Calling All Apples... :)

Rilzy

I know that Apples tend to have a major issue with the abdominal and hip area when losing weight. Does anyone have any photos of before and after? I need motivation!

Hey, I'm not sure if you've seen this by now, but here is a previous thread on this topic that received a GANG of responses -- good before/after pics -- if you're interested: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/779683--apple-shaped-women-before-afters?hl=apple+before+after.

I have posted these elsewhere but as I am an apple I will post them here.
Keep in mind you can get much better results- I am quite old

It is a 30 lbs difference from the left to the right picture.
Start weight 130 at 5'1, to maintenance of 100-105.




This one is all at maintenance. The difference over the 3 years is getting more serious about resistance training then weight lifting. Still working on it.




Cheers, h.

ETA. My apple is one of those that my belly button gets hidden in the crease at my waist between my top tummy and bottom tummy. AKA a B belly.

I thought body types is a myth and that it has been debunked?

The body types that have been debunked are the '*morphs'.

Apple, pear, etc are simplified descriptors for the genetic predisposition of fat deposits.
I haven't heard that this is debunked, am willing to be corrected though.
