Default Interesting Site

I know links get removed, so I won't post one but the 18th October Issue of Briton's Daily Mail has a very interesting article on body shapes.

Just google 12 body shapes and it should come up.

I'm curious as to what shape people think they might be.

Me, I'm somewhere between a skittle and a cello.

Guess even 12 shapes aren't enough.

Go ahead and post the link - the only links that are removed are ones that violate 3FC's policies and this sounds perfectly OK. The article sounds interesting.

I'm somewhere between an hourglass and a vase. (Though until I lost this 45 lbs., menopause made me closer to a brick - LOL) I expect that I will return to an hourglass shape once the last 30 lbs. are gone.

I think I am now a cornet. Very wide shoulders and (now) narrow(er) hips

I tried to post the link, but it wouldn't go through and I got a message that said I need to have posted 25 times before I can post links. I got the same message when I tried to pm someone.

I thought 10 messages was the crucial number. Did that change recently or has it always been 25?

Magrat, you're right -- the policy changed recently because 'Tis The Season For Weight Loss Spam, sad to say. We've had a whole bunch of new "members" who quickly posted ten times and then spammed all over the boards with ads and links for their stupid weight loss pills. So Suzanne 3FC had to increase the number of posts to 25 in order to post links. I know it stinks for legitimate members like you, but unfortunately it's necessary to stop spammers. And it's only going to get worse come January.

PM me the link and I'll be happy to post it. It sounds interesting!

Meg, I'd love to PM you the link but I can't do that until I have 25 posts and by that time I can post it myself.

Rats! I forgot!

Type it out without the www or something and I'll figure it out and make it a link. Sorry for all the inconvenience! And keep posting so we can get your PMs and links!!

Frankly, I'm so totally unable to properly pinpoint what my shape is that it's not even funny. But I might be a hourglass as well. Or a cello. (I thought about pears, but I'm not sure I fit in that category since my shoulders are quite square and broad, and I've always had big boobs, no matter how much weight I lose.)

Hourglass or cello - definitly got the boobs and bum...if I lost the spare tyre around my belly, it might be a bit easier to see!

lol, my body shape is fits will in their coronet category, but at not quite 5'3, I'm hardly a designer's dream and destined for the catwalk! I just have a hard time finding clothes that fit on the top that aren't too large on the bottom!

Interesting site
