I hate my jelly roll the most, although my upper arms don't make me very happy, either. When I was thin, I had the classic hourglass shape. I wouldn't feel so bad if I could get rid of the upper belly stuff. It's like I have lips around my belly button.
I disagree with the earlier post that there are only two versions of how people gain weight. I really do gain weight all over. The more weight I gain the more I look like a big rectangle. My mother on the other hand gains the majority of weight in her stomach- skinny legs, large stomach. My grandmother was the same. So there are more versions than just apple and pear. As I lose weight the curves come back- I start losing weight in my waist (not abdomen), legs and arms. After a few months my abdomen and hips start coming down as well. The last seems to be my breasts- but they get small pretty quickly once the process starts. The only good part about this is I generally never have a stomach that sticks out much so loose skin is a little bit less of an issue for me.
