[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So obviously you start by losing weight. But for me it is not enough, in order to have a somewhat smaller belly I need to drop too much weight, I end up looking too skinny, and that's just to reduce belly from profile (flat stomach), I still have very little waist definition... is there anything you think I can do?

Currently I am 5'5, 115 pound with a 27 inches waist and narrow hips. My ideal weight is 108/110 so I am working on losing 5-6pounds. I have been all the way down to 103 six years ago pre-kid but my face looks gaunt. My legs and arms are skinny, my belly is ugly, chubby, fat and straight. Apple shape.

My plan is to get to a 25-26 inches waist in the coming 2 months:
- lose 5 pounds
- go low carb to be less bloated
- do at least 20 Minutes a day of Pilates, with a focus on side planks, criss-cross and pelvic floor exercise
- try a waist trainer...

What do you think? Useless ? Just embrass my apple shape? Did you try and succeed? I want to give it one last big effort before I give up (36 year old on her way to an early mid life crisis ..)

Adding that I have PCOS. Currently on a hormonal IUD and considering switching to a copper one to get rid of all hormones because of headaches. Every time I change my contraception my body shape slitghly changes. I feel like after years of pills I ended up having more cellulite and a smaller waist (right now zero cellulite, I don't keep weight on my thighs/butt). Wondering if going zero hormone wouldn't be worse and make me even more apple shape...
