Is it normal to feel more flabby when you're losing weight?

[Anonymous]

This often happens to me when the scale goes down, the flab factor goes up. I am a regular exerciser and pretty toned but I just get the sense that the fat dissolves in a way that turns to flab. Anyone else experience this?

Yes, some people call it squishy fat. Something about the water in your cells, but I’ve heard it mentioned often.

Fat cells shrink but never go away. That's why lipo is so popular. So you have to build muscle, too, as the weight drops.

a good NYT article on the subject of fat cells - https://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2017/02/17/are-fat-cells-forever/
