Apple here!
top photos are from 2008-ish bottom photos are 2011- pre-weight lifting so i am lacking in the muscle area. Now that i lift, i am only 5 lbs lighter than i was in the top photos.
Wow! You look amazing! So inspirational!0 -
Love these stories. I am an apple shape too so seeing you all is very inspiring0

I don't have any pictures, but I was an hourglass figure turning into an oversized apple at my heaviest, and now I'm definitely an hourglass again, belly shrinking, 20 lbs. down and about 2/3 to 3/4 of the way to goal ( determined by looks, not the scale).0

This morning I didn't feel like going to my Total Body class at the gym after work. I told myself "I'll do 30 Day Shred at home and if it's not raining I'll go for a jog" (lies). NOW I WANT to go to the gym! :flowerforyou: AMAZING results everyone! Very inspiring.0

This was Jan 2012 & Dec 2012. Only a 6lbs difference but that's because I traded in fat for muscle!
This has been my most inspirational post to date! Having been on 'diets' for my whole adult life I gave up some 6 months ago and decided being healthy was more important. Out went the scales (metaphorically speaking - I am a woman - I always have a sneaky look) and in came the exercise! I have never been more mentally healthy and I am seeing a big difference in my body shape! It never ceases to amaze me how much people notice and I actually get a huge kick out of telling people I have only lost 4lb when my appearance makes it look like over a stone! its great to see your pictures to remind me that my new approach of eating healthy but not so that my eating habits are oppressed, earning my food by enjoying my exercise and seeing actually very fast results in terms of change to shape and size is spoy on! Thats all I wanted; so lack of 'weight loss' hasnt bothered me in the slightest and my main causes of concern nowadays is after a rest day when I notice my calf and hamstring muscles are less defined!0 -

Everyone looks fantastic!0

We sound a lot alike. I am definitely not a 'red delicious" apple! I only like my legs, everything else holds weight. My baby is 3 so no more excuses about 'baby weight" 0

My previous post with my pictures was way too big and unorganized so i put it together in one so it doesn't take up half the screen! lol

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.
That is TOTALLY me....I hate it. Occasionally I will find pants that fit right but it is rare.
I appreciate all the pics to this!! Gives me hope my belly will go down!0 -

<--- This is my before and after. Started in 2008. The after is this year. As you see, I still have a long long journey to go. I would lose a lot faster if I would stop lifting weights (like that will ever happen). Anyway, I jokingly say I am an apple on a stick since my legs look so good.
Only issue I keep having is that plus sized jeans are made for the typical big girl with full hips, thighs, etc. So jeans/pants balloon on me. Oh well, that will change soon... I hope.0 -
Everyone Looks great! I am also an apple belly with PCOS, Ive lost about 5lbs and my body is now somewhat cut in the waist with bigger hips. I have also thinned out in my face while losing some of those annoying PCOS symptoms0

Im apple shaped too and even more so after giving birth. No before or afters yet as I as I am still in the before stage at 246lbs (5'8") but I have lost 16lbs so far. My heaviest was 2 days before having my son at 296. 2 weeks after delivery I went down to 262lbs (I had a lot of water retention and swelling) and now 6 weeks post partum Im at 246lbs.0
