    Yes, could someone please explain 'apple'. I thought I was an apple but now I'm not so sure. My weight seems to go to my belly, below my bra on my back, and my arms. I've lost 25 lbs. and wear a '3x' in tops and a 'L' in bottoms. Is this apple?

    Thank you ladies for posting this thread. I have always tried to figure out what shape I am and now I know. I don't have any current pics to post but hopefully I will soon. :smile:

    Yes, Apple shape is small arms and legs. You are shaped like an apple and carry your weight in the stomach, back, and sometimes boobs. The stomach is normally the last to go.

    Bump! I have always had muscular legs, no butt, narrow hips but plenty of fat on my belly and back. Please tell me I will get rid of it one day!

    ugh you just described my body down to the tee

    I'm an apple. Right now I'm 133 (5'2). But even 10 years ago when I was 115, I had that apple belly. But I was always "skinny fat." I hold out hope I can at least tone my abs and get rid of the love handles.

    from the couple of pictures posted so far it seems like there is hope....we just have to work harder than the pear and hourglass shape...that sucks.

    Bumping this to ask if any apple shaped women have found jeans they really like?

    Thanks for posting this thread!!!

    As for jeans, my favorite are Apple Bottom stretch jeans and there is no pun intended- lol! I knew I wasn't a pear shape, but didn't realize I WAS an apple until reading this. I've always had small legs and no butt or thighs, big boobs and all my fat I gained has always been under my boobs to my stomach and it got worse when I ended up having five hernia's when I got pregnant so now the one side of my stomach is always bigger than the other.. UGH!!!! I am loving the 30 Day Shred -it has really helped and I'm only on Day 4 of Level 2. I haven't taken any pics, though.

    I am also an apple. (mad at that) but from my research here on MFP, I have notice that strenght training plays a major factor at taking off belly fat or any fat for that matter. Which is a shocker for me cause I have always been in a CARDIO CARDIO CARDIO state of mind. I already have board shoulders so the last thing I wanted to do was pump some iron and get bigger. But I see now that it is still needed. I just started kettle bell traing this week, so hopefully i will soon be able to post some success pictures.

    I always used to think I was an hour glass. Just recently, I learned that I'm not. Having big boobs and a big butt doesn't make you an hour glass. My waist doesn't really nip in at all - it's straight. I'm a banana! Great. I hate bananas LOL.

    I am big all over, including my stomach. It has certainly decreased! Running over the last two months (or maybe a little less than that) has done the most to change my stomach! I don't have a good photo yet, but here are a couple decent ones:

    Before:

    During (this was about 10 lbs heavier than I am now):

    Can't post pics right now because I'm at work, but if you go take a look at the pics on my profile, you can see before and afters. I'm VERY apple shaped in my before pic, but, as I lose weight, I am becoming more hourglass. Still a long way to go, though.

    I'm an apple I guess, but I consider myself more of a tube, lol! When I started, my boobs, waist and hips were all the same measurements! My arms and legs are so disproportionately skinny!
