How to rid of back fat?!

Aspen, on August 28, 2017 at 11:36 PM

Posted in Fitness and Health 29

I found the most GORGEOUS dress the other day, I just had to have it. The back goes down very far, so it makes me have back rolls. I want to look my best for my wedding, so I have started running every night and doing the stairmaster. Do any of you all have any sure fire tips that you did/have done...

Do any of you all have any sure fire tips that you did/have done previously where I can be sure to lose these by June??

    You can't spot reduce fat, and cardio isn't necessarily the answer either. Lift weights, eat clean, and still continue with cardio for overall cardiovascular health, but weights are the answer. Don't target just your back with weights, have a well rounded workout routine. Example, if you workout say, four days a week, make sure you have a leg-focused day, a bicep/tricep focus day, a chest/shoulder day, and a back day. This is just a really basic routine and can obviously be switched up. If lifting weights at a gym aren't an option, don't underestimate the power of push-ups, pull-ups, and one set of dumbbells or a kettlebell!

    I would just go with a different dress. Eat less, lift weights and move more, will help your appearance but honestly I'd just get a new dress that you are comfortable in now

    If the dress is giving you fat rolls it means it doesn't fit properly. And since this is a sample dress, they almost never fit anyone properly like your actual dress will.

    That being said, I have worked my entire life to try and lose weight in certain areas of my bod. Truth be told, those waist cinchers do nothing and there is no way to spot treat body fat. Right now I just wanted to tone up my arms for my wedding. Now I am getting a ton of muscle under the fat and I have a fat lip on my arm I have never had. They actually got half an inch larger around! But my ass is 4" smaller. I am not even trying to work out my lower body since I have a huge ball gown.

    Your best bet, is just be a nice healthy you.

    The only thing that I can tell you will spot treat fat guaranteed is coolsculpting. However it's pricey, about $450 a plate and that's with serious negotiating and you would need 2 plates,1 for each side. But I can promise you it works, I did it and my bulges like that are gone.

    Otherwise just like pp said make sure to eat right and lift weights, full body but make sure to focus on back strengthening movements too.

    I've lost 20 pounds for my wedding, work my back muscles and have only seen a slight reduction in the roll. I agree about getting a dress you're more comfortable with

    Push-ups and core work have done it for me... along with general dieting. I haven't lost very many pounds but I am slimmer and more toned

    That being said, you look really quite slim already, so I think it's just the unforgiving cut here. May want to choose a different one so you don't stress over it? You have a great figure for long dresses it looks like (from what I can see) so I doubt you'll have trouble finding another!

    Here is the front of the dress. Thank you all for your answers! I have been dying to get in shape, and I felt like this dress was my motivation to do so
