    I have to admit my boobs are much nicer when I'm this weight and my butt. I'm curvy and I do enjoy that. I know I can be curvy when I'm slimmer but it's not the same. My breasts lose fullness and so does my butt.

    And my face losses a lot and tends to look gaunt. So a little extra is nice sometimes.

    That being said I can't wait to reach my goal for health reasons and I know how much better I feel and it's so much easier on my body for the activities I enjoy.
    I agree... it's the boobs! Mine are always the first to go... sadly!
  • Well...short answer nothing!

    But I've been told by a lot of girlfriends that I have the 'perfect' hourglass figure. So I suppose I am fortunate in that I gain weight mostly in my boobs and ***. One really uncouth girlfriend also marveled at the fact that I don't have stretch marks...I have never had a child so I'm not sure why I would have stretch marks...but ugh thanks for the compliment?

    My big fat body also has a lot of muscle underneath that carried me through 3 half marathons and one full marathon. So if I ever lose the weight I'll look very toned (I hope!)
