female only Body Shape Changes

[Lissa 2,631]

I'm not sure if this goes here or in Fitness, but here we go:

Some areas of my body (tummy) aren't moving much at all as far as shrinking. I know, I know, tummy is the last to go. However, I'm noticing major changes in other areas, like my butt and hips. I used to be fairly bottom-heavy and now I'm more in proportion, except for that darn tummy.

Has anyone else changed from a pear to an apple shapewise?

I haven't changed shape that dramatically, but I did notice that I lost in stages. I know they say that you lose evenly all over... but... yeah, that didn't seem to happen with me. My stomach also loses slower than anywhere else. At the stage i'm at now, my stomach skin also hinders my shape. I swear if it was gone i'd be at least a size smaller. I should also note that I was never bottom-heavy. I was always pretty much in proportion.

Emily, I can truly say I have outside verification that I was/am bottom heavy. When I worked in a prison, one of the inmates got in huge trouble for blurting out that I "have a ghetto onion". Of course, his comments didn't stop there, so I pretty much knew he thought my bootay was amazing (and huge). Now I'm not sure what you'd call it, but my tush isn't as plush as it was before!

Ya, my bag o' wet laundry in the front is holding on a little more than i'd like it to. I carried twins, so it's just not pretty. My butt is shrinking faster than the belly for sure. :/

I am pear shaped and besides the back fat roll all I have left is my tummy. My trainer told me only heavy duty cardio will get that sucker down. And that's what your doing so keep it up I guess.

a ghetto onion! oh, I LOVE that!

I have post-baby/c-section, stretch marked stomach but it is getting smaller at least. I want my back fat gone more than anything and I'm sure it'll hang on to the bitter end...

Lissa,

I have definately changed shape... I was a typical pear all through my teens and early twenties... then on came to extra weight, but I was still an overall pear. Now, I am defo an apple... I don't like it either ... lol... I don't like how my tummy hangs! There is still a little fat there, but the skin has just given up, I too would be at least a size smaller if it was gone, just gotta save up for a TT!!

I was a MAJOR textbook APPLE...Now I am DELIGHTFULLY becoming PEAR shape. My poor boobs have taken a hit, and are much smaller and deflated now, but I always wished I was pear shaped, and now I am!!!

I was a thick hourglass and now they have switched! I am now an apple and I hate it! My fiance saw me the other day, we live 8 hours apart right now and see each other every month or so, and commented on how good I looked but was sad about my butt being gone. I am too lol My pants sag!

I have been wanting to ask this question. I am an apple that suffers from no-ass-at-all syndrome. I've always said that it is so ridiculous for me to be this big and not have big boobs or a nice booty. Anyway, I am hoping and praying that exercise will help me sculpt a new shaped body. I would LOVE to finally be curvy.

My trainer has told me that for burning belly fat especially, it will be very important to do cardio, in that critical fat burning zone, for as long as possible. I tend to stay in cardio zone, so I need to work on this.

What is a apple?

[WhoozisAnyway 176]

I've noticed the same thing! I've always been an hourglass with my weight in my boobs, hips, butt and thighs. While I still have tons of all those parts, my body is definitely becoming more proportional from exercising. I've gone from a 40DD to 36DD, losing band but not cup size (that's a first). My butt is disappearing rapidly and hip size is way down, but it looks like belly and thighs will be the last to go.

when you carry you weight around the middle. think of how an apple is shaped versus a pear or a coke bottle

Anybody else find it funny how we describe the shape of our bodies by referring to foods?

[Piplula 709]

Yes..I have always had an hour glass shape but my behind was wayore unportionately larger..I have loss a lot of my "shelf" in the back..and my stomach looks or appears to remain the same
