in Health and Weight Loss
I would love to see mine. It's been so long. I do an hour of cardio a day (stationary bike 14-15 mph average) I can feel them. Seems like it's just skin and not fat over them. Help me help them make an appearance, PLEASE!!!! :)

    it's one of those genetics things. i've always had that guy V, at any weight. my brother has calves the size of footballs. some guys have a six pack at 20% body fat, and some have to lean out to 12.

    i'm sure you have other great physical attributes.

    Honestly? I want it all!!!! :) Don't usually drink anything other than water, 12-14 glasses a day. And as for the rest....maybe once a month? I'm really trying.

    It's just like everything else - the weight comes off from all over however it feels like, you just have to be patient and they'll show up to the party eventually.

    And yeah, I'm gonna tell you to start doing some resistance training, because everyone else is about to. I do what you would probably call no cardio (8 minutes of HIIT, 20 minutes of LISS, each 1x/week), because resistance training is pretty much way more efficient for any kind of "I want to look good" than cardio is. Also for the bone density and strength thing, which are kind of important too, I guess.

    Find a strength program you like - you can do bodyweight like Body By You if you don't like the gym, or do Starting Strength, Stronglifts, or New Rules of Lifting for Women if you do. Do whatever it says to do. Cut out most of the cardio. Be amazed at your efficient and effective progress!

    Capt is right. Collar bones don't mean squat. At my highest weight, I had boney shoulders and collar bone. Your build has everything to do with it. Dont worry about those and concentrate on your best attribute!!

    Are collar bones anything like ribs? I could really go for some BBQ ribs right about now.

    Seemed like it has been coming off in the reverse order that it was gained for me. On the way up it started with gut then moved to other parts and face. When I finally decided to do something about it it came off from the face first and now the only real thing I have left is the spare tire. I even had to size down my wedding band 2 times. Who thought there would be that much excess mass in my fingers to do that?

    I love this because it's hilarious, and I hate it because some dumbass actually made the first part seriously.

    But you don't really have to chose. I have collar bones and a mostly flat stomach and I eat pizza, sweets and soda. Well, and cake but I won't ever have a thigh gap.

    I never saw mine at any weight (normal or heavy) until I started doing lat pulldowns. I cannot tell you for sure whether it was the wide grip or close grip since I do both, but among other areas I think the wide targets the back and the close targets the front. Whatever the case, I started seeing it about +20 lbs ago after I started with the lat pulldown machine, and I'm certain it is that machine because that was the only upper body machine I was using at the time.

    So good luck to you and I understand. I never really gave it much thought before but I must say I have been quite delighted to see collarbone. :)

    Agreed. It's genetic, I weighed up to 280 at my heaviest and have always had very prominent collar bones lol one thing I have always gotten good comments about ^_^

    I think it all comes down to genetics. Tbh, I'm still clearly overweight (both my BMI and my appearance indicate that) but my collar bones are really visible... Anyway, good luck :)

    my collar bones showed up when I was still more than 60 lbs overweight.

    As to what point you will be able to see them, it's genetics

    What's your "heaviest?" I thought you've always been skinny..

    I agree with the genics comments. Losing weight could help make them visible but ultimately it's your genes.

    For example: I always wanted more boobs.... but no matter how much weight I lose it doesn't make mine any more visible! I guess I don't have the right genes for big boobs.

    FYI I want cake with the frosting toooooooooOOOOOOOooooo. NOW!
