Steve Said:

question for the fitness, nutrition and health experts.?

We Answered:

I've had the same problem my whole life. People always said my legs looked like toothpicks. At my highest weight, I could only fit my stomach into a size 26 pants, but if not for my stomach I could have easily fit into a size 14. I gained 80 lbs through my twenties and after having 2 kids. I started dieting and exercising and eventually lost 100 lbs. But I still had a huge stomach so I had a tummy tuck. I dropped from a size 20 to 14 after the surgery. I don't know what causes it, but I'm guessing it's just genetics because my mother and grandmother had the same body type.
