"B" belly success?

snowbune27

Ok, now I am just getting depressed!! So there's no hope for us? We are doooooomed? I am holding out for more success stories!!!

I think were doomed! lol



Thank you for all the reply's everyone! I still hope someone has a good success with it!

I don't know if it's a matter of success story or not; I think it's just the way our bodies are built. I've never been truly too much overweight. My weight fluctuates between 10-20 pounds... but my BMI is always between the middle to high normal range to give you an idea, and my belly still goes out under my belly button (I just happen to have a smaller waist).

we're just BORN THAT WAY!

Thank you so much for all your replys and who posted pictures! I guess we just need to all keep working hard to get rid of it and (for me) as long as it at least gets smaller then i'll learn to deal with it lol.

I have a B belly. When I lost the 150 pounds last year I ended up with loose belly flab at the bottom and the top looked ok but when I got pregnant the bottom part would pop out first til I was roughly 30 weeks then it all evened out and you could def tell I was pregnant and not just fat. I'm gonna need skin removal when I reach my goal. I have loose skin in my thighs, lower tummy, and upper arms. Having a B shaped belly has helped me not look so big. It has had its advantages and disadvantages. I really want a flat tummy and I am willing to save up the money to get a body lift.

Here, I'll help out those who don't know what a B belly is. Here are 2 pictures. The first is a B belly, and the second is a D belly.

So one of these is more coveted than the other? I'm confused. :ohwell:

Not really. Neither is a COVETED thing. It's just that those with the D belly tend to flatten out, whereas those with the B belly tend to still maintain those curves and are never truly flat.

Sometimes I wish people would be able to just love their bodies for what they do. I've seen some very attractive women and even artist renditions of the B belly on a "fit person". If your fit and healthy and someone loves you, who cares. We all have more substance than that.

I had a huge B belly. The bottom of the B hung low and I have stretch marks around my hips and bellybutton. My belly was so big, for a while even after losing a good amount of weight, I didn't really have a waist. The belly's gotten much smaller, the top bump of the B is significantly smaller now, if I continue to lose weight and tone, the top bump will soon be gone and I will just have to deal with my lower belly pooch. But I'm much happier with how it is now, for me, the potential of left over skin from weightless far outweighs the health risks and psychological effects of being obese had on me.

I am 110lbs now and still my belly is a huge B and fat just refuses to go from there. I am just going to keep on working out and hope it will go away one day. Keep the success stories and pics coming ladies. I need some motivation!

I just went to the restroom to check...and yes it is definitely a B belly. I just always looked at it as the hour glass shape of my body. Mine has no doubt gone down a lot and I hope will continue to decrease as I lose more weight.
Good luck to everyone...hope we all get the I belly we want.

I have more of a slight "W" belly.

I think I had a "w" belly that's now a "B" belly. Making progress.

I am so glad this thread was revived.
I am a B belly and it drives me crazy. Even at my goal weight it bloops over waistbands.
I always referred to it as my top tummy and bottom tummy and couldn't figure out why I had it, and others didn't.
Just ran to the bathroom to slap on a swimsuit and take these.
I am at my goal weight but need some time in the gym.

Before 130lb



After 101lb






I am hoping to improve it by March.
Cheers, h.

i have a b belly which worsened since having 3 kids. now its a b belly with a mummy apron which is a combo of lose skin and fat. not cool. im glad now its starting to shrink i can feel the muscle underneath but its flabby over

I've lost about 85 pounds (somewhere in the 290s to 205 now), and I still have a B. I had a kid five years ago, which contributes, but my lower half is... more pliable, I suppose. And the top half is smaller. Overall, I fit fine into clothes and like the way I look, B belly and all.

That said, when I'm feeling really down on myself, I tell myself that my belly button looks like a Shar Pei because of the way I've lost fat there. XD

i have it, and while the top 'hump' of the 'b' has flattened out some, the bottom bump is still a problem.

^^This. The lower hump is getting all loose and flabby but the upper is getting smaller. But I considered it a problem at every weight, not just highest and lowest.
