    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.

    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...
