Apple or Pear?

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!
