It's all made up to make people feel insecure about "problem areas" anyway. Just another moneymaker for the fashion industry. Every magazine has "dressing for your shape" articles that are all about hiding big boobs or making tiny ones look bigger.

I kinda giggled at the link you posted, K9, which told me to avoid all strenuous lower body exercises since they would perpetuate my spoon shape.

:love: you just don't want to be 44

I found this comical too, esp. since my lower body weigh lifting includes (used to include before I became unmotivated and unconditioned) lunges, squats, and various leg strengthening exercises!

:rofl:
Yeah, the problem areas they target for us---butt, hips, thighs, I find most people consider an asset for me!

It said I was a spion but I didn't know my bust so I think I put that in there I have big boobies

Agreed!

I laughed out loud on reading "Best Exercises for Escaping Your Hourglass Shape."

Wait, what?? Now you must escape whatever shape you are!! It's all wrong!!!

I would like to know exactly how to do deadlifts with 'little or no weight', also ;). And, only do squats if you're not overweight!!! We all know that doing squats when you're overweight will only make you bulky :D.

I should just nail my feet to the floor ;)

It must be done!!! ESCAPE your shape!!! :dizzy:

Huh I'm a "Straight" and a "ruler", and for years I was always told I was an apple. According to the other site, I'm a brick.... house. fitting.

I think 90% of the weight I've lost so far as been in my torso and back. The other 10% was in my fingers and face :)

Its funny though, most of the clothes they suggest contradict what I've been told my overweight/obese life.

Crap, well I spose there's no excuse for that. I do love the fact that they mention lower back pain for rulers, as I do get that from time to time.
