I don't know if its just me but does anyone else have the problem where one side of their body is fatter than the other?
My right side is a bit smoother than my left. I think it has to do with the fact that I am right handed so thats where I will carry a heavy back back everyday, bags, waterbottles what not. Anyone else have this problem? I try to carry with my left side more to help this but it doesn't equal out.

    It's hardly noticeable to anyone other than me, but yes, I have noticed this too. My waist has a much nicer indention on the right than on the left...but until I point that out to someone, they don't know what I am talking about.

    its normal to be a little unproportional. when i was measured by a pt at the gym both my left arm and left leg had an extra .5 inch to em...

    yep same problem, but your definitely right, it's b/c of the right side being dominant. I'm the same way, i try to make myself work my left side more when using weights and what not, people are symmetrical so i think it's just something ya gotta get used to. I think the smaller we get the less noticeable it will be =)

    I'm like that. I think it's really only noticeable to yourself. My husband didn't notice until I repeatedly pointed it out to him....I just wanted to know I wasn't crazy lol

    It's scientifically proven that one side of your body is always larger and I believe it's your dominant side (I'd assume that's the side you write with). One leg is always longer than the other also. One breast may be bigger also. I find my right side to be bigger...I have more "rolls" lol

    My fiance says her left love handle is larger than her right and she's right handed.

    Just random I guess.

    Girl I have been unproportional since birth...I swear my twin squished me in the womb...lol..and I could only get nutrition to mostly my right side of my body. I was the runt..lol. My right arm, leg, foot, hand, and breast are all larger than my left..seems to be every part of my body so I don't even care. Most people never notice unless they are really looking for a way to make you feel like crap :) I don't let em!!! :)

    My Left boob is at least a cup bigger then my right, and my right side seems fatter. Hoping as I lose more and more weight it'll even up, but for now it sucks. lol
