Shorties (5'3 and under) where do you gain your weight?
Replies
-
Hips, thighs and butt. There seems to be at least a 10-inch difference between my waist and hips at any given time. I wear a 14/16 petite in jeans, but a medium top.0

5'1" and my weight is in my boobs and belly. Thank goodness both have been greatly reduced with my weight loss.0
-
5'2" and mine goes to my belly, always has.0
-
5'3 narrow hips no butt, goes to tummy and thighs. Even at my super thinnest I just lost it from above my waist..thin arms etc. I am a size 2-4 but I'm talking about my silhouette.0
-
5'2. It all goes to my bottom half.0
-
Absolutely, always, my belly. It does not help that I am short waisted either!0
-
I'm 5 foot 2, and even though I have a big bust, I'm considerably pear shaped, definitely goes to my thighs (they've always been the main thing I want to slim down but I've realized to do that the rest of me will get a lot leaner first so I'll still look pear shaped)0
-
Tummy and arms/breasts. When I slim down, I lose my breasts first... =/0
-
My breasts..just kidding. I WISH!!!! Seems like my thighs...but I am ok with that.0
-
Tummy, but I also have diastasis, so it looks big even when I'm thin. I've always had it, also before kids.0
-
I am 5'2 and a half. My upper half...mostly my stomach area, but I also have problems with back bulge around my bra area as well as flabby arms! :ohwell: My legs always stay fit and toned though...but tummy weight is SO SO hard to lose! Ugh! Especially after you have been pregnant!!0

I am 5'3 and apple shaped, so I gain in my back, tummy, and hips.0
-
I first got weight on my tummy and my boobs, but I think it just varies by the person. I have tall friends who gain weight all over and look fine because there's more height for it to distribute.0
-
5'3" here, belly, butt, hips, thigh are where I hold on to it, boobs were the first things to disappear :-(0
-
I'm 5'2" and my weight seems to spread out pretty evenly. I get it on my arms, face, stomach, back, hips, thighs, and butt, but because it's spread out, it doesn't look pronounced and people rarely believe me when I tell them my weight. Hoping it'll disappear evenly too as I lose weight. :laugh:0

I’m 4’ 9” and I think I’m top heavy. I’m heavier near my tummy, upper arms, and bust. At a healthy weight I seemed to be broad shouldered. I wish I was an hourglass, but I’m learning to embrace my shape. I hope I don’t lose too much in the bust area0
-
I am 4 10'. Boobs, thighs/legs, butt & tummy! lol I am all kinds of jacked up! ! I don't mind the butt but or the boobs.0
-
As some other people have said, I think it's dependent on your shape. I'm 5'1" and an hourglass/muscular (a bit naturally bulky for my height), so it goes everywhere. The first place I noticed fat loss was my upper back. I've never had much of a belly overhang, which is nice. However, now that I've lost weight I'm a medium top (34D or DD), size 6 bottom, but plus-sized legs (seriously, I went to get thigh highs...) and thick arms too. I'm resigned to my thick limbs.0
-
I definitely gain the weight in my stomach. It's horrible because the abs is the area I'm most obsessed with toning too probably because it's where the fat always seems to go. I think everyone is different and it depends on different factors where the weight is gained. I have a sort of boyish figure and am not curvy.0
