"Apple" Shaped Women - Before & Afters?

So my body type!
Mom of two!
Good Luck! and you can get there!!

WOW!
you have decreased your age appearance by so many years!
your transformation is AMAZING! great job girl!

It won't let me edit my previous post anymore but I also have PCOS. The weird part is all the symptoms go away if I stay under a certain weight. Sounds like a lot of us are in the same boat!

Me too... and seriously? They go away?! I've already had two surgeries because of PCOS probs that would be amazing! So I bet I have like 70lbs to go..oh joy :-/

I don't know what "bump" means but if it means "please please someone else keep posting inspirational before/after pics because-I'm-really-needing-motivation" :sad: then by all means... BUMP. BUMP. BUMP!!

I gain all in the stomach/boobs/upper arms too. I called it my "Koolaid man" look. LOL

5'7 (before picture weight was 159...size 10 pant size large shirt..... and after pic was 133 (size 6 pant and size small shirt) currently 130 now. Excuse my dirty mirror, haha!

that is AWESOME! thats about where i am now im hoping to get to 140 maybe 135. great job!!

All the pictures look amazing! Congrats ladies! I am also an apple shape and have PCOS. I just joined MFP this week and am trying to get started on losing the weight I have gained, lost, and regained.


Feel free to add me. I need all the encouragement and accountability I can get!

I lost quite a bit then got pregnant for the second time, and am currently working on losing myy last four pounds. Here is my progress though! I am 5'3.

This was the day I left the hospital after giving birth on July 12, 2012. I was 148lbs.



And here I am today, four days into the 30 Day Shred and nearly six months after having my second c-section. I tend to carry weight around my middle anyway, so it is a work in progress! Currenlty I am 119lbs and hoping to get down to 110lbs and be toned.



Gah- I don't know how to make the pics smaller! I have a side view on the bottom picture too but it gets cut off.

270lbs to 161.6lbs

I have PCOS and I think that is part of the apple-ness.

You look GREAT! I have a friend who has PCOS. What does your workout look like and how long did it take to lose the weight?

I think its maybe weird because after people lose weight they don't look like an apple? I'm all belly....like ALL belly. My legs are like 2-3 pants sizes smaller than my "waist" aka pudge. I'm broad chested and hold weight in my arms too. GRRRR.

well, if it helps, since a small child i have looked like a toffe apple, stick legs, no bum, and HUGE belly..doesnt tend to matter what weight, always look between 2-9 months pregnant!! lol!!
the only time it didnt do that, was when i cut out ALL carbs/sugar.......seemed to melt off my tummy then.
but am now 50, and not sure if i am that dedicated to cut it all out again...
:bigsmile:

Hope you take pictures this time around, I lost 20 pounds and thought my abs didn't change but they did. Waiting to take another round of pics next week

I have always had a big belly but i'm slowly seeing improvements.

All of you are A W E S O M E! these are so great to see! Thank you for sharing your success!!

This was Jan 2012 & Dec 2012. Only a 6lbs difference but that's because I traded in fat for muscle!

before - 162
after - 140
i'm 5'10 and still think i have an apple shape since i have no boobs or butt to speak of.

its so nice to see that so many people on this site lost so much weight by counting calories. YOU ALL LOOK FANTASTIC AND INSPIRE TO LOOSE 75 POUNDS! If you did it, so can I!!

Sorry. I just couldn't resist....
