    I am an apple, inverted triangle (same thing?) body type. I gain weight in my stomach, back and arms. I also have treated hypothyroid.

    My first picture is me in my early 20's not the best picture of me overweight but seeing as how I don't keep bad pictures of myself this is the best I can do. A few years later I was probably another 10-20 pounds heavier. I am 5'9" and at my heaviest I was 195lbs possibly more, at the time I didn't want to find out.

    My after picture is me 33 at 157lbs, where I currently am at. I have two kids, one born 2009 and the other born 2011. That picture was taken around March 2013.

    ETA: I have pcos, endometriosis, interstitial cystitis, degenerative disc disease, and had a stroke nearly 5 years ago. You can do it if you want it. Promise.

    I am an apple (tummy and arms are the worst). My weight fluctuates, but I seem to lose in my thighs and butt and nowhere else. This makes my jeans look like they fit horribly. I don't want a muffin top, so I get jeans large enough for the waist and then they SAG in the butt and thighs. Anyone else have this problem? It looks horrible.

    Also, my arms are possibly worse than my belly. It's like they are a magnet for fat. They seem out of proportion to the rest of my body in fact. They're just fat collectors. I've been weight lifting and they don't look as flabby, but they still look too big in proportion to everything else. And you only see the "definition" I've gained if I flex. Since I don't walk around flexing, they just look like thick undefined arms instead of flabby arms. Still not a good look. :-(
