what's your body shape? and where do you lose?

[carbless_in_seattle]

Just wondering if this is fairly consistant, and thought it might make an interesting thread.

I'm a pear/triangle shape, and I lose fat first and foremost in my stomach and butt.

have the hardest time with upper arms, love handles, inner thighs, and above the knee.

I suppose I would be classified as an apple (but I prefer meatball on this WOE!) with all the weight around the middle/abdominal area. The most frustrating part about losing while still at a relatively high weight is that I seem to lose proportionately all over so that you don't really see a change in my overall appearance -- I'm just a smaller clone of the old me!

I'm the basic hourglass shape with very little hips and butt and big thighs and lower legs and ankles. Okay, my 'shape' defies description! I lose first in my face, butt and tummy. I don't mind the face and tummy, but I don't have a butt to start with, so it gets even more painful to sit on hard chairs. I recently had to have a second breast reduction to get rid of the top part of the hourglass. Dumb man doctor still left me with way too much.

Sunny!

I am actually built like a fridge... at my heaviest I was like a barel on sausages, now I am getting some shape, a touch of a smaller waist. I have always had a large midsection, but I seem to be losing proportionally. I am however pretty close to walking around on pencils. I have lost alot of fat on my legs in exchange for muscle.

I learned a long time ago that one theory of loss on Atkins is that the weight comes off in layers... and that is definitely true in my case. I can't wait to be at a weight where I can really see the efforts of my weight training and where I can then focus on sculpting.

Kathy, that's very interesting! I would love to hear or read more about that! What exactly did they mean by layers? Glad to hear you're doing so well!


I am an hourglass shape, but I've got a behind like a rhino. I tend to lose weight first in my face then my tummy, however this time around my breasts seem to be doing quite the disappearing number on me-- Sunny, maybe you and I can do some kind of trade off? LOL!

I am an hourglass, but am tall (5'11) and fat lol. My weight sits mainly around my middle straight around to the hips. This is the crappy part because I do have a butt...you just can't tell when I'm at a high weight because my hips are bigger! How annoying. Anyway when I first lost weight it came off in the same order that it showed up in. I lose in my face first and around my middle and arms. But that last stubborn belly fat seems to be the very last step before I actually fall over and croak. I'm getting there though!!

I think i'm hourglass.... i'm pretty proportioned, big tata's, thick middle & legs,not much of a butt, but i guess i got some hips.. when i lose i lose a lil all over not really all in one spot at first which makes it hard bc i dont feel like i losing bc to me i look the same. BUt this time around ppl have told me they could tell in my arms and face... but can the tummy go away.... i think i'm losing the girls too but i could stand to lose a lil.

I am somewhere there around the circle - diamond area. Short with chunky legs.
I probably have lost most around the middle - I think I have a waist now and some of my behind is gone (for good I hope). I am down in pant size. My legs are still chunky and I have virtually lost nothing in the chest area. My tummy may be somewhat reduced but still sticking out. There are still a couple of rolls on my back.
Oh well.
