So wish I had a cute bottome and a small waist,:grumble: nver going to happen so just h ave to make do with what God gave me!!!!!:heart:

    I'm an apple too.. Last time I lost a lot of weight my belly and waist were the places my body seemed to save for last... didn't do ANY real exercise though so I guess that made it worse. Now I know that exercise is a MUST.
    Everytime I put on more weight it goes directly to the tire around my mid section, and I can't even count all the times people have asked me if I'm pregnant... Now I just say "no, I'm just fat"... :grumble:

    Wow, you all don't know how reassuring it is to hear the 'issues' you all have as well! I thought the reason for my muffin top was because I was buying the wrong cut of pants. It doesn't matter how loose the jeans are I still have a muffin top (the ones in the pic are 14 and I went window shopping the other day, found out I'm in a 12 now).

    I will definitely start working those core exercises. I'm currently doing cardio because that's what I enjoy/get most satisfaction doing.

    *snort* I was a size 10 several yrs ago and still had a freakin muffin top, unless I was willing to wear totally baggy jeans/shorts. Which I'm not. I dont like having to pull my pants up all day nor does the 'I pooped my pants' look appeal. At the time I was a 10 I wasnt doing ANY exercise, except running my tail off waiting tables. This time I'm doing sit ups along with other exercise in an effort to flatten my tummy. oohhh an do you also have that issue where you have a giant 'gap' right in the center of your back, even in jeans you can barely button? :grumble:

    Yeah, I've noticed what's most upsetting is in the past I could fit my legs and butt into small jeans but my so-called waist didn't fit into them (can't button). I swear, us apples are the most unlucky when it comes to clothes. The whole wear an empire-style shirt/dress is unflattering in my opinion because it makes us appear pregnant!!

    Same build too, it's frustrating. I've always had a tummy and then after popping out three huge boys via c-section I have wrecked ab muscles plus tons of hanging skin that only gets worse when I get thinner. When I reach my goal weight and maintain for awhile I think I'm getting a tummy tuck!

    Yep, I had a tummy even when I was a healthy weight before kids---then I had three huge babies & 3 c-sections so I have the wrecked muscles and excess skin too. I so wish I could get a tummy tuck as I think it's the only way this mess of mine can be eliminated--unfortunately I don't think that will happen.
