With weight loose aren't you supposed to spot loose?

Ok So I've lost 13 pounds and I measured myself today.  I looked back at my March measurements and my inches lost are everywhere but my stomach.  I've only lost 1/2 an inch, yet tons everywhere else (legs, butt, and even arms)  I thought that loosing weight in one target area wasn't possible, and yet you are supposed to loose little bits everywhere.  So any ideas why?? I just found this to be strange

    You can not make your body lose fat in one area over another.  However, you body may naturally get smaller in some areas faster than others.  For example, my stomach fat is the first place I gain, and the last place I lose.  I can't do anything to change that.  Eventually my stomach fat goes away, but for me to "see" the results takes a little longer.

    HTH!

    My inner thighs are the very last place that I lose weight, I've noticed. No amount of hip adduction/abduction has been able to rid myself of my problem thighs, however, that doesn't mean I don't still work those areas. I know they'll catch up to the rest of my body eventually. I'm not giving up on them. ;-)

    Holy crap I almost left this thread over loose/lose.  What the hell is happening to our education systems?  Texting is the devil.

    Anyways, as the others that mentioned you lose fat and inches based on your genetics, not just a bit everywhere.  Losing more inches from one place is something your body just does, not the result of spot training.

    Ditto.  I almost didn't open this thread when I seen that in the subject line.  Then I decided I needed to see what the rest of the post looked like.
