Body shapes: Where do you gain weight the most?

So I have become midlly curious about body shapes lately, asking questions about what makes a person sexy..diets..yada yadda ya!

Now, here's a question for everyone..what kind of body shape do you have? Which part of your body stores fat the most?

I'm interested in this, because I was having a discussion with some girlfriends of mine.. Some of my friends constantly complain about their butt, one friend hates her legs and refuses to wear skirts, i have a girlfriend who hates her boobs..some girls i know hate not having any waist...
Im pretty happy with my shape. I have "curves" and love having a feminine bodyshape .but i have my own pet hates about my body

I am about 165cm (about 5'5) and I weigh about 57kg (around 125 pounds), hoping to get down to about 54kg soon though ..I'm around an Australian size 10 (US size 6)...

...the BANE of my body shape is my tummy..HATE it! I have really slim, lean legs and narrow shoulders..but my weight goes to my tummy and a bit on my hips too... It's not that bad, i know im not terribly overweight..but on my frame, being petite in bone structure and height, it can make me look almost pregnant!

Im generally not that body conscious, i wear what i like, eat what i like..it doesnt bother me that much- i would never starve myself or get cosmetic surgery..but im only human, we all have our little dislikes, im sure even models feel that way at times

so anyone else out there with a body part that you dislike?!

Wow, I guess it does matter where the weight is because 5'5, 125 seems skinny to me. I am 5'3 138 and I feel thin. My weight is mainly in my legs, butt, and thigh area. I have a little on my tummy but not enough to gross anyone out.

Every body is different. I'm 5'3 and about 130lbs right now. I used to weigh 143 though, and even then I felt thin and in the normal weight range. I've heard the body types are categorized by hourglass, apple, pear and pencil... I honestly don't know where I fall! I was really athletic for the majority of my life, and a lot of my weight now remains muscle weight. I do have larger breasts than I'd like to have... and all my guy friends laugh at me because they obviously think they're perfect. I think most my weight goes to my butt and thighs, maybe a bit of my stomach too.

My sister is 5'5 and weighs 130. She is very slender and you'd never guess she weighed that much. She and I have the same build, but I just posess more muscle mass than she does, and I got the boobs in the family We're exactly the same size in clothing too.

I am 5"2' and I weigh in at 117llbs. I have a tiny tummy pouch (not one that hangs everywhere)...I can get away with wearing low-rise jeans. It's not FIRM and MUSCULAR mind you, but it's not blubbery either. LOL

Most of my weight is in my ass, and thighs. I personally hate it. But as I've noted in previous posts. Everyone has something about themselves they hate. Whether they are very tiny, or have a bit of meat on their bones.

Alot of where you hold your weight depends on alot of things. If you are a smoker, you are more than likely to gain it in your mid section. If you are a woman and are on the pill, it usually goes into your "womanly" parts. Boobs, thighs, butt, and tummy.

I'm an 'hourglass' shape. I gain weight in the hips/butt and upper body. It looks proportional, but I could definitely stand to lose some weight in general.

I'm 5'5 and 98Lbs

I guess I would describe my body type as lean.
I don't really store fat.. I'm not a *nut* about how I eat.. I just don't care for *Junk foods*

Genetics I think plays a big role in my size plus the way I eat and excersize..

I am 5' 7" 150 and I have all my weight in my hips thighs and butt!

I was a gymnast until age 27 so those parts are the areas I have to work on regularly! I hit the Y at least 3 times a week to help firm up the old buns!

DO I hate the fact I always gain in these area???? OH HELL YES!

Tiki.... Shut up!

We all remember your tattoo (that on your back) and everyone congratulated you on its shape.

What's with you and all this negative comments about your body?

I'm 5'5.59 and I do not share my weight. I have long legs and a rather flat tummy. I do have curves so I constantly work my thighs. I don't have big boobs, but I like that ever since I'm on bc pills they seem... to have grown, LOOL.

My boobs probably weigh about 15 pounds each, so really, maybe I don't weigh that much. Oh, I'm dreaming. Yes I do.

Okay, I gain the most in my ass and my stomach I guess.

Better Curly?
