I'm 5'2" and weigh around 168lbs

I seem to show my weight in my tummy the most!
I honestly look pregnant, legs arms and face are much thinner than my belly..

    I'm the exact opposite. it's in every place other than my stomach and chest.

    5' 4", ~122 lbs. the majority goes straight to my abdomen and inner thighs. i feel i look disproportionate and pregnant, too. i've gone down from 192 lbs, and i still have a belly hang, if you can believe it! even if some of that hang is from the extra skin i had when i was heavier, it's still the WORST and majorly frustrating! >:(

    I work as a portrait photographer- once I was photographing a maternity session and the woman said "oh!!! You're pregnant too!!!"

    I put my camera down and said "no.. I'm not." And told her that her session was over.

    Ugh.....

    Everywhere! I have a very hourglass shape and my fat is pretty much evenly distributed all over.

    Belly, upper arms, and chin. I hate seeing my profile when I walk by a mirror. Blech.

    Belly. You can see in my profile that I started with a big belly. Now that I'm down 50+ lbs., my arms and legs and everything else is as thin as I'd want them but I still have a bit of a belly. I'm very self conscious about being seen in profile.

    I am a classic pear lol. Most of my weight is in my thighs (especially inner, but it's everywhere) and a little bit is in my stomach, but it is getting to be pretty flat. Honestly I don't know/care what my UGW is as long as I get my legs under control. My upper half loses weight first so I am actually getting pretty small up top.

    Boobs and midsection. I don't have as much of a belly as some, but I am definitely square from the hips to the underboob instead of curvy, then I have the big boobs to top it off. It is getting worse. Each time I go down a band size with my bra, I go UP a cup size.

    All over, honestly. Even in my ankles and feet. I've lost varying amounts over my body, I'm the incredible shrinking woman! lol. But I hold it in my stomach and hips the most. If only I could make that fat gravitate toward my butt.

    When I look at my profile pic, I'm immensely pleased that the shirt fits, and I'm immensely pleased that my jeans are a size smaller.

    But it will be nice to take some more bites out of that pear shape.
