple people for whom this is true, and it's actually just the shape of their body. If your stomach is hard, there is probably not much fat on it so it's wise not to focus on losing too much weight.
The people I know who have this though, are very pretty and beautiful women so don't think that this is somehow bad. (:

i think you're right on the money
it would be nice if the last 10lbs was scattered a bit better
Are you standing with correct posture? That might help a little.
It's hard to comment without actually seeing your stomach. What some people call a big round belly might not be much to someone else. It could be genetics, as in the last place you lose fat, or the curve of your spine. It could be your posture, and working out some will tone you up and straighten you up in addition to losing the bit of fat there.
I find that when I stop eating wheat, and up my veg, it sends everything through and my belly goes down considerably. But if I eat it daily, I def look a few months prgenant! my bf once said he liked me looking like that, but he's been broody for ages tho bless him, so tisn't all bad lol
