Any apple shaped women success stories out there?

If you are an apple shaped woman who has had success and been transformed, I would LOVE to see your before and after pics if you wouldn't mind sharing. I need the inspiration. Thank you in advance!

I am watching with interest. I am an apple shaped gal---all my extra weight is in my middle!! Great looking arms, legs, non existent butt, but 2o extra pounds hanging out in my belly!! All of the ladies on my Mom's side of the family look like this!!

Yep, I hold all my weight in the middle of my body. I have been successful at loosing 26 lbs and have 24 more to go before I re-evaluate. I have my before pix and my 26 lb pix posted. Don't' get discouraged, this is a slow process but it is necessary to keep at it. As I am loosing the weight, I find it frustrating that the middle isn't shrinking as quick as I'd like it to. But it is shrinking. MFP has really helped me stay accountable in all that I do, keep logging in and staying true. Feel free to friend me, I have a couple of friends on this site that are in the same boat. And we are all around the 50 year mark. Good luck.

Hello, I'm apple-shaped and always gain around the middle. I don't have before and after pix. Don't have much to lose but what I might tell you is that it could be easier for the apple-shaped to get muscle tone. At least it's been the case with me. The pear-shaped in my life abhor their thighs while I admire their teeny waists but go on about my arms and legs. I tend to obsess about my middle. Try to stay positive and take the advice about strength training to heart. Muscle burns fat! I'm not saying bulk up but don't obsess over cardio. Strength train!

Sorry, I don't have any before and after pics. But, I am an apple shape. I am finding that I can tone my mid section but the only way to really loss it is to loss weight. Then I get a bit too skinny in the legs.

I've also been looking for some inspirational "after" apples, and haven't had a ton of luck either. I am 100% apple -- broad shoulders, large bust, wide ribcage, lack of definition in waist, short torso, no bum, long skinny arms and legs. I know I'll never have that tiny hip to waist ratio that I lust for, but I'm determined to get some real ab definition with what I've got to work with! I'm on day 5 of the 30 Day Shred, and I have a body shot in my profile for those looking for a "normal" weight apple shape... If you've got more to lose, maybe I can still inspire you. Hopefully I'll have an even more inspiring one in 25 days!!

i'm an apple!! I dont have "after" photos yet, but my before are on my profile (red tank top photos) and my most recent photo is my profile one!

Down 44.6lbs so far. I still have a lot to lose around my middle, but it is much much smaller than it was!

Thanks guys! I am an apple as well, and my legs are really staring to tone and look nice, my belly looks 6 months pregnant.:(

I'm an apple - and 30lb down so far.
It can be done!
I've moved down several sizes but still have all the extra weight around my middle. I'm so looking forwards to not looking like an egg-cup!
Good luck - add me as a friend if you wish!

Hello my fellow Apples!!! :happy: I do not have before and after pics. I have lost 17 pounds since I started around the beginning of the year and 13 last month alone (when I decided to get serious about things -- I have a wedding in June). I have noticed my clothes starting to fit better and tone coming back to my legs.

Fellow apple peeps that are looking for support and will also dish it out in return, feel free to add me. It's always nice to have friends that have similar clothing issues.

I'm an apple. My before/after is my profile pic but just my face. I am not quite there yet with my body. Still another 20-30 lbs to go.

Good luck to you!

BUMP!!

True apple here... Tina Turner legs and a big round middle. Would love to see some pics of someone who's made it!!!!

You can look at my profile pics if you like, I only have one before, some in between and a recent one where I'm at Walmart, but I was 170 at my highest, (5'2") and now 123 (minus Spring break vacation gain of a pound or two, but I'm not counting it cause it will be gone again soon lol) The most challenging part still is trying to bulk up my legs and butt, while still trying to lose fat off my tummy, and I could still lose abit from my boobs too so I would be more properly proportioned. That's the worst part, not having it all balanced. I have stayed in the healthy weight range now for three years.

Here's me at 185-ish lbs (and a really bad photo):


And currently in the 160-somethings:

I think if we could mix the apple and pear body types together we'd all lose weight evenly. :laugh:

I'm not all the way there yet but feel free to check out the pics in my profile. My avatar is pretty current and there's one in there from right before I started losing weight a couple years ago.

Hello apple ladies!

I don't have before and after pictures .. yet. I will have some very soon that will be before and during photos. I'm an apple and I have lost over 100lbs. I will say this much, if I was a pear I would have been on lucky lady! For the longest time everywhere except my belly was moving at a great pace. FINALLY, I am now seeing that the majority of my weight is coming off the belly .. yay!

I should have some pictures at my next weigh-in next Monday!
