It used to be kinda all over but since mp it has all moved around in the front between my breast area and legs - doctor said that's normal. Yuckkkk! Why does my body need to protect those child-bearing parts now???

Hello everyone - i just joined today. I carry my weight all over. There is a song we sing at my church. It's all over me. Well, that's me when it comes to my weight. . But I'm ready to get started to create a new me.

Hi Everyone,
My gym coach told me I am well proportioned(evenly distributed) however, I feel I have the extra padding around the waist and back area. It drives me crazy. I never had this problem before MP and I am sure that the weight left my lower body and moved right up to the top. Gotta love that MP.

My weight is in my hips & big thighs....my stomach is big but I don't think there is much I can do...because I had 3 surgeries...no stomach muscles left...oh well...it could be worse

I am happy with how it is distributed now; I left all the excess in embarrassing old photos and bad memories.

I was the "pumpkin", but now I'm an acorn squash cuz I have dents in the middle!
Usually I have a hard time losing the belly, and time will tell, but I've lost 3" from it so far!!! and 4+ from my waist (which was nonexistent before Spark!) I've concentrated on core exercises which seems to help, and am hoping my back will be the beneficiary of renewed strength.

I use to look like a triangle, but now I look more like an apple. Seems everything shifted up - is that possible?

Apple. BUlk of my excess is def. in my belly area.

But "hate" is too strong a word. I don't hate myself nor any part of me. I don't even dislike it. I don't LOVE it, but I don't dislike it.

It's more like I've been indifferent to taking care of my body and my fitness and I'm trying to overcome that indifference.

Hips, thighs, calves and behind! When my sisters and I were young some of the "neighbor boys" nicknamed us appropriately the "butt sisters", cruel but totally true.

I'd like to carry it to some poor starving child (the one in China that we had to clean our plates for). In fact the only part of me that is skinny is my feet and head.

I think I was an apple that's turning into a pear!! My waist has finally gotten smaller, but my hips are stubborn!

Good morning all, my weight is pretty evenly spread out with more in the "belly". I also have extra (I hope) weight in the upper area and look top heavy. The top heavy weight is what I would most like to be rid of, it gets in the way of lots of exercises and especially stretches. I'll just keep working and hoping this area is the first to go instead of the last.LOL

Most of my weight is around the middle. I just can't get rid of the 'belly'.

Are you an apple or pear or what????

I would tend to be more of a pear. I do carry my weight pretty even,tho. Noone ever thinks I weigh as much as I do, because I am so solid.

How about you?? What do you hate about your shape?
I hate the upper arms!!!!!
