I though I always had a pear/hourglass figure since my upper body like my shoulders are pretty broad, then it curves in, then it kinda goes out with a bump by my hip bone, then goes back out which makes me look Like I have a big bum and thighs from the front, and skinny flabby ass legs with fat in the back(noticeable while I'm sitting mostly). Also, as I mentioned before, most of my fat collects in the stomach area, so while I may look decent from the front, I have a very noticeable stomach from the sides.
I just want to get toned mostly, but I'm just really unmotivated(making myself feel bad in the end when I eat a big meal and end up even more unmotivated than before).

not sure about body fat.

I like my body but I'm starting to waist train/corset soon so I can look curvier. Super stoked. Went into a store where the lady put a corset on me that was 22 inches. A bit much but then she put on the 20 and it looked creepy. I'm aiming for 24

i got mine measured at the doctors a long time ago. you can do "meausrements" to try and figure it out yourself but tbh i think they are always wrong and bullshit. most fit girls are around 20%. average girls are 25%. anorexics are around 15%.


thats why i dont believe the first poster who said she was 12% - that is not a healthy % for a female - only for men. men can be 12% but they have to roid/go on DNP to lose the fat. 12% for a girl is equivalent to 2-5% for a guy. its just not likely, especially if you're 95 lbs at 5'5", thats practically a healthy weight lol.

i'd guestimate my bf% to be around 18-20%. i have abs, so there's no way i'm that fat.

i want to get down to a 22" waist at least. i've arbitrarily set my goal to 99lbs. i've been this weight before and looked a lot fatter, but now i carry a lot more muscle so i look like i did around 97-98lbs.

>>159877
you can estimate bf% with online calculators, but the most reliable way that is easily done is with calipers i believe.

>>159880
this. if you look at bodybuilders, women that drop to 11% are creepy looking. 15% is already very, very low bf for a woman.

I'm fat as shit now and a year ago I used to be
5'4 and 112, very athletic and had a 24 inch waist. I got suicidally depressed, broke up with long term bf, lost my job, grades in uni dropped, my eating disorder came back full force and the binge eating overtook my life because I learned so hard not to purge anymore. Basically I am now a fat, lazy, depressed piece of shit. Trying really hard to lose weight as fast as possible now. Currently sub-1000 cals/day because I know I can do it again.

If you have a history with ED and binging, you really shouldn't eat under 1000 kcals. That way it's easier to fall back into an ED or give in more to your binges.
It's best to calculate your TDEE and cut 500 kcals.
I've calculated it on Scooby's website, I have no idea how much exercise you get so I entered sedentary.
Your TDEE would be 2070 kcals so it'd be a good idea to eat around 1570 kcals a day. Careful though, when you drop enough weight, you'll need to recalculate your TDEE.

I'd suggest if you really want to, turn losing weight into a game, post on /fit/ boards too to get motivation when you're feeling down. I mean when you think in simplest terms, you need to eat under a certain amount to burn fat, so think of it like "if I eat too much over this #, I will have to repeat this level". I think a easy way to get back in shape is to burn one addiction like to food and create another.

All of my weight sits in my hips and upper thighs. As of right now, my thighs are 21.5" at the thickest point. My "ideal" weight is 102lbs, but I'm willing to overlook it as long as I can flatten out my tummy more and slim my thighs.

I think I look pretty cute naked, but wearing pants is such a nightmare. Anything but a dark color makes me look crazy fat if I'm not wearing a tight top. Not to mention my jeans all have a 3mo shelf life max. Size 2 body and size 6 thighs cause all my jeans to tear after a while. It sucks.

I hate it. I store a lot of fat in my arms and thighs. I'm flat and have very thick upper arms, so it makes me look very disproportionate. I don't go outside without wearing sleeves, which makes summer unbearable. I've been exercising with light weights ( 2 - 4 pounds ) for over a year and my arms have only gotten bigger. I've got a lot of muscle somehow and fat that hangs underneath when I flex. I don't think it's genetics, seeing how I'm the only one in the family who looks like they're wearing arm floaties.

Is surgery my only option? My arms look worse than they did when I was obese and I didn't think that was possible.

No. 159911

What if you try really concentrating on your body composition? AKA, increasing overall muscle mass relative to fat mass. That would mean moving up to higher weights and working on putting on muscle mass. I don't think it will turn you into the incredible hulk but it should help firm up your arms. Just a thought, since you seem open to suggestions.

I carry a lot of my weight in thighs/hips/arms. I absolutely hate my legs, they're cellulite ridden and have stretch marks all along the inside of my upper thigh and back of my knees. I was too dumb as a young teen to use lotion/moisturizer, so I'm just stuck with it. I also have big fat sausage fingers, and swollen wrists.

So are you wearing larger clothes? cause baggy clothes are the shit! I wear them all the time. I don't even have a bathing suit… haven't gone to a beach/pool in years. I know the feeling, but don't give up, there are options like trying to get fit with toning exercises (I am not sure if they reduce excess skin, but they can't be bad for us,right?) or worst case scenario a skin removal surgery. Stretch marks tho… I feel that they look gross af, most of the time people don't notice but when they do they usually think they are scars and ask me "How did you get those scars?" I should start thinking about a dramatic story behind them.

