    5'3".... All goes to my core: waist & hips. NOT good.

    BUT when I lose it, I am one of the lucky ones who have an hour glass shape so I'll take it! :bigsmile:

    THIGHS. Oh, how I hated my thighs, growing up! There's a little pocket of fat that hangs out right under each butt cheek, and on the inside of each thigh. Damn genetics. Thanks, Mom. :ohwell:

    5' 2". Butt and hips. I've always been pear-shaped, but the older I get the worse it gets: hormonal changes affect body fat distribution. As I can't be super active because of injuries, the only way I can control it is to watch my calorie intake.

    According to my scale, my visceral fat is low, so that's a small comfort.

    4'11" And it's all my stomach! Ok, I got some lower body issues, but my stomach constantly looks pregnant. And after 4 kids, it ain't getting better. :(

    All over. I'm an hourglass :-) even after losing 50-odd pounds I still have a generous coating, but there's more round my bum and thighs these days. Still want to lose another 13lb!! I'm really lucky that core exercises have a flattening effect on my stomach though!!

    I think it has more to do with your body shape (I am an hourglass).

    I have read things lik ethis: http://caloriecount.about.com/forums/weight-loss/weight-loss-different-women-body-shapes

    Since I am an hourglass, my midsection stays fairly small but I gain in my upper arms and my thighs/butt

    I agree with this 100% I also have the hourglass shape and it all goes to my thighs/butt and upper arms, now for my husband he is a cone shape it all goes to the stomach and upper body no legs, no thighs, no butt lol.

    5'1" and hourglass shaped. It goes to my face right away, and then my hips and butt. I know I really need to start paying more attention when it goes for the tummy.
