Body proportions! Girls!

I can totally relate. I'm shaped like an upside down triangle, and it's been my experience that, the skinnier I am, the more boxlike and un-curvy I look. I literally look like a big, bony pair of shoulders. That's it. No waist, no hips, just shoulders and arms. It's maddeningly frustrating to realize that my clothing actually flatters me more when I'm bigger because the extra pudge provides the illusion that I have a body more developed than that of a ten-year old. The only solution that I've been able to come up with to "show off" the results of my hard work is to go everywhere in a see through latex catsuit, but the people at the grocery store asked me to leave, and when I went to the bank...don't even get me started.
Seriously, though, I understand what you mean. I've had a little bit of success through doing more strength training and eating very high protein and low carbs. Best wishes!

I understand but losing more weight will not fix it. Strength training to build up your shoulders will make your waist appear smaller by contrast. Or a boob job if you aren't opposed to plastic surgery.

The strength training deal really does work. I've always been annoyed with my shape, and then one day it occurred to me that creating muscle in the right places would actually give me appropriate curves without having to gain any fat back. BINGO! I'm thrilled with the results so far and I'm only just beginning.

Working out my chest muscles helped me "fill out" a little better

Im not at goal yet but my hope is that my boobs shrink - a lot!

Thanks for the advice everyone! Do you have any suggestions for good upper body stuff? I do bench press, bicep curls, tricep curls (are they called curls?), and flies.

Pushups, lat pulldowns, overhead press or push press

I agree with strength training. I want to lose weight, but more importantly fat. I strength train a lot so I'm trying my hardest to not even worry about the scale or a "goal weight" and focus on making my body the way I want it to look.

I also suggest that you try and love yourself for the way you look. Many busty women would actually enjoy a smaller chest. Grass is always greener, you know?

Well said! You are one smart woman!

LOL. Actually this is what I had always hoped for. I even teased my husband I would get a breast reduction. Well...I have lost 5 inches in the chest and not only is my husband less than pleased I am as well. Never thought I'd say that but they look deflated now. Hoping chest flies, etc...work a bit. Why couldnt the loss be in the midsection...ugh.

Don't be too hasty in not considering augmentation. After my weight loss I could not stand the sight of a pair of empty socks! I had saline implants back to the fullest cup I ever was. Reasonable price, in and out surgery, back to work in less than a week. Happy me, happy hubby. I am now at the porportion I like too. Some times 'Store Bought' is good!

PS: I also do most of the chest, shoulder and arm exercises too, they definately pay off.
