    EDIT -- I deleted my fix since she deleted the post. Wasn't sure if she wanted the photos up anymore!

    I am definately apple-shaped with big boobs, round stomach, and a less than round behind!

    I hadn't realised you fixed them, sorry. I deleted the post as it seems silly having it there when no one can see the pics!

    I'm so happy to find other apples! I too always feel alone. I hope I'm not overstepping... I started a group for apple shapes. I invited lots of you already, but with four pages in the thread didn't get to everyone. You are all welcome, us apples need to hang together. Here's the group: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/4640-apple-orchard

    You went from 436 down to 181! :drinker:
    That's a success story if I ever heard one.

    Congratulations!

    I never thought of myself as an apple but I AM! I feel like an upside down pear. I am 130lbs, and can't seem to lose just 10 lbs! No butt (as someone else on here mentioned), 36D (per a Victoria Secret measurement yesterday---ugh!) and a flabby belly.
    I asked a phy assistant who was rounding (and also owns a GYM) what I can do. She said watch my diet closely (she rarely does dairy, does very low carbs...) and heavy weights. She also said I wouldn't bulk up, as I don't have much testosterone to bulk up like men do.
    So that's my goal, diet and heavy weights and since I read on here, Ill do the 30 day shred, too. Thanks everyone!

    I'm an apple, I think. I have broad shoulders, huge midsection w/ no curves, skinny arms and legs w/ no behind.

    Me at my heaviest 275

    Now at 210 (-65 lbs)

    I'm just now starting to tackle my midsection. It's been a bit of a battle.

    I am an apple and will be looking in on this thread for inspiration.
    Sexy legs, but yep, shopping for pants--they assume that if your waist is that large, your legs must be HUUUUUGE.

    I am not a true apple, I'm very apple like when I get very heavy (though I still have a big butt, big thighs and huge calves, my stomach is just predominant), but as I get smaller I get more hourglass shape like the rest of my family.

    These pictures are old, they are from the first time I lost weight: The first pic I am 260lbs (Dec 2004), the second I am about 150lbs (Dec 2005)

    I don't want to start a photobucket to upload the pictures to the forum (I'm sure there is an easier way) but if you check my profile they are there, if you need to add me to see them, I will add you. They are the two photos that are not my profile pic (duh!)

    Edited to add: Sorry about my hair in both pics! It was before I got an idea how to handle my hair, and I was doing the pics for my own use so I didn't bother to do my hair in the "after" photos.

    I am also an apple. I lost 70 lbs before and got sooooo discouraged because pretty much none of it was from my waist! So I ended up gaining it all back. I am trying to lose it again but this time without diet pills as quick fixes. I'll need all the motivation I can get! I have huge arms, broad shoulders and I'm really little like 5'2" large breasts and enough belly fat for 3 ppl :(

    It does feel good to see people with similar body shape as me lose weight and have success.

    Just a friendly pear stopping by to say hello to you all, and let you all know that I am in fact insanely jealous of your legs!

    Believe me, having no boobs and a small upper frame with large hips and huge thighs and calves is not a pretty look!

    You can check my profile for tummy progress pics... They show a 40 lb weight loss, I'm currently at about a 50 lb loss but haven't taken pics recently (too scared lol)

    Went from hour glass shape to apple after my kids were born, nothing short of being thin will change it I think. My pants are a size 18 everywhere but my tummy.
