    Sometimes I feel like a pineapple from head to toe. I'm sure I'm an apple. I gain in my whole mid section and upper arms. It's also the last to go. I can't wait until I have some awesome before/after pics to post. Right now I am camera shy.

    Everyone who posted pics looks amazing. This has been inspiring.

    Apple shape is a person who carries their weight up top like shoulders are broad and hips are narrow or non ex distant. Apples are often refers to as shaped like a man. Your not an apple. I just don't see it.

    I'm not shaped like a fruit. I'm more like a coke bottle.

    I've lost 85 pounds over the past year. When I lose weight, I lose it EVERYWHERE except my stomach... :( My legs are thin, my arms are thin, I have no butt. :) I weigh 136 now (5'6") and I still feel that I'm fat because I still do have the belly. It's shrunk -- but it's still there. I'm not sure that I can lose it.

    Here is a picture taken about a year ago. I was good at hiding my stomach...

    This is a picture of me about a month ago at a wedding. Like lady_jessi, I look good in clothes and feel that I have lost enough weight but when I take them off -- not so anymore. :( -- sorry about the squinting....

    Hi :)

    I have PCOS and therefore have a terrible tendency to store around the middle.

    16 stone (224lb) to just over 10 stone (142lb).

    Hey Ladies,
    I've always had the curse of the "apple" shape body type, or rather, my weight tends to stick more around my stomach and torso than anywhere else. Never quite understood why we had to name our bodies after fruit, but I digress. I'd really love to see your before & afters if you had a similar body type! I need some inspiration to get going.

    I was the human apple...now Im a Celery stalk! Gotta love it! :blushing:
