@seltzermint555 thanks for the encouragement! And I feel you (re: the wind hit your T-shirt and showing that upper tyre!) but you’ve inspired me to keep going :)

It’s not the curve at the waist I’m referring to but the shape of the belly itself - it has two rolls instead of one. Like a capital B instead of a D lol

Thanks, I appreciate the advice. It’s not really the fact it’s sticking out though, it’s the shape more that has concerned me over the years (from 9 stone right to now at 12’9). Then the capital B shape rather than a capital D - it’s kinda like having two permanent rolls when standing.

Your tummy looks great! Definitely given me some inspiration, thank you for sharing! I can see the shape but actually it doesn’t look bad at all. I need to keep focused on eating healthy and losing the weight and hopefully with time will learn to accept / love my shape

Sorry that my post has given you any negative feelings towards yourself, it definitely wasn’t my intention. It’s just something I have personally noticed and dislike about myself and I can here to get some inspiration / share my thoughts. It’s not a “thing” as such, it’s just a thing for me. Just all the belly’s I seem to…

Yeah I guess that’s part of it for me, is that I’ve never worn a bikini or felt truly... free in my body, at every size, due to my shape, and that’s kinda sad. As I lose weight, hopefully I can learn to accept it more though.

Yeah I know what you mean, but for a while I was a bit obsessed with my “different” belly shape and would look at others at the pool, on holiday, on instagram etc and there just rarely ever seemed to be any, if any at all. I feel like it’s a hard shape to hide but that’s not to say there aren’t any, just feel it just must…

I get married in 6 weeks and I've just started over on MFP for a last boost. Disappointed in myself for not trying harder over the last year but drawing a line and just doing what I can. Want to continue after the wedding to get to feeling more like myself again. I'm counting calories/macros for weight loss. Good luck!

Dog lover here!! Just getting started but I'm happy to connect with others :) this is my wee Bucko.
