    Same thing with me. I lost over 50 pounds before I started to see a small difference in my belly. I'm up to 72 lost now and it's really been lately that I'm really starting to see my stomach get smaller. Still have a long ways to go, but at least it's finally getting smaller.

    Before I had kids 13 years ago, I was honestly more of a pear.

    Post 2 huge babies and brutal c sections- total apple. Legs were the first place to spring back in this process. Last place to shape up and lose weight is 100% my midsection too. I SO feel your pain

    I am about half way there, though waist is finally starting to taper in thanks to many o' side planks.

    This was October progress...

    7 inches on the waist is a LOT. COngrats. I wish I had taken measurements....
    I wouldn't even describe my physique as an apple..more like a meatball on a stick! I feel like most of the weight I have lost is from my face/neck and butt/legs. It's frustrating when you just want the belly to go away. According to my measurements I have lost 7 inches on my waist, so that is super encouraging. I have only gone down from size 24 to an 18 though.. First pic is from 3 years ago when I was at my heaviest.. 310. I am down 85 pounds from that in the other pics.

    I am still very much a work in progress and have lost about 6 pounds these were taken, but this is what a 15-pound loss looked like on my apple shape. I don't look too much like an apple any longer, I would like to think I look more like an hourglass now. I ate slightly above my BMR and took up weight training. That's how I did it :)

    I'm 5'5''

    you lost only from your belly. Good Job

    I'm apple shaped and I do not like it at all! Right now I weigh 262 and I'm hoping to lose around 100 pounds. Looking at these transformations really inspire me! Hopefully now I can get the ball a rollin'!

    I would really appreciate if the other apple shaped women would befriend me and tell me what I should expect as I start to lose weight.
