    I'm sorry I can't relate being pear-shaped but if it makes you guys feel any better, I'm extremely jealous that you apples always have skinny legs!!

    I'm 31, 5'9, mother of 3, and started MFP at 180 lbs in February. I've lost 24 pounds since. The first 20 came off in 5 months and since then, it's been a pound here, a pound there. I started doing just cardio (elliptical/Turbo Jam) for an hour a day/ 5 days a week. I started 30 Day Shred/strength training for 30 minutes a day/5 days a week WITH 30 minutes of cardio/5days a week to get more weight/inches off after being stuck on a plateau for a month or two. Total time I spend is 1 hour of exercise, 5 days a week. And I've lost inches and 4 more pounds and I have a WAIST now! I have changed my apple shape, it CAN be done! You might not notice until you are closer to your ideal weight/healthy BMI, in my opinion.

    Oh and of course, everytime I eat under/at my calorie goal consistently and eat healthy/clean calories I see a jump. If I had stuck more consistently to my calorie goal everyday, I know I would weigh even less now. I struggle more with eating healthy than getting my workouts in.

    Thats awesome.Congrats to you !!!

    I am 18 weeks PP and wanting to do the 30 DS for a while. Is it easy on the knees? What cardio do you do?

    you look wonderful & I am going to start lifting heavy too.
    I am at 133 with a 33 inch waist. (huge)
    I tried everything, absolutely everything and I still had a disproportionately large belly. Then I found heavy lifting, and it really has gone. I've opened up my profile temporarily - there are some 'before and after lifting pics there - hope you can see the difference.

    What exactly is heavy lifting? Do I need machines to achieve this? Also, I notice us apples look younger than we are. Must be our filler chub in our faces ;)
