Who else is APPLE SHAPED?!

I am more apple shaped and pist off that I that I cant lose this stomach! I work out and even do P90X and my stomach is still a little pudgy. It appears bloated and I am wondering if anyone else has this problem and what are you doing about it? I have heard that less bread is good for people who hold midsection weight. In my picture I am turned to the side because I hate my stomach! I am small with a big tummy. lol. I am considering lipo and a tummy tuck because it comes back if I eat what I want for 1 week! I have 4 kids so Its a little harder and Im not narrow minded and feel like surgery is only for "lazy" ppl. I am small and love everything about my body except my abdominal area. I am at a loss. Anyone try the "belly fat diet" does that work for mostly your abs?

Me! I've had this lower belly bump for all my life, even at my thinnest. And it's a hard lump of belly, which means, (unfortunately) that it's probably behind the muscle, close to my vital organs. Sucks. :(

I dont know what to do. I may get surgery after I am done with nursing school and have saved up the money. Im going to try the belly fat diet first.

I'm an apple too, and the stomach seems to be the last area where I ever lose, and the main area where I want to lose. I hate that! Buying clothes, especially pants, has always been hard, because I need bigger sizes to accomodate the stomach, but then the hips and thighs are baggy because I don't fill them out. I could lose 50 lbs and still be wearing the same size jeans. Ugh! Clothes are not manufactured for people like me! LOL I can't wait to see the replies you get in hopes there will be some good advice we can all learn from. :-)

I think that trying low or lower carb is worth a try. I think it has a fair chance of surprising you, and if not, you can always go back to your usual diet.

Plus, even on someone like me with a more hourglass/pear shape, the flat stomach comes with the last 5-10 pounds, which is near or where you're at.

Finally, a truly excellent, truly uplifting bra makes a huge difference in how your abdominal area looks. It's the best crash diet ever.

LOL the bra thing was funny. I was a DD and now that Im so small Im a B! omg. My breasts are so small its ugly. They dont look like breast any more and I have to wear bikinis with great support because they look like saggy bags lol. Im getting implants to be a C and wear any shirt or bikini I want without worrying if my big push up bra will show. It I had B breast that sat up I would care though. But Im going to try low carb for sure.
