Hey, so I was wondering, there are so many body types, maybe we could talk about it, talk about problem areas, maybe befriend :)

So to start, I carry most of my weight in my upper body, ugh :grumble: I hate it because it makes my boobies big, but on the other hand makes me look less feminine :( and Considering I used to swim, my arms are really big and fat and I desperately want to get rid of them, anyone any tips? :tongue:

But yeah, feel free to share YOUR problems and/or how do YOU cope with your bodys imperfections :).

Take care guys!

    I'm really just fat all over. But my hugest things are my arms, my butt, and my boobs. I love my big butt but I hate pretty much every other part of my body. I used to think I was the ugliest thing God ever made, and I still have my moments where I feel repulsive and gross, but my husband has given me so much confidence and I love feeling pretty.

    I'm kinda big all over. But the thing that bothers me the most is my tummy. Its like I have a roll on top of my roll. Which is pretty gross when I get to looking at it. So although I got booty, thick legs and jiggly arms, my belly is what I hate the most. Currently I'm just working on getting the weight off. I've never been super thin to know what a flat tummy feels like but hopefully thats a bridge I'll cross one day. Until then, I just keep trying to love myself today and how I am today. But also loving myself enough not to leave me this way. Its not always easy and I'm not alway confident in myself. But I try to practice the "fake it til you got it" school of thought on confidence. And that works for me. Give it a try sometime!

    As a man, I'm embarrassed to say that I have moobs!! I also carry the weight around my middle and love handles. I have a very small frame and these problem areas stick out like a sore thumb!!! I've learnt to dress to hide my imperfections/embarrassments but am still very self-conscious.

    Anyone feel free to add me ......... help, support and advice is a great motivator!

    I guess you could say that I gain weight very evenly. People are always shocked when I tell them exactly how much I weigh. But on the flip side - that means that I lose evenly and it takes forever to actually see any difference!

    I am a bit chubby all over but the thing that is the biggest problem (literally) is my tummy. :angry:
    I guess that makes me an apple shape? :grumble: I also recently got a couple of stretchmarks on my tummy which is the worst thing ever :mad:

    My aim is to lose the fat all over and tone up at the same time and hopefully one day I will not hate my tummy anymore.

    Wanna know what makes me crazy? I am a big... well maybe not so big now, but bras! There are some big girls that missed out on being voluptous!!! I seem to carry the majority of my weight around the middle. I can give the Michelin Man a run for his money!!! When I look at myself all I see is tummy, which makes me crazy. Where has my weight started to come off? My legs and butt, which I'll take of course, but I wanna lose the tummy.

    I carry it around my middle, though my hips/butt run a close second. Honestly, I can deal with that. What I really HATE is the fat I have in my upper arms. I have the arms of my 80 year old grandmother (think chubby flying squirrel "wings").

    Most of the time, even if it is super warm out, I won't wear tank tops because of my arms. This is especially a pain because I want to find a wedding dress that has some sort of sleeve (cap, flutter, whatever), but they're all strapless. :grumble:

    I'm a hip and butt gurl. I developed a bit of a stomach as I got really big but I've had a big *kitten* since I was a little kid even...

    Everywhere except my wrists, ankles, and face. I'm so glad that I don't gain in my face because I can do those face shots for facebook and my high school friends don't realize what a whale I have become, but in exchange I have enormous/annoying DD boobs, giant thighs, hips, and butt, and the worst part, a tummy that not only sticks out, but hangs over. Someone on another website referred to it as "carrying a puppy in the front pocket of a hoodie" and that's pretty much what it looks like.

    Abs...but not just abs, I mean spare tire, muffin top....that lovely area that is so crucial to clothes and bikinis. It's first place I gain and the last place I lose. When I lose I can see if everywhere but that's definitely where my body likes to keep the energy reserves!

    I am the same, except I do have a tummy. If you can see me from the upper thigh down or the boobs up I look not too bad, just have to do somehting with the tummy in the middle, but overall I am pretty well proportioned.

    My tummy. My arms are fit, my collar bones stick out, my legs are rocking...but my stomach looks like I ate a baby whate and took on it's physical characteristics.

    i carry mine in my hips, thighs, and butt!!! a bit in my mid-section but that is luckily evenly distributed most of the time...i am coming to terms with the fact that i will never have 'thin' legs/lower body and my way to combat that is to make my 'thicker' legs as muscular as i can :)
    i never had much on top to begin with, but since losing weight my girls have all but vanished!!! :( i wish bodies were more mold-able so i could move the cushion in my butt up to fill up my boobs :) oh in a perfect world!!!

    My legs, butt, hips. I'm a pear. But my legs are the main issue. I can find pants that fit my legs but will be too big for my waist. It's frustrating.

    Well, at my checkup last week... my doc said that I have "the legs of a bull"... so I'm guessing that's it for me! LOL! I have a pretty juicy mucle butt too.

    Stomache, hips, and thighs!!! Its funny how I only enjoy working on my skinnier parts of my body when lifting weights. I HATE working on my abs and that is where I need the most work!!! UGH!!
