Exercise and weightloss question.

[Savij]

I've always been skinny, 5'8 120 lbs from 8th grade through sophomore year of college. That summer I rocketed up to a whopping 130. I always had really low body fat and actually had some decent muscle tone due to sports.

This last year I took some medication that caused me to gain 10lbs in the one week I was taking it, and I continued to gain for a little while afterwards. I went up to 150 lbs, most of it going to my stomach (skinny guy with a belly, yuck!), and some showing in my face. Most people say it looks good on my face.

I've managed to start losing the weight again with my patented "stop shovelling food at your face" diet. I can start to see the difference that working out has made in my arms and legs, I'm getting slowly getting stronger etc. The one thing I don't want to lose is the little bit of "padding" on my face. Is it possible to drop the rest off my stomach w/o losing it on my face? If I stop trying to lose the fat and just work out, will the extra bulk from the muscle growth hide the belly fat while leaving my face as handsome as it is now?

Please help me, if don't get an answer soon, i'm going to start cutting my self

Well, not so much /wrists, but help and info would be appreciated.

Rather than repost the same big blurb I always do on these threads, I will just advise you to visit the board in my sig, make a post there introducing yourself and explaning your situation, and read all the stickies in the forum there.

The people there are very knowledgeable and helpful.

To quickly answer your question - you have no control over where your body decides to take fat away from. There is no way you can make it lose it in any particular order. It will lose it in whatever order your genetics dictate.
