Wide shoulder before/after pics?

I have that type of body, plus huge calves and biggish thighs without actual hips if that is possible, so it is even worse. But no requested pictures because I think I have the same shape regardless of gaining or losing weight. The only difference is whether I am all around bigger or smaller. I think some of it is bone structure and some of it is just where your body likes to store fat/ build muscle. Not really something you can control. Some pretty skinny celebrities wide shoulders and small bottoms (Kaley Cuoco, Hayden Panettiere) so I don't think it is something you change change just by losing fat. You won't look like a linebacker when you are smaller but you won't necessarily change your shape...

If it really bothers you that much, you can try doing some lower body exercises like squats with heavy weights to try to develop your lower body muscles more. But I think you will be limited to a certain extent to your genetics. Maybe focus more on being healthy and loving yourself as you are. It's great to have goals and want to be healthy but I think at some point, we also have to learn the grace to accept ourselves. While it may be nice to look like an hourglass and I would totally sign up for it if it can be given away, I wouldn't spend too much time obsessing with it. There are more worthwhile things to focus on.

Calves are mostly genes I think. I know a lot of guys that work on it and get no where. I choose to love my body for the functional things it does for me. If there are parts of me that are not ideal supermodel proportions, I just accept it as supermodeling is not my job.

Judging by your profile picture, you don't look like a NFL linebacker. Maybe if you gained 100lbs first... I'm sure you look good now and you will look even greater at your goal

I am similar...I have average shoulders but a huge bust, I have most of my weight in my stomach and bust, and then NOTHIN in the hips/butt department. When I was very heavy I used to say I was an apple on a stick. I HATE IT. I will never have an hourglass, but I hope that the more weight I lose, I will look more proportionate. It has gotten a little better, but I still go on ebay and look at butt pads. IT seems like the fad is a big butt and thighs and no maam I do not have that! Also makes jeans fitting miserable. I simply have nothing to fill them out. On the plus side, my legs are very shapely, nice muscly calves, but anything above, NOPE.

I feel your pain. I have always had to buy larger shirts to fit my shoulders. It is almost impossible to find clothes that are flattering to my upper body. I am now about 5 pounds from having a BMI at the high end of a healthy range for the first time in my life. I have actually gotten a couple compliments on my build and broad shoulders at the gym now that I am becoming more fit. I have been doing a lot of strength training and I feel like it is really helping me to appreciate my build more.

That is my EXACT body type!
I have broad shoulders ans arms like a sumo wrestler, but from the waist down I am three sizes smaller. Seriously 3 sizes smaller on the bottom with absolutely NO butt!
We all have different body types, so I just make the best of what God gave me. Nobodies perfect and I am just thankful now to be down to a normal weight for the first time in nearly 20 years.

Btw I love broad big shoulders on a woman. So what you hate about your body is something that I find beautiful. Learn to accept that about your body and by weight training your glutes more.. You can definitely build a bigger butt! Bb hip thrusts as I mentioned before, glute kickbacks on a cable, donkey kicks, lunges, glute bridges, abductor machine or with strength/resistance band, all those exercises will help build the glutes.
