Half a Muffin top? Really?
 
I noticed the other day when i got out of the shower that the little fluffy part on my right hip is like 3x bigger than my left hip. At first i thought it was the lighting but then i grabbed my hips and there's def a handful of muffin on the right that's not on the left. I figured no one would notice but then the next day my bf and i were wrestling (yes, we're tools like that) and when i got up, he was like, "omg i didn't realize i hit you that hard" he thought he hit my hip so hard that i started to swell up...but no, it was my one sided muffin top haha.

anywho, does anyone have any exercise suggestions that will allow me to target one hip at a time? i'm concerned that if i keep losing weight and don't focus on that spot that it will stay the same size and look even bigger...then i'll have to come up with a new creative name for it, and really, that's just too much work for me.

I have bigger muffin top on one side too - I always thought it might be becasue I have mild scoliosis, and maybe that is the side my hip sticks up higher? Not sure.

Well you can't spot-reduce fat but you can tone the area. As long as you're losing weight that spot will evenutally come off. I know it's annoying that you can't controll when. My entire left side is larger than my right (most noticably in my belly). It drives me nuts but it is starting to even out some as I lose.

I have this too! Just like my left boob is bigger, my left love handle is too lol.

Same here! My right boob and right muffin top is bigger! Ugh! Not as badly as before, but still there!

i'm glad to know it's not only me!! this is one of those things that no one really mentions so you don't realize it's normal i guess. is it weird that i'm not as worried about it now that i know you all have it too? we should start a half muffin club. haha.

Gotta love our non-symmetrical bodies. Grrr. Good luck with your half muffin top! My boobs are completely lop sided!

CollegeGirl 12-29-2009 09:46 PM

Yep I think we are all at least a little lop sided. My whole left side is a bit larger! I guess there isnt anything we can do about it but laugh :)

Yeah, my love handles are lopsided too...drives me crazy! I thought my pants were shrinking and it was just the way the fat on my hips were...one pant leg was up higher than the other. I have to adjust all the time.

I feel a lot better. My left side is quite a bit larger, too.

I do agree with Aclai, though. I'm sure it'll all even out as you continue to lose weight :)

My right love handle is bigger. *facepalm* Stupid body, you're supposed to lose weight EVENLY! :p
