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

  • 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?

    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

  • 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!

    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!
