This thread has been very helpful and encouraging to me, as my weight loss has slowed I've noted my thighs and calves are getting larger - perhaps "athletic" will mean better proportioned for me?

I have no butt. I have never had one, never will have one. That was even when I was something like 75 pounds overweight - ALL of my weight was/is in my stomach. Ok, and boobs, but for some reason those don't seem to change much outside of the cup size. I've always wished that I carried weight like most women do...

I have learned to ignore those charts and just try stuff on - it is much easier that way - assuming that it isn't something you HAVE to order from the internet...
