Hey everyone,
I’m 23, 5’0", and currently weigh 186.6 lbs. My BMI is 36.4, and I carry most of my weight in my upper body, so I definitely have an apple-shaped body. I also have an overhang stomach that really bothers me, and my knees clash when I walk (I think it’s knock knees).
I’ve started working on losing weight by eating better, doing treadmill workouts, and just starting some strength training, but I’m worried about whether these things can improve. I keep reading that apple-shaped bodies are tough because we hold so much fat in the midsection, and I feel like the overhang stomach might not go away even if I lose weight. And with my knees, I’m not sure if the knock knees will improve as I slim down or if I’ll need to do something specific for that.
For anyone who’s dealt with something similar:
Does the overhang stomach ever fully go away with weight loss? Did strength training help? Has anyone managed to reduce the look of knock knees while losing weight? Are there specific workouts or tips I should focus on to balance my body shape or improve my posture? Here’s a link to help show what I’m dealing with: https://imgur.com/a/oXzK3fv
I’d really appreciate any advice, tips, or encouragement because this is something I’ve been self-conscious about for years. Thanks in advance!
