Yep...twas I!
My backside is the bane of my life, whether in my current shape or when I was obese. Felt like it was back there secretly snacking no matter what....hard to believe the one in the photo belongs to me!
Haha, I know right?? I'm convinced it's developed a conscious brain & sneaks all sorts of goodies! What other explanation could there possibly be for 2 clothing size differences between top half & bottom half? I'm in control of the top half but the derriere simply isn't upholding it's end of the bargain
I have the opposite problem - no hips/bum and too much top. They are now on the run but it has taken forever for dresses to fit! 🤣🤣
Haha! Ahh, it's so strange how all of our bodies are so different!
I've got through the grief of my boobs going down 2 cup sizes....I'm quite grateful as it means I can get smaller dresses that look good on top & hide the snacking derriere rather well. (Love me an A-line!)
Feel your pain so much though because with certain cuts, bottom half looks great but top half is too baggy & makes me look larger than I am. Fashion is the enemy, for sure!
Ahhh, you'll be beautiful no matter what shaped fruit you are haha!
I'm definitely a pear (even when morbidly obese)but for some reason folk see hourglass a lot....
Always makes me want to drop to my knees dramatically & yell into the sky "NOT WITH THESE BOOBS!"
🤣
Thanks for such a lovely compliment. You're a peach!
I have a theory that people seem to think that big boobs are associated with vivaciousness. My big boobs seem to make me come off as more vivacious than I really am, and maybe your vivaciousness makes you seem more busty than your bra size would indicate?
Haha! Love looking at other lassies...theyre so beautiful & pretty, no matter
the shape. That sounds quite creepy typed out now I read it, but it's true! Peach....funny how that's the apparent beauty standard for the derriere...we should replace apple with peach, it's way cuter...just like the "apple" folk!
Well! That's something to consider....funny how assumptions can be made over something we have little control over (except surgery)....
I've been described as an animated(very recently too) talker so I've no idea if that counts....tbh it just made me want to stuff my hands in my pockets forever more 😂🙈. Apparently it "just means you're creative though!" I'm not particularly .... another assumption? Haha
Although people tell me that I an animated speaker, too; and my parents strongly disagree with that characterization of my genetic heritage.
(*I hereby offer my blanket apology to all actual Italians for perpetuating the stereotype.)
(And also for some of the things I do with pasta.)
In more derriere- related news, tonight I took my jeans off without unfastening them.

Oh so many!
-I fit into a winter coat that I bought from a thrift store years ago and have been holding on to because just maybe one day I would be able to squeeze into it. A size lg.
-I'm cold ALL the time and while I hate that, it is a constant reminder of how far I've come.
-My daughter (age 13) says she doesn't notice my weight loss because she sees me every day, but her friends have mentioned to her that I am looking good
-I almost fit into my daughter's winter coat. In ~2 months it should fit well and I will buy HER a new one.
-My boots easily zip up.
-I've always fit in an airplane seat but now I feel significantly smaller in one and have to tighten the belt often when I get in.
-I love clothes again and have a good reason to buy new ones!
-I need new glasses BUT when I tried on frames, so many looked nice on me because my face isn't so chubby.
-People ask me for weight loss advice.
-I'm on my last belt hole
-and on and on.
My only regret is not doing this years ago. Today I reached 40 lbs lost.43 -
I had to take a photo for work and the photographer told me that I was 'really photogenic" - probably the first time I've ever heard that said to me.30
-
I ran for 30 minutes today for the first time ever. Weeee39

I have been on my journey for four months now. Have lost 33 pounds. But even better.... went from 32% body fat to 24.5% body fat.
Back and hip pain is gone.
Made it through an entire kickboxing class. Before I could only do about 15 minutes.
All of my clothes are too big.
Most of my cravings are gone.
I can almost keep up with my 15 year old daughter.
Took 3 minutes off my mile run time.
Only 21 more pounds to lose.34 -

Am amazed you can find 21lbs to lose with 24.5% body fat! You’ll be a ripped machine! Sound like everything is working amazingly for you - Great job 💪9 -
Last weekend I went and visited the boyfriend and met a lot of his friends. Had a great time, but really what I loved were these two Mirror selfies with him, I don't hate the way I look. I've lost a total of about 80lbs over the last oh 8 years, (so not much but hey I've kept it off!) I still have a LONG way to go but I'm starting not to despise every not perfectly angled photo.

