Which body part has become the biggest bane of your existence?

This is a depressing topic I know! But then we can do a spinnoff off the parts we love most! I am looking for sympathy from my fellow ladies; that we all have one thing about us we dislike but we are still DEAD SEXY!

i thought of this because I went to the gym today and the genius that deisgned it, put a WALL OF GLASS facing from the lockers so you must walk towards it on your way to make the right that takes you into the shower area.

I have always hated my thighs but seeing them wall to wall lmao NOT GOOD for the ego that is supposed to be getting me through boduoir pics in 2 months!

But I digress. The thighs and budunk-a-dunk have always been an issue. My new issue is my belly!

I NEVER HAD ONE. Seriously-its flatish still but definetly has some pooch going on. I know most women do but mine has ALWAYS been unanturally flat naturally. I never did situps EVER and yet trainers would ask me what I did to get the six pack. I would tell em I drank maragritas and ate cheese puffs

My mom and my brother have the same lines of deliniation naturally. just odd. But now as I get older, I still have the lines on the side, but in the middle I get the softness. Final straw was when Pete 'CUPPED IT' last weekend when we were spooning.

When i kicked him (none too gently) he said 'WHAT? I like it. its pokey.'

Pokey????!

So thats my newest obession-getting the belly BANISHED!

Anyone else?

my arms & my lack of boobs..

I have gained & lost a lot of weight in my day- thanks Crohn's- so my chest looks like i've had kids already aren't I lucky??

I've accepted that though because atleast it means i'm STILL healthy

my arms are disgusting. I need to do something about that.

on a happier note, my butt & thighs are thick and I LOVE IT!! I LOVE MY BIG BUTT I've got some junk in the trunk & I like it.. I truly accept my *curves*

Gotta love a big butt. I dont mind my curves-I hate bathing suits but WHO honestly doesn't? In clothes I like the curve. Nothing worse than one of those unfortunate women who has an @ss that looks like someone stuck a straw in itt and ****** hard.

let me explain further.. big asss is not a WIDE asss... wide = wide.. a big ol' butt needs to be ROUND and BUBBLE like.. it can not be flat & wide.. no, wide flat butt = wide hips..

and yes, mine is round and bubbly.. My poor sister's is wide & flat..LOL She hates me for it. But she has ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL the boobs

My stomach

ever since having a baby, it won't go flat anymore

and my boobs. They aren't as full as they used to be.

They didn't get bigger? My mom's did-actually now that she went through meopause they are HUGE! Almost a D and she used to be a B! She's so prudish lol that she is ashamed of them. I feel sorry for her. My dad loves em and DH teases her by wolf whistling when she wears something snuger than a tee shirt-boy is going to get his head whapped off one day!

And you have a good excuse for your pooch-Ella! Whats my excuse? Age?..

they got bigger right when I had her but now they are like empty utters I used to have a nice full rack. Now I look like I have banana peels. I told DH I want a boob job when we are done having kids. The Dr says that its the muscle that used to hold my boobs up - that is got stretched out from holding up the big mamas for those few months. So technically, I might need a lift.

I currently look like Madga from Something About Mary... but without the tan

cut back on salt..

that and cardio helps with the belly.

for me.. i can't really say it's been the BANE of my existence but i would think my boobs b/c I was flat chested most of my life. Thing is, I was really skinny and athletic for a while so they were proportioned. Went up to a C cup after my son, but they're 'deflated' now that I stopped birth control.

and my nipples are the size of bologna slices...

I have a great @ss so I can't complain TOO much. I wish I were muscular but I guess no one is truly happy with their body. I'm content for the most part...

I' convinced the mirrors in gyms are *fixed*

It;s usually genetic... so if you're mom *kept* her boobs, most likely you will too.

I kept mine, but like the other caroline said... they're stretched out.

mine are a mess right now

No specific part. Just that I am shaped like a pear and wish that I was more proportional.

I used to joke that I didn't care if guys looked down my shirt, 'cause all they were gonna see was my shoes. (Now they'd see my tummy but that's a whole other issue...)

DH doesn't let me complain about boobs anymore. He says some guys are fans of big boobs, whereas he is just a big fan altogether.

jenn i too have the thighs & booty! As a dancer u either get the long lean ballerina legs, or the short stocky jazz legs lol...and no i didn't get the ballerina ones I do have to admit i actually love my booty - always have....i've ALWAYS hated my thighs - but it's funny 'cause my legs are DH's favorite part of me go figure...now u know why i married him lol. j/k of course ANYWAYS, so i've actually come to like my legs within these last 6years since DH finds them so sexy....what i DONT like is that fact that within the last 6months cellulite is showing up...I effin' HATE it. i know it's just from going through the holidays PLUS i haven't been to the gym in months. I always get back in shape for summer so hopefully (fingers crossed) it'll get kicked to the curb. but UGH - as of right now - CANT STAND IT!!!!!! oh..& i dont like the shape of my boobs..at all.

My tummy's been a little bigger than usual lately cuz of all the junk I've been eating. But the part of my body that has always bothered me is my upper arms. No matter how much I've tried in the past (I say past because I've pretty much given up) I've never been able to get them to look toned. They have that flappy thing going on and I HATE it!!!

Hmm Grace have you tried heavier weights with lower reps for upper body? I ask because I always ahd skinny arms and couldnt even lift ten pounds overhead. Now I can get 45 on the machines up in the ovrhead press.

I did what DH suggested-might be worth giving it a shot. If it doesnt work, nothing lost.

Start with as heavyy a weight as you can comfortably get up between 7 and 10 times. On the last 3 or so of each set, you should be struggling a little to get it up.

Do three sets of 7-10 reps. Every week or every two weeks, go up a weight, even if it is 2 1/2 pounds. I did this with the flat bench press and was AMAZED at how quickly I got stronger. The low weigth hight rep didnt work for me like it does for some girls, cause I had NO muscle there to begin with. Weight traners do what i was doing so figured it was worth a shot. And NO you will NOT get bulky-how I looked for the wedding, was after I started that routine and was at my strongest and I was nowehere near bulky.

Lower body I always do higher reps, lower weight to streamline.

thanks for the tip! I'll give it a try!

definitely the belly---if my stomach wasn't so effing huge i wouldn't seem quite so fat.

i'm okay with my legs---and my thighs are thick---butt and all---but the stomach pooches on me and it is my hugest drawback

Ditto. My belly. I am an apple all the way.

Hate my arms too.
