Calling all "apples"

Hey all you folks who have lost a lot of weight. I am wondering how fat loss was for the "apple" shaped folks. I am a classic "apple" with a large omentum (internal body fat in the abdominal cavity). Even when I was normal weight, I didn't have a waist.

So, did the weight come off from your abdomen first, last, or at the same time as everywhere else. If you were a big, round apple, do you now have a "normal" waist, or is your waist still bigger than it should be.

If you feel like sharing, how big was your waist (measured at belly button) when you started and how big is it now?

Hee hee. Because my stomach is bigger than my hips, I've had my underwear fall off - once in a parking lot and once standing at a vending machine! That's a conversation starter. Apples unite!!!!!

I have only lost 15 pounds but I think it was mosltly around my waist. It went from 52 to 48. But my big belly and waist has always been my worst problem as far as clothes fitting. It will be interesting to see where I lose if I EVER start.

FOOFY-

I had long leg, no butt and a muffin top. Two weeks ago had extended tummy tuck, butt lift and fat lipo from my back added to my butt. I also had a breast lift with small implants. I feel great and for the first time in 20 years I have a flat belly!!

Even when you lose all your weight sometimes you still not fit your skin any more.

Good Luck
