Progress photographs

You cannot 'spot fat reduce' i.e. target a specific area to lose fat from, you lose it all over.

Don't lose sight of the fact that when you gain weight the first storage area it goes is generally the abdominal area which is why this is normally the last place the last bits comes off when you lose it. Be mindful of this when doing progress pics and assess yourself all over.  If you aren't you will lose sight of the progress you have made on the rest of your body, the strong defined shoulders, a toned and defined back with that 'gap' down the middle, toned legs and forearms.

In my experience you will see much more progress in the abdominal area last, i.e. when your overall body fat is getting very low.
