AllllLlLlLlLllllll my excess weight is in my thighs and tummy, I want to know your experiences of getting to a good BF% for toned thighs and stomach?! Some mornings I'll wake up with a flat stomach if I flex but when I sit I have rolls

    I know right! Like I'm still losing and at a deficit but it's ridiculous how big my stomach still is

    All in my hips and stomach. Lol I lose weight everywhere else first and then stomach last.

    Same issue here, along with jeans that only just do up around the waist but hang off my butt. Only solution is to get to a normal body fat %. All the core etc exercises in the world won't help with how it looks until the fat is gone. For me that doesn't really start happening until I get down to losing the last few kgs before goal.

    I have tightened my belt a notch, but it's gone from my face first.

    Always a losing battle. Not helped by knackered abs.

    Have been down to BMI 22 before, btw. Still had a gut - and less of an *kitten*, in proportion, than at BMI27

    34-31-33 here. Bleh. As I lose weight, I find my thighs appear more and more monstrous in relation to the rest of my body when I look in the mirror. I'm sure a certain amount of it is body dysmorphia(sp?)--I have always hated my giant thighs--but at least I have some good definition these days, instead of them looking like formless slabs of donair meat on the spit.

    Apple shaped women usually have slimmer hips and thighs, not larger ones. Some of the best legs belong to apple shaped ladies. Simply the best:

    I tend toward an apple shape when heavy and then ruler-ish when at a healthy weight. I'm still working on losing the stomach but my legs are pretty lean.

    Hmmmm well regardless I feel like my topic is less offensive than saying "where my large bellied ladies at?" Lol
