"B" belly success?

I had a huge B belly. The bottom of the B hung low and I have stretch marks around my hips and bellybutton. My belly was so big, for a while even after losing a good amount of weight, I didn't really have a waist. The belly's gotten much smaller, the top bump of the B is significantly smaller now, if I continue to lose weight and tone, the top bump will soon be gone and I will just have to deal with my lower belly pooch. But I'm much happier with how it is now, for me, the potential of left over skin from weightless far outweighs the health risks and psychological effects of being obese had on me.

I just went to the restroom to check...and yes it is definitely a B belly. I just always looked at it as the hour glass shape of my body. Mine has no doubt gone down a lot and I hope will continue to decrease as I lose more weight.
Good luck to everyone...hope we all get the I belly we want.

I think I had a "w" belly that's now a "B" belly. Making progress.

It just gets smaller ... well so far, im 5 lbs off my goal weight though, so im not holding my breath but I am going to do another round of insanity... if anything can get rid of it it will be 2 months of crazyness hehe ill let you know

I've lost about 85 pounds (somewhere in the 290s to 205 now), and I still have a B. I had a kid five years ago, which contributes, but my lower half is... more pliable, I suppose. And the top half is smaller. Overall, I fit fine into clothes and like the way I look, B belly and all.

That said, when I'm feeling really down on myself, I tell myself that my belly button looks like a Shar Pei because of the way I've lost fat there. XD

my sisters and i do, my youngest sister is a fitness competitor, hers went away at around 18% body fat...this is after being 180lbs. she is 124 or so for competition, i want to get there some day soon. i'd show you pics but they arent online yet

eta, she won the fitness model group

Mine is nearly gone. I'm hoping to report a success soon. I have lowered my goal by another 5 pounds in the hopes it will be gone. Only time will tell.

I have a D belly but noticed when I was getting close to 230lbs and my high waist pants that the B belly was starting to happen. I still think my D belly is gross though, it just hangs low. ugh.

I have a lower case d belly ...i.e just a lower pooch, with loose skin from pregnancies...its a lot smaller than when I started, each lb makes a little difference but I'm not sure it'll ever go

...I think I have a lower case "b" belly lol I'm pretty tiny from under my boobs to about an inch or so above my belly button and then my lower belly gets nice and big :grumble:

Same here, my upper belly does not stick out but my lower belly is quite jolly and full LOL! I have really full hips and the lower belly just kind of melds into them. It gets larger or smaller but really never totally goes away, even when I was 110 lbs in high school I still had a larger lower belly. I think that the belly shape is very much governed by genetics. My mother is shaped the same way.

I also think genetics play a huge part I am the same shape as my mother...except I have bigger boobs much to her dismay LOL

Since I started at 300+ it will never go away and I will have a good amount of loose skin at any weight, but I'm looking forward to the day when it will shrink enough to squish itself flat under jeans. The top part is for me has lost more than the bottom part, which I'm happy about. I'm well endowed, so my T-shirts usually cover the fact that I still have the upper bump. I'm not really bothered by my belly in general, since the shrinking process seems to be going much better than I imagined.

Bump.
