Disproportionate



Recommended Posts

So, I'm super excited about having lost close to 70 pounds, but I've noticed that the more weight I lose the more disproportionate I'm becoming. When I work out, I usually work out my core, and legs however it seems that I lose the most weight in my upper body. Right now I'm a 8/10 in shirts, but a 14/16 in pants. Weird huh?

Has that happened to anyone else? Am I just destined to be bottom heavy? Any workout suggestions?

Seems to work that way with me too. A few people have "warned" me about losing too much stating I look great now when I tell them I'm trying to drop another 70 pounds or so. It's true I have a "fairly" trim waste at 38" (compared to pre-op 52") but the backs of my thighs and calves are sure fat yet. I tend to lose it all over but not quite as much downstairs as upstairs.

Yes, I'm smaller up top than from the hips down. Some has come off, as my inner thighs are pretty flabby, but mostly it's been face, neck, arms, torso. I'm a Medium top but still a 16 pant. I read once that you lose in the reverse order that you gain, so the stuff that's been around the longest is the last to go--for me that will be hips and abdomen.

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