All my fat is in my butt and thighs and people always compliment me on them but they don't know the cellulite horror that lurks beneath my jeans

I need to waist train or something to get that ideal hourglass shape… but I'm happy with my body. My face, on the other hand… is a hit or miss most days.

im very hourglass and I'm all boobies. my butt is kinda sad in comparison though. I've been doing squats and lunges though and the boyfriend says it seems rounder than before, but I don't see much of a difference.

for some reason, a lot of guys (and my mother lol god please help) have complimented my hips (?) I'm not really crazy bout em, but more than a few have said something about them. maybe I am as qt as some people say but i honestly don't see it. my girl friends always talk me up and say I should model or something, but I can't, because I ruined my legs and arms with scars when I was a young teenager. basically, I don't see what anyone else sees.

I'd love to lose more weight and I'm trying rn, currently down from 260, my high weight. in the future I want to get my boobs fixed - weight loss fucked with the shape of them and I am sad chan - but for now I'm just focused on being relatively in shape and trying not to actively hate the shit out of my body.

tl;dr ex-fatty still-kinda-chubby still sees self as dumpy but tries to eventually come to peace with being a giantess with scars. sage for long as fuck and diary post.

I feel like my waist could be smaller just because its a size 2 when my bust and hips are a size 0 or 00 which is frustrating

W: Hit 127lbs due to a lot of stress at work and me and my bf going out for dinner and drinking beer too often. Used to be 119 but I still didn't like my body, I'm now trying to get down to 110. Is that good for my height? Advices?

I think I have a weird perception of my body, I can't even tell if this is thin/normal/chubby bc of pear shape

pants shopping is a nightmare

bf likes my body though so I guess it can't be that bad.

I'm lucky to have a small upper frame, but I really need to start working out more regularly. I store all of my fat in my thighs, and as of this morning the widest point of my thighs are only 1" smaller than my waist.

It looks cute naked, but it's super dumpy when I wear pants.

I'm not anorexic or anything, for some reason I am honestly chubby even though my bmi is pretty low. Is this a common short people problem? I think it is because I have a small frame or something. It is awful because I need to lose a bit more weight but other people are so against it just because the numbers sound low.

>Idk about my body fat. I'm working on it though D:

I have VERY long legs and my large boobs make my torso appear really short when it's not.

My legs are very muscular from years of BMX racing and I'm trying to even out my upper body by lifting. I'm doing StrongLifts 5x5 right now. I like the weight I'm at right now, but I definitely need more muscle tone. My arms, although thin and long, are fairly doughy. WHY IS UPPER BODY SO HARD FOR WOMEN?

Any other tallish hourglass ladies have trouble finding clothing? I feel like unless I'm wearing realy tight clothing I look like a potato.

Pear shape checking in. I'm trying to get down to 110 or 105, started at 138. I'll admit, I didn't do so with the healthiest methods, but now I'm doing yoga a couple times a week to try and tone up and not be a skinnyfat.

I'm probably what you call skinnyfat. Like I'm underweight, but I look like what people would call on lolcow average.

I wish I could be more athletic, but because of health issues I'm always too tired to exercise.

I'm >>159977 and I find it crazy that there's a 26lbs difference between you and >>159974 yet we all have pretty similar measurements (+/- 1-2 inches). How's that possible?

I have quite a broad frame and look spoopy and fat at the same time.
Like overly visible ribs, chestbones, hipbones, spine, places where people usually lose weight last.
I'm quite unlucky I guess…

No. 159983

>>159982
sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel bad.

I'm the same regarding visible ribs, collar bones, spine and such.

Mostly I'm confused about >>159974 because I had completely different measurements at that weight and they are even an inch smaller than the two of us.

No. 159984

>>159983
Nah you didn't make me feel bad.
People just lose weight at a different rate and have different frames. Eventually you stop getting much smaller (gaining muscle could still help though), since it isn't like you can shrink your frame.
There are ana chans with a BMI of 15 who are stuck with a 24 inch waist, and there are fat people who manage to have flat stomachs. Genetics are just weird.

It looks okay written down but I have a bony top half and then wide hips. Because boobs go forward and hips go sideways, it looks weirder in real life than the measurements make it seem, if that makes sense? I look like a bowling pin and it's infuriating. I want to work out more because my limbs are kind of like drainpipes with no shape. I'm so jealous of people with shapely calves. Only bright side about being a pear is that my belly is flat. Anything below that is a no no for me.

I'm the 125lbs anon.
It might be because I strength train more than I do cardio, so I buildup a lot of muscle. I also gain muscle really quickly, which sucks for my calves. Sorry if I confused anybody with my measurements! I honestly just posted what I measured, haha.

Sorry for the double post - but I also have a flat chest and butt so that's probably why my chest and hips measurements are smaller.

Fat rectangle shaped girls misusing the term hourglass irks the fuck out of me

I work out a lot and I'm 88cm bust and 66 cm waist, and have a big ass that I haven't measured since I mostly wear dresses. I am somewhere between hourglass and pear but just say athletic when asked what body type I have since I don't have a lot of body fat and don't want people to think I'm a whale based on how most people define body types

yeah that's true. I just didn't think it would make such a difference. reading the stats here makes me rethink my approach to weight loss.

No. 159996

>>159995

In a day, I do about 200 squats, 15 lunges on each legs (2-3 reps). Then I mix it up between situps, pushups, and weights for my arms, or I do some strength training videos on Youtube. Blogilates is a good one. It totals to around 30 minutes and I do this around 3-4 times a week. Cardio would probably be better for weight loss but I don't like sweating a lot nor going to the gym, lol

I wonder how many of these posts would stand up if people posted pics or could back up shit kek
