Any apple shaped women success stories out there?

I'm apple-shaped when I'm heavy. I'm 5'8.

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!

Very true. I only lost about 20lbs, but I went from a size 14 to a size 6. Strength training is one of the best ways to shape your body!

I'm apple shape and I have lost over 50 pounds, I have lost everywhere but in my stomach!

Another apple shape here! I have lost weight and inches in arms, legs and thighs. My whole body is definitely toning but I haven't lost a single inch or even half an inch in my stomach! It is so frustrating but will keep pushing forward. Just started strength training a week ago and hoping that this helps.

The oddest thing is that my stomach looks flatter and clothes look better but when measured it is still the same. Anyone else have this issue?

Yes. You will see the pounds come off slower, but my waist has whittled down and I am losing inches all over in combination with Cardio Military Drills I am doing with my friend at the gym such as dreaded BURPEES!!!!!

Try KettleBells! Shred it w/Weights Jillian Michaels is a good start.

Woohoo! Apples in the house!

I hate finding jeans that fit my legs and then they are way to tight for my waist or vice versa - ahhhhhhh!
