how it works...

hi, thank you for taking the time to read this :)

umm, okay, so, like most women/girls i am woefully pear shaped. not curvy (or fat, i don't think...) but... pear shaped. my problem is that everything else is so thin - my arms, my stomach, etc. my calves are 12 inches at the biggest part, and then my legs balloon up to my huge 21 inch thighs... yikes ): i don't really carry weight anywhere but my thighs... so what i'm asking is....

is this how weight loss works? if i lose, say, 5 lbs, would that fat come off my thighs, because that's where my weight is mostly stored, or not at all off my thighs, or all over?? would i end up bony and grossly skinny everywhere except my thighs? /:

We need your stats -- current height/weight and age to be able to offer up any suggestions that are relevant.

But without knowing anything at this point, 21" for thighs is normal.

And weight loss occurs evenly all over the body, not just at your thighs.

Chances are you are struggling to adjust to what a normal woman's body actually looks like. It looks nothing like a little girl's body.

There are apple-shaped women who will be green with envy over your flat stomach, thin arms and slender torso. To be pear-shaped offers you serious health benefits and heart protection for life.

You simply need to be active, eat healthy foods and allow yourself to finish growing.
