Where are the apple shapes?!

[Fiddleman 4,376]

Not too many guy responses, so I'll put in my two cents. I have been an apple shape most of my life. Even after losing the weight, I was still a smaller apple. However, after a few months of focused strength training, I am getting the triangle athletic shape of broad shoulders, big delts, lats and narrow waist. It is possible to change your fundamental shape with the right type of strength training. It takes a lot of focus, high intensity and consistently showing up to workouts though.

I was pretty much an apple with huge legs at 335 Now at 256 I'm shaped like a coke bottle/pear still with huge legs... Stomach has been the first to go. waist has gone from a 53 to a 42 and hips has gone from 58 to 50 bust has gone from 53 to 48

You look great! Thx for sharing

Apple shape here. Down 65lbs and not looking so round. The pic is a month old so I will post updated pics when I take them this weekend.

You look great and so much healthier. Way to go!

Total apple here! Very frustrating to see other less fat body parts shrinking and my big belly still ever present. I have to keep in mind that no matter what I'm healthier than I was and that I'll never have a small tummy... But I will be able to rock cute clothes and live longer!!!

I'm an apple currently, but I'm more naturally a pear when my weight is lower - I always carried the most weight in my hips and thighs. Here's to hopefully becoming a pear again, if I can't miraculously become perfectly proportioned

I'm the same.. I lost my pear shape at somewhere around 300... my upper abdomen is still much larger than it was when I was at my current weight previously (15 years ago) but the pear is definitely coming back.

I'm an apple too. Lost in my boobs first and have one less chin now. Surgery May 8th down 32lbs. I used to wear my hair really short, but weight gain made me look like a bowling pin! Will cut my hair when I lose the weight.

Another apple shape here, which is the most unhealthy body type. Puts you at greater risk for cardiovascular disease, strokes, and metabolic disorders. All my fat is in the middle and my boobies. Lol. I was once told by a cousin I looked like a potato with toothpicks for arms and legs. I also have that noassatall disease. So my pants all have to be big to fit my belly and that makes them way to Baggie in the legs and a**. Have such a hard time finding pants. I am 5'2 an weigh right at 200 lbs. I am STILL pre op. some days it seems like that is taking FOREVER.....anyway I am so ready to get this weight off and be healthy again.

When I weighed 248 a few years ago, I wore maternity jeans and shorts. They aren;t like fat lady clothes", they're cute and trendy, bigger around the belly and smaller in the butt and legs. And oh so comfy. Of course my husband didn't even know I wore maternity clothes!

I was a complete apple. I looked pregnant - I am not kidding. I was a tight tight size 16 before surgery. Today I am comfortably in 2s and 4s. I don't have the "apple" shape anymore - and hope I never will! I am SO HAPPY that I had this surgery when I did. I am short (5'3") and my original personal goal was 120 lbs. I have lowered that goal to 115 lbs but wonder if that might be pushing it a bit. I have had a few stalls but have just stayed on track. I love my new shape - my tummy is not flat but I am planning on fixing that soon!

im 5'2" I want to be 115 120
