Poofie, the article that Karen linked to will relieve many of your concerns - fat really does move about. I can personally attest to the fact that some weeks I've lost 1/2 an inch on one calf only to find it the next week on the other calf. The three types of fat on our bodies are also lost (and gained) in a particular order - intra muscular fat (fat deposited in the muscles) is gained and lost first, viseral fat (around the organs) and subcutaneous fat (just under the layer of skin) are lost after the intramuscular fat stores have been used up. This is why we often notice certain areas of our bodies get lumpy or resemble the consistency of Jell-O just before we lose a chunk of fat. Drawing on the intramuscular fat will leave the muscle looking giggly, drawing on the abdominal fat will leave your stomach looking that way too.
