Body asymmetry

This thread came up when I did a google search: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/226706-one-side-of-body-fatter-than-the-other-side

I'm just wondering if you have noticed one side of your body being slightly larger than the other and if weight loss has helped even things out. (Especially the last bit of weight loss.)

    A couple of years ago, after hesitantly taking my first "before" pics, I noticed that I seemed to list to one side. Now, I don't know if it's the same thing... though it likely means that I was carrying more weight on one side, and compensating... It did even out a bit as I lost weight (and unfortunately came back as "found" what was once lost... at least some of it). I hope it'll square me up for good this time as I shed

    I've noticed my belly button isn't in the middle any more..hoping that when i eventually lose the extra weight I'm carrying it will go back central .. its definitely bigger on one side than the other ..like many other things on our bodies.. lol

    Yeah. I do realize our bodies aren't perfectly symmetrical but I seriously think the left side of my body has more fat. I'm hoping as my BF% goes down maybe the fat will disappear or at least even out. It's my ribs, my hips and my stomach...well that's what I've noticed anyway.

    I have asymmetrical breasts. Weight loss has helped even the girls out a lot.

    My right side looks a lot bigger than my left, but that's mostly to do with my scoliosis and the fact that my ribcage is deformed (and actually is thinner on one side). It does make me look "fatter" on one side though :/

    Body asymmetry means your one part of body is growing larger then the other and it is not perfect, it was research by scientist that it is a physical disorder of our body and usually happens due to situs inversus and it occurs in many people, it is srange condition that how one part our body is larger then the other.

    It is strange but like I said, I'm hoping with enough weight loss it will lessen.