You are both great looking people and seem to look happy. There are no perfect angles. Just be you.7 -

Very cute dresses as well ❤️8 -
This morning I had to run down and buy new leggings in between gym classes, because the leggings that fit two weeks ago were suddenly loose around the waist and while I just about got through BodyPump and BodyBalance, jumping up and down in Barre Fit was clearly going to result in a level of embarrassing incident that would mean I had to move to South America and change my name.
My new leggings are a medium. A MEDIUM. I’m an extreme pear; I didn’t think it was ever going to be possible to squeeze my thighs into anything smaller than XL!
50 -
And they're cute, too!!! Yay for mediums!4

Ceiswyn, you are hardly an extreme pear! Your figure looks perfect!12

Thankyou so much! It’s a lot more obvious from the side, because my spine is quite curved; my waist is about a UK8, and my hips and thighs are a UK12/14. I am not loving the current fashion for A-line skirts3 -

Last weekend I wore my paintball pants all day and they felt noticeably looser in the waist. They were such a pain to buy in the first place, because they're pretty much designed for men and what fit around my actual waist could be thrown out the window once my hips and butt got involved. Every sizing thing I found said I should go with a L, but I ended up with a 2XL. I could zip up the L, but no way was any squatting, bending over, or sitting happening. The 2XL just fit me but without any room for cinching. Now I have to cinch them up and I'm looking forward to trying out the L again!14

I've crept on this thread for a while for motivation. Today I'll share some.
Today I am down 92 pounds in roughly 7 months. MY NSV however, is that I am almost into a size 42 pants (down from 54), which is in the "normal" section in many stores instead of the big and tall section.47 -

Thanks! My goal is 18%, 143 lbs. I am 5’4” with a large frame. I have a wonderful support system. And things in my life are pretty chill now so I can focus on making this path a lifestyle. It helps that my daughter is lifting with me as she wants to become a firefighter/paramedic.11 -
A friendly older gentleman stopped in front of me at work today to tell me that I was beautiful like the sun 😂 English wasn't his first language, but that was the jist of it. Kind of saddens me though because it never happened to me when I was heavier...25
-
All of my jeans are falling off now, after losing only 16 pounds. I actually look at myself in glass doors and ladies bathroom mirrors now, too, which I'd stopped doing a long time ago. It feels wonderful!24
-
I went to buy some pants because mine are all too big. I am officially at a size where I am able to shop at the department stores. I am no longer limited to Torrid and Lane Bryant (although I still love Torrid)24

Haha! How funny...I'm half Spanish...perhaps there's something in it after all? 😂
Well done on your NSV...love it when that happens but I hope you will treat yourself to a new smaller size to show the shrinking derriere off! ❤️3 -

Oh my gosh, you look so beautiful & you make a lovely looking couple! Congratulations on beginning to accept your hard work, know it's super hard to do at times ❤️6 -
Today I did something that I probably couldn’t have done before, and that I’ve always wanted to do: went on a walking tour of the beautiful historic cemeteries in San Antonio. It was perfect weather, the tour was excellent, and I was so glad I was able to keep up with the tour and navigate the sometimes rough terrain without losing my balance. (I’ve found I’ve had better balance since I’ve lost weight.)28

Thanks to kickboxing, I'm getting some serious abs and lats. Only been at it a month, and super excited to see what kind of transformation I'm up for if I can keep at it.20

Was working in the garden and was able to outlast my husband! New one for me!25

After having a couch day revising I realised I’d hardly moved. I did my 50 minute kettlebell dvd followed by 50 minute Zumba dvd and feel revived. I have never before worked out for nearly 2 hours and I’m not exhausted (I’ll probably pay for it tomorrow lol) and I’ve still met my CICO goals for the day 😁22

I finished my couch to 5k training yesterday and am signed up for a 5k on November 3rd! Three months ago, I could barely run a minute without passing out!37

At the doctors, I was able to use the regular blood pressure cuff and not the large one30

I went dancing in an off the shoulder dress. Got lots of attention 🤩 and danced for hours to disco and funk classics.
One guy came up to try to chat me up and said he couldn't find anyone else his age (insinuating that I am his age) because everyone in the club is like 40 or 50. I asked how old he is. 28 years old! 😱 I said "you're so sweet. You do realize I am 40? Thats is just how old the people are here" 😂😂39
