Wormwood:
Hahahaha, back boobies. Brilliant.
Keep doing what you're doing, lady. You know you're gonna kick their @ss.

Y'know, I was 153 in that photo, but it was 153 BEFORE I gained a pile of weight and got back above 153 again... I didn't get a progress pic of THIS time at 153... I wonder if I really was that bad just 5 lbs ago???
Jelbb, you were too hard on yourself but YES look at the diff! I am also envious of your hourglass curvy figure that will only get sexier. And look at the definition in your abs, I can see the center vertical line that one gets from getting thinner and abwork; and definition where your external obliques are!
and Meredith is all I can do!
*oops!! I'm NOT a twenty-something

Lol, one of my girl friends in high school who was much thinner than me would always talk about how I CLEARLY had abs.... abs. Pfah! I haven't done a situp or crunch in about 9 months. That's just how my fat distributes itself once I'm down a bit lower in weight. Fat distribution. Super sexy.
Lol, and to all you, "Damn look at your hips," gals... thank you!!! but---omg! Try fitting those hips into a pair of jeans and looking good, lol. If you look at where my bellybutton is relative to my "hips," you'll realize just how SHORT my waist is. Doesn't make for a good look when you've got clothes on.

Dude, I am right there with ya. I just read someone's post about how they're 5'5" and wearing a size 10 from The Gap at 175lbs...that is awesome for them, but man, I can barely squeeze my 39in hips into size 10s from gap, and not without a muffin top (I get one in a size 12 too, but that's because the size 12s fall down and then ride below my love handles, instead of on them). I've just decided to come to terms with my muffin top. I'm reclaiming it. Muffin tops are sexy!!!
I have always had small boobs that seemed big because of all of my back fat. I try to tell people it's all back fat but no one believes it. Now that I'm losing weight, it's becoming obvious. The hubby is not pleased.
Hips are awesome. (please note the sarcasm) I will never be able to be below a size 10 because of my hips. I'm fine with that, really, its just like GAH. I don't even want to know what's going to happen after I have babies and my hips spread.
And yeah, good job on the back fat, both of you! I gained most of my weight in my tummy, but I did develop little "angel wings" as I called them (hey, had to make myself feel better some now). They're gradually going down, and I'm super-psyched about it.
Noooo, I had underwear on, I swear!! But it was kind of lacy/see-through, plus it was really big on me so I had some serious droopy-drawers and exposed crack going on... Thus, I figured it would just be wiser to crop out my heinie entirely, LOL. Though, not gonna lie, I do like the way my butt/legs look in the bottom half of that picture! Heh.
Thanks for all the kind words, ladies! As usual, you all are way kinder than I deserve. But jeez, now I feel like I hijacked Jelbb's thread or something... Hope I don't look like I'm trying to steal the limelight or something! (I get paranoid about things like that, heh.) More of you gals should post your own pics so we can all commiserate over our back fat woes! Hehe.
Ps. Jelbb, I gotta agree with everyone else who's complimented your shape... Like it or not, you have a very sexy, curvy little bod goin' on there! I bet the boys flock to you like bees to honey, cuz you've definitely got the "lovely lady lumps" covered! Hehe. I can't wait to see how your shape evolves as you continue to lose!
Lol, Mer, if anything you've SAVED me from this thread looking totally narcissistic, you're MORE than welcome, and I encourage other people to post pics too.
LOL, I love that you just quoted Fergie in reference to my figure. Highlight of my evening. And I can't wait to see how my shape evolves either! I can't even remember what it was like to love the upper half of my body, but I distinctly remember in highschool walking around in a towel and a bra around my boyfriend and feeling like hot ****. God, I hope that feeling comes back.
And STELLA... thank you for the hips commiseration!!!
