Ok I've been told alot that I don't look like I weigh as much as I do and that a hold my weight well. Now my measurements are 42-35-47 so i was wondering does the proportion of your body really makes a difference in weight loss and weight gain?

    That sounds pretty proportionate to me!! Don't laugh, I'm 41/29.5.30 (h/w/b) I find that I lose in my biggest spot LAST so maybe you'll lose evenly since you're pretty even?

    I'm roughly 42"-36"-45" let's all take a guess at my body shape lol. But anyway you're similar to me and no one ever believes me when I tell them my weight. My husband CAN NOT believe I've gained 30lb+ since meeting him. I don't think it makes a difference in actually being able to lose or gain weight, but I think it plays a role in where you look like you lose/gain the most... if that makes sense. I know for me I get really small through the middle since I have a long torso so I can look small but not have really lost a ton as it takes longer to slim down the hips/bust.
