Rib cage?

StephanieCanene

Does anyone else have a large rib cage? I know that might sound insane, but when I take pictures of my progress from a side view I can see my rib cage and it looks odd... even when I was 50 pounds heavier I could see my and feel my rib cage. When I was little people would call it my second set of boobs! Ha. funny, but odd looking.

Am I alone?

OMG! No! You are not alone. I feel totally the same way! They - like - stick out!! Drives me nuts! Every one elses seems flat. LOL

My ribs are large for my frame. But my fiance actually has what is called an inverted rib cage. Its not dangerous but the ribs go out a little bit more and then back in to connect to the sternum.

I can grab them and wrap my fingers around the other side, I feel like I could ripped them out if I try. I agree, it's weird. Glad I'm not a freak after all. :laugh:

AND!! That's where my fat is sticking too! Drives me insane! My tummy and ribs. Sheesh!

CasperO

Yep, a little. I also have a pronounced "outtie" at the bottom of my sternum. Pokes way out, looks a little wierd. Get sore if I sleep on it.

I can grab my ribs too... haha, it's gross! I always could, even when I was heavier. It's not like I'm an unhealthy weight or anything. Glad I'm not alone. Ha.

Mine too - and to boot I dont have much of a chest so when I lie down I look like I ahve a lower set of boobs pretty much the same size as the others!!! If only some of the fat on my backside would transfer to my boobs I might look balanced out!!! :sad:

I'm the same way too...all ribs. When I lost my first few pounds I looked like unhealthy in the ribs and chest. But my ribs like protrude out almost. I don't know it's weird. However I can't lose in my mid-section. The physiology of weight lost within our own bodies is so confusing. Just keep at it.

:laugh: I always had big boobs but now that I have lost weight they are so much smaller now. I even said something to a co-worker (I understand how hard it is to have big boobs) who didn't know me before my loss and she looked at me like I was crazy! :laugh: Nursing two kiddos and weight loss has made them flat!

Wow, I thought I was the only one; I've always blamed it for my flattish chest. I have a huge ribcage - like the poster above, even at 180lbs you could see my ribs!

I always thought I was alone too! large ribs sometime make it hard to find shirts that fit the top but aren't too big in the tummy

We should start a club....:) What should we call it????
"our second set of boobs club"?

Glad to know I am not the only one!

SayRah

Yup, I have 'em too. If I stretch out too much (and if I had some more defined abs, lol) I would look like a lego

jkohan

OK, this thread is useless without pics! LOL. I've noticed more that mine do too....weird!

ccg_corrin

you can fix 3 of my arms verticaly just on the side of my rib cage

Serenity79

Yeah, I've always thought I have HUGE ribs, lol!
