I have been doing Atkins for a while and went off of my diet as my figure was looking really gross.. I was getting smaller up the top while my hips, ass and thighs were staying the same and just being out there... I looked weird as I felt great and thin on top and then there were these hips that just stood out like a sore thumb.

What I am asking is if there are any exercises that I can do to concentrate on my pear shape that I have become as it is getting to the stage where I would prefer to be big all over than just half small.

I have a personal trainer and have asked her to come and talk about my diet and exercise but as yet she has yet to come. I am hoping to get her here within the next few days.

I am really concerned with this problem as it is what is keeping me from reaching my goal.. and yes I know that things will be different once I lose more weight.. but I need something to help me along now.. at least to make it feel like I am doing something.

Sorry for rambling

Thanks
Karen
