Shrink broad shoulders on a woman

i have always had broad shoulders but since i've gained weight they are really wide, and make me look fat when i am not. when i am standing next to other women i look amazon. i am not sure if its because the weight gain has caused my shoulders to get fat and if i lose weight they'll be smaller or what. if i get really thin will my shoulders appear less broad?

If you loose weight that you your shoulder will also get smaller. You may have a genetic predisposition towards this. Anyway there in nothing wrong with a woman with broad shoulders, at least in my book Wink

Yes your shoulders probably will become smaller with weight loss. However, as Light said, you may just naturally have broad shoulders.
Broad shoulders aren't a bad thing. I know a lot of women that would love to have bigger shoulders. People still use shoulder pads in their clothing to achieve that look.

Well...keep in mind that the bicep is a very big muscle. Yes, your shoulders will certainly shrink if you lose weight...but the rest of you will, too. You'll stay in proportion.

Small changes may be possible, but you're honestly better off accepting a detail of you that's not at all bad. It sounds like you have may have a mesomorphic body type...which is really a blessing in that it's the easiest to keep truly healthy. Ectos stand a chance of falling underweight, and the poor endos have more trouble than anyone not looking overweight. ^^;

I feel the same way you do! i have very broad and big shoulders and im not fat! however, if i take a picture of my self, the picture will turn out of me being real fat! I know plenty of people who are much bigger that me but have small shoulders, but by me having big ugly shoulders i would appear bigger than they are! I think that losing weight will help make them smaller, but the broadness will not go away!
