I think I'm an apple. I have a very long torso, though. I carry my weight in my tummy.. and a little in my upper arms and upper legs. My wrists and ankles are STICKS, lol. I have very little fat on my hands and none on my feet. I'm mostly torso, lol. Hmm.

So... apple/triangle?

I am definately an hourglass. whenever I lose weight the first place I lose is my stomach then my arms, my legs are always the last to go. I have broad shoulders and wide hips.

My ankles are sticks too! I hear about people losing shoe sizes as they lose weight but that won't happen with me at all, my feet are already super skinny! The rest of my body needs to catch up with them.

Hourglass which I thought would be great but all the weight is distributed evenly so even though I've lost fat, I feel like I look the same 18 pounds ago. I told my husband I wished that I could lose it off each limb so I could see progress, how odd would I look! I think my torso looks short but I'm kind of short in general so I'm not sure. I have VERY large hands and feet and a large frame.

Ahhmm.. Fruit Salad is an option?

Wide shoulders and chest 40" around and cup B or C. Hour glass in the middle.
Big flap hanging up front. Looks like I was stashing away something illegally at the super market, like loose loose beans or something.

Would that make me Hourglass/Pear?

I loved this article out of Britain about women self-reporting body shape and how wrong we usually are:

I've always called myself an hourglass. I don't know what I am according to GoddessJessica's link, but I have an 0.74 waist-to-hip ratio which is close to my bust-to-waist ratio (46-35-47). Maybe that makes me a pear since my bust is smaller than my hip measurement? I dunno. If they're saying only those with a 0.7 waist-to-hip ratio qualify, then I'm not quite there.

...but damn it, it's close enough for me. Hourglass it is!
