Disproportionate



Recommended Posts

I have a question for any of you out there that are near your goal weight. Did your weight come off evenly or was there an area that took longer to catch up with the rest of your body? Ive been successful in losing a significant amount everywhere but in my torso area and i feel i look so disproportionate.

I think that happens to many people- in particular - women. My lower body is lagging behind my upper body by 2 sizes. Its very frustrating to see ribs but have a huge ass still

hang in there!

Yes, if I lose any more weight in my face and butt I dont know what Im going to do. My butt is so flat now. This is not good. For once having a big butt is looked at as a good thing and I have lost the little bit I had. Im ok with it though I prefer it to be flat instead of big and flat. Now if only the weight would come off of my midsection more.

losingjusme, I could have written that. I don't really consider myself near goal, I still have between 40 and 70 ;) lbs to lose, depending on which guideline I look at. But...

...in tops I'm a mix of 14/16 (sometimes perfect, sometimes snug) and 18/20 (sometimes perfect, sometimes too big). On bottoms... crikey. Usually a 20 or 22. I don't know how the new LB sizing converts to standard, but in their new jeans I can get a 2 on but that's about it. 3 fits nicely. (1 pair of sz 2 fit, but all I've tried since have been really tight).

Woohoo, in pictures from the waist up, I almost look normal!! :heh:

I will add, my specifc problem area is my hips/saddlebags and upper thighs. My stomach is still big, but it's very droopy.

sounds like we are size twins...

my pannus is the problem with my bottoms. still rather full of fat, not really 'droopy'. i'm hoping that upping my cardio to 'extremely intense' (once i figure what that will be) will help wipe the fat away (LMAO - yeah, whatever)...

if not, i am still seriously considering a panniculectomy ... but who knows. that wont fix my single 'roll' between the girls and my pannus ... ;)

When I got down to overweight/top end of a healthy BMI I looked a bit bigger that the bottom than the top (hips and thighs mostly). When I lost a little more weight, I evened out, and I look pretty proportionate now.

Mine is in reverse!!! I can wear a 12 or 14 on bottom, and still require minimally a 20 on top! I have lost my "back boobs"---and my bra band has dropped several sizes---but the cup size has actually increased. I also tend to buy tops big to get the length to cover my belly, which is my biggest problem, all the extra skin, still some fat in there too!!!

My legs---I am thrilled with! My butt, is a bit deflated, but is ok overall, not a lot of saggy skin or anything, but boy from there up it is not a pretty picture!!! Looking at a possible TT early 2008. I had scheduled my appointments for consultations, then this damn thyroid thing come up, and not knowing what kind of treatment I was looking at, things kind of stalled. Now they don't want me doing anything until they get me levelled again---with hormone supplement. So will have to wait and see when it gets done. When the belly is gone, I am afraid, the girls will look way too big, and way too low!!! I was afraid I was going to go from a DD to a Long---now I know I will need a long DD!!!

losingjusme-you will have to get a full tummy tuck!!. some insurance companies will pay for the panni,(that fat at the bottom) but you still have the top area to deal with. might as well get the full one.

I just did my measurements yesterday, and amazingly, I lost 18 inches EXACTLY each from my chest AND waist AND hips. That's pretty damn proportionate, I'd say!

I am more top heavy than bottom. My bottom area was never as big as my body should have made it. I have always had a non-existant butt.. and chicken legs. And then a whole bunch of bellies and flabby arms.

Now as I lose weight, it seems my top is trying to catch up with my bottom. I could stand to lose some weight my thighs though, and a mons lift sounds lovely. I pull mine up every once in a while to see what it 'should' look like lol.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
