Do you think losing 5 pounds will affect my curves

I weigh 143 pounds, this has been my stable weight for as long as I remember, I don't really fluctuate when it comes to that. I have never dieted with the goal of losing weight, and I don't want to lose weight in a dramatic manner either. But I have a little belly "pooch", it really doesn't show that much, but as a woman that I am... I am picky about the smallest thing I put my attention to. lol

I have thought of losing at least 5 pounds and see if that helps with lowering the belly a little, but I am concerned that I may lose those 5 pounds from my curvy sides. What do ya'll think?

The pooch doesn't bother me one bit if I wear leggings, tights, spandex, or dresses, in fact with these clothings it's not even there. But I normally wear jeans on a regular day to day basis and that's when it shows (since jeans are tighter or don't rise up as much). This is where it bothers me the most. And I hate jeans for that matter, out of all the pants I own I only have ONE pair of jeans that are very stretchy yet curve fitting and don't cause my belly to be tightened up and show.

Excercising doesn't really address the issue with this which is why I thought that maybe I should lose some pounds instead. But I don't want to lose anything from my booty or hips (not one single inch!!! LOL)

I agree about changing your diet. And exercise can address the issue IF you are doing the correct exercises. If you can strengthen your core, you can prepare it to burn fat around your midsection with cardio or other workouts. Unfortunately, you have the potential to burn fat everywhere. If you are a pear shape, your lower body won't be the first to go, if that brings hope into your life, LOL.

I would try CLA as well. I use it and the first thing that started slimming down was my lower stomach. I could start to see my panty line without lifting it up or moving it out the way, LOL.

With consistency and dedication, I think you will be just fine.
