Apple or Pear?

[tctrek]

I'll be the first to burst the bubble.

I'm a pear and I have a hell of a time losing weight.

OK - it was worth asking! From an apple to a pear, I feel your pain, sister!

I'm a pear, my sister's an apple - she gains & loses weight more easily than I do. i have a heck of a time getting it off once I put it on.

<--apple and pear, but more pear, I think, and I have a really hard time losing weight.

Yesterday I wore a high-viz lime green long sleeved t-shirt for my 20 miles around Lake Miramar, and people were staring - literally, open-mouthed gaping, a few of them. It's not like I was mooning anybody, and my top was fully covered. I caught my silhouette here and there and I guess I looked pretty huge in that bright green. Oh well.

I'm neither apple nor pear. I'm fortunate to be very proportionate. I was overweight for quite a few years. But once I buckled down and found the right ratio of inputs to outputs, I've not found it that hard to lose weight. Yes, it's required a LOT of discipline, but as long as I've stayed on plan, I've lost.

but you pears have an advantage over the apples, better heart health!

Pear here. And not only do have have the hips...but big legs teh way down. Muscled, but w/ a nice overlayer of --ok let's say it--FAT.

When I lose weight (and have) it is upper body first. And my bra size (eh hem--cup size) definitely decreased.

I look at women that are apples but mild apples and which I had those lean legs. I hate my legs. (but I still wear shorts--hey I live in FL--what can I do?!)

I think it is the fact taht we are WOMEN that makes it hard to lose weight. Darn it....I don't need to be built for carrying and birthing babies!

I think I'm a potato.

I would LOVE to have a nice, feminine, pear shape...
