Abdominal obesity, colloquially known as belly fat or clinically as central obesity, is the accumulation of visceral fat resulting in an increase in waist size. There is a strong correlation between central obesity and cardiovascular disease. Visceral fat, also known as organ fat or intra-abdominal fat, is located inside the peritoneal cavity, packed in between internal organs and torso, as opposed to subcutaneous fat which is found underneath the skin, and intramuscular fat which is found interspersed in skeletal muscle. Visceral fat is composed of several adipose depots including mesenteric, epididymal white adipose tissue (EWAT) and perirenal fat. An excess of visceral fat is known as central obesity, the "pot belly" or "beer belly" effect, in which the abdomen protrudes excessively. This body type is also known as "apple shaped", as opposed to "pear shaped", in which fat is deposited on the hips and buttocks. From Wikipedia under the

I wasn't too worried at first since I'm obviously not pregnant and weight fluctuation in the past has made me have irregular periods. Last night and most of today, however, I've begun to have abdominal cramping. I'm pretty sure it's not constipation or gas, but I've taken rolaids and eaten fiber just to be sure. I'm 21 years old, 330 pounds, and 5' 9". I'm thinking my period may have stopped because of my weight and the fact I've undergone a new weight loss program recently. My insurance won't be reinstated until I register for grad school next month and the free clinic in my area wasn't much help, so I'm hoping to find some answers here.
