    Most of my life, lol.
    Even as I lose weight, the boob-belly ratio stays the same. Drives me nuts at times.
    Hope one day I will lose that belly fat for good!

    All my life. My belly is the first place I gain, last place to lose if it at all. Even before I had my son, all i see when i look down is my tummy (my legs have gotten smaller, even my boobs have gotten smaller, and my arms everything is shrinking, minusing tummy), so I tend to wear bigger clothes to cover it up.

    Welcome to my world. I lost sight of my waist with my first child 37 yeas ago. She was 10lbs at birth. I ve lost weight over the years, but that stomach is still there and the boobs and stomach are in a race...sometime the boobs win and other times the stomach. At the moment the boobs are leading...LOL:laugh: ...but I'm 57 and all I want is to be healthy. By-the-way, I sew and I never would have made that statement to a customer...I LOVE READING ALL THE COMMENTS

    The saleslady was quite rude and incorrect....I am by no means small on top and my stomach is indeed larger. Looking forward to the day that is no longer true

    I am sorry you had to experience this. I also carry most my weight in my stomach and boy does it stick out.

    I get asked at least twice a month when I am due...I also am not pregnant!

    For me this is how my weight is distrubted...I have noticed a difference in my clothes for sure.

    Neck Bicep Bust Waist Hips Weight

    I am sure this dress you have to order will look amazing. My suggestion..make sure the dress can be altered nicely and still look like it should. Good luck to you on your weight loss journey and to obtain your healthy choice goals:)

    I carry most of my weight around my waist and hips, it's incredibly frustrating as I can be up to two sizes bigger in jeans than tops, because of that. No such thing as spot reducing so I just keep eating well and working out and hope that as I go along they get smaller!

    Has for a couple years and still does. Can't wait until that changes.

    I carry most of my weight in my stomach/back.


    wow what a shocker, your so pretty and in shape looking

    *twitch*

    Haven't you already used your hour for today?

    *poof*

    Like it never even happened.

    Surgical strike completed.


    ETA: Oh, and to answer the question, no.

    This is like a game - "Chase the Lady". Anyone know of any other threads "blessed" with "her" input? Or has the member been deleted as well?

    It sucks being an apple shape. I gain 90% in the middle, with no hips to speak of.

    Mine did for a long time. I sustained a diastasis (tear in my ab muscles) with pregnancy. Weight training has really helped to move it so it doesn't stick out past the ta-tas anymore. It still sticks out more than I'd like, but I'm trying to get to goal weight before I have it surgically repaired!

    yes maam, my body is similar shaped. dont they call that a pear shape, where you are bigger below the waste than above the waste. trust me, we are not alone. i was wearing size 30/32 pants and 26/28 shirts. currently i can do 22/24 on both tops and bottoms depending on the pants, i may have to go to a 26/28.

    but yes having this sort of unproportion measurements is common...sounds like the lady you were speaking with, doesnt get a wide variety of shapes and sizes in her shop...thats why she said it "never" happens.

    When I got married the first time (2006) I was a UK8 bust, UK12 waist and UK10 hips. That screwed with their measuring system...

    I'd second the "call her manager and tell them" and the " go girl on the dieting, and remember Spanx are awesome" approaches :)

    Mine does right now and I'm not pregnant nor have I ever had children
    Chest 33, waist 30, belly 35, hips 38.5

    We actually experienced a similar conversation with a bridal shop last year when ordering bridesmaids dresses, I'm sorry your sales lady was so rude, you should definitely all the manager.

    Mine does and I hate it! One of the parts of my body I hate the absolute most! But it's getting smaller even though it seems to be the SLOWEST part I'm losing. But at least it is going away. I'm very self conscious about it and hate to wear dresses or any longer shirts that are stretchy. Unless I have a belt wrapped around my mid section..nuh uh...ain't going to happen. And that lady must be new at her job because there is no way she's never seen anyone w/ their tummy hanging out past their boobs. Or she's just had a lot of people lying to her over the phone about their measurements. And obviously she doesn't look at other people when she's out and about. I mean...seriously??? Either she's very unobservant or just stupid and insensitive. lol

    LOL I remember when I could easily rest my arms on my stomach and/or use it as a table!

    Yep, mine does too.. :frown: Not pregnant, and not had any children. It's pretty common, I don't understand why she said that!

    Apple shapes carry the weight in their stomach the most. Pears tend to be slim up top, and bigger below.

    That employee sure didn't know a thing about body shapes!!! I see apple shapes all the time wherever i go. I'm a pear shape, but i fan relate to the size difference.

    Wow, that was rude and ignorant.

    Mine never has, but my mom's does. I know a lot of women proportioned that way.

    I think with my boob size, I'd have to be 300 pounds for that to happen to me, though. Suckers are big for my frame!

    Yes it used to and even at 134pounds at 5'5" only just got the belly to 31" had to get a BMI of 23 before my belly hit the healthy circumferance measurement, when I had an overweight BMI my belly circumference was in the obese range. My dad used to ask if I was pregnant all the time, until about the 4th time when I said "you ask me everytime you see me! no! so stop asking!" :(

    Also I am, and probably always will be, at least one dress size (in some cases 2) bigger on the top compared to the bottoms, dresses can be a nightmare as if it fits on my hips it's disgustingly tight on my abdomen and if it fits my torso I have baggy hips, splitting dresses at the side under my armpit when I bend over is my speciality ;)

    Having said that I'm much happier with my figure now and love my legs, us apples have rockin' legs, you have to be happy with your good bits, I'll probably never have a totally flat tum but I can live with that ;P. Oh yeah and get a waist cincher they're fab!

    How very rude of the sales person!! I suggest you make a complaint and waggle some discount for the hurt caused! As for the belly thing mine does right under my boobs but that's also the place i have noticed the greatest loss recently its like getting a boobjob! Lots of people i know have a smaller top to their bottom or the other way round. I guess she's never experienced it LUCKY her (sarcastic humor) :) xx

    My belly does stick out past my very small "rack".

    I'd make a complaint against that sales person. She must think there are a LOT of pregnant ladies out there...

    Oh yeah, it's called being an apple, lol. I definitely suffered from that and even now down almost 60 pounds my waistline is still out of whack, it's way better, boobies stick out way farther than my stomach now but it's still making my clothes a bit whacky, sucks being a fourteen everywhere except my waist.
