What shape am I?
 

Okay everyone...I'm trying to figure out what body shape I am. I'm going back and forth between hourglass and apple. I have big boobs and big hips. I guess you can kinda see my waist, but now that I've been gaining weight I can't see a waist at all. My belly has always been a problem for me, but I probably look better from the side than straight on (stupid love handles). I ALWAYS get compliments on my legs (was a dancer).

When I gain weight....I gain on the boobs, neck, and stomach. When I lose it, those are the places I lose it. That would be apple shape then, right? But whenever I see pictures of shapes, I look more like an hourglass because my hips are pretty proportionate to my boobs (although right now my boobs are quite larger). When I'm at goal I guess I can see more of the hourglass shape. ANY CLUES??? (As if I haven't confused you enough already, LOL :lol:

I just ran across this body shape calculator if you want to check it out

Too funny! I always joked that I am a rectangle. Because my waist is kind of thick, while my chest and hips are about the same size. But now I come to find out that a rectangle/straight shape is real.

Haha, I am a... SPOON?

Hey, what a geat side, dressing tips and all!

LOL. I'm a spoon too. And here I thought all along There is no spoon.

this stinks: I am

Unavailable at this time

a freak of nature I guess....

explanation:

A very small percentage of women do not fall into any of the 7 body type catagories. We are sorry that we cannot match your body type at this time.

Good grief:mad:

BuddysBuddy :hug::hug:

I was more of an hourglass when I was thinner, but I gained most of my weight in my belly and now I am rectangle/straight. It will be fun to see if my shape changes back as I keep losing. Great site, thank you for sharing!

You're welcome :)

Yeah, I got this too. What the ****! I've always thought I was a pear because I'm bottom heavy. Boo.

Hehehe! I'm a pear lol...god I just need to lose weight. I'm a big fat giant pair!

Hahah that was funny, I'm an inverted triangle.. that's not good! Definitely true though, smaller on the bottom, bigger on top. But that's why I'm here, I guess lol.

To the OP: I think you sound more like an hourglass.

That calculator was interesting. Measurements always make me a pear, but visually I'm more of an hourglass. I figure I'm an hourglass-ish pear, or a pear-ish hourglass ;).

Most of these classifications seems to assume that either your shoulders and bust are small, or both are wide. But lots of women have narrow shoulders but a larger chest, or broader shoulders and smaller bust. I think shoulder width has more impact on whether you are visually hourglass or pear than bust size does.

Inverted triangle...and the description was dead on...narrow hips, flat bottom, carry my weight in my upper body.

Blech! When I lose this weight, I'm buying some of those padded briefs...gonna get me some BUTT!

:D

You can have mine - right now, in fact! ;)

But you may LOSE it before I'm ready!

:D:D:D

Oooh thanks for the site, it tells me I'm an hourglass lol , confidence booster!!! :)

You're welcome ;)

I'm a top hourglass. When I was heavier, I was more of an apple.

Loved the site. I am a spoon and the wardrobe tips were right on.

uhm uhm I thought I'm a pear shape because I have larger hip.
But I always gain weight in my stomach first before gaining weight in hip and thigh (but well, when you gain weight, don't you gain everywhere ? I kind of gain everywhere but I notice I gain first in stomach, and my stomach will gain 3-4 inches before hip gaining - my thigh won't change much after all)
So I got the spoon
Hm, and now I think about that, it's somewhat true isn't it?
Probably we all mistake us are pear because we have larger hip.

P/S: oh and the idea clothes is like what I usually wear. Guess I somewhat have a good fashion sense :lol:
