Shorties (5'3 and under) where do you gain your weight?
Replies

I'm 4'11. I gain in my stomach and thighs.0

Thighs and gut is the last to go and first to gain. Boobs always the first to go.0
-
Definitely my lower tummy area...I get the pouch haha and love handles. It's so annoying because when I gain a lot of weight I feel like I can't just wear a simple t-shirt because my stomach looks horrible under it!
That's sooooo me! I look like I have a crumpled up paper bag under my shirt.0 -
5'3 I gain weight in my arms, thighs, belly and butt. I already have a big back side, but it gets really huge when I gain weight.0

This. I'm 5' 2". I feel like I gain somewhat all over, but mostly belly and thighs.0 -
My weight is always predominantly in my tummy to the point where I look pregnant. Now, yes, I gain weight all over, but the bulk of it is belly. Is that a shorty thing? Or do you gain your weight elsewhere?
I think its more of a body type thing. for example, im not short ( 5"5) but i also gain in my tummy. I have never been overweight or anything but when i was not working out any weight i gained was in my lower stomach and boobs . thoes are really the only places i gain fat the most0 -
5'1 here I hold most of my weight in my hips, butt and thighs. But I've recently started gaining in my stomach probably because my bottom is so big!0

I gain weight in my middle - belly and love handles. I'm 4'11"0

Belly, boobs and hips.0

Stomach, *kitten* and back fat, woo-hoo.0

I used to gain all over, especially butt. Now, my butt is small, but I still have a tummy below the waist, my "menoopot."0
-
They all go to my boobies.0

Mine seems to be belly and breasts. I am 5'3, 148lbs. When I was at 171 I was in a 38DD. Now I am in a 36DD and think that when I lose more I will have to go down to a 36D. The darn belly is the hardest place to lose I think.0
-
Lower belly and hips. Then boobs. Then arms, face, and thighs. My poor butt never gets any.0
-
Belly, hips and thighs. And of course, those are the places that take the longest to reduce. Cruel, cruel world :sad:0
-
stomach and arms0
-
In my FACE and thighs. My upper stomach is always pretty flat, it's the lower area..0
-
I'm 5' and this last time I gained weight it all went to my stomach and my face. When I am completely inactive my butt goes flat and I get bloated through my entire stomach. My arms and legs have gained some too but no where near as much.0
-
I am an apple shape -- the bulk of my weight is on my belly and my arms. The excess weight definitely does *not* distribute itself in a flattering way at all!
So, if I'm ever bloated, I look especially pregnant (even though I am not)... I've even had people ask me how far along I am.
It's super depressing, but it's also not something anyone should ever ask!
Oh, and for reference, I am 5'1".0 -
I'm 5'3 and mine evenly distributes everywhere - face, legs, tummy.0
