Your shape?Apple,Pear,HourGlass,ect????

Kimberli33 · 09-01-2009, 06:29 AM

I guess im an hour glass meets an apple

..I'm closer to being a freakin apple though.

Apple has got to be the worst shape ever.I gain it all in my waist.My Dd is a classic hourglass and although she out weighs me by 20-25 lbs she looks better.Her jeans always fit good.My jeans fit my waist and are baggy in the hips and thighs,at least I have a butt.

Funny thing is when i'm thin i'm more of an hour glass.I just dont gain weight evenly.
What shape are you?

Houston Heather · 09-01-2009, 06:32 AM

Well, to quote a guy at work, I went from a gallon jug to a coca-cola bottle!

Was a slightly top heavy hour glass until age 57 - now a true apple.
(40-28-39)
There is only seven inches difference between my hip and waist now.
Used to be eleven.

livinlarge · 09-01-2009, 06:38 AM

No doubt about it, I'm an hourglass. A bottom heavy hourglass.

natesmomma99 · 09-01-2009, 06:40 AM

I always thought I was an apple shape until I started losing weight. The more I lose, the more hourglass shaped I am. I guess I just had a lot of extra in my belly.

Moogie303 · 09-01-2009, 06:41 AM

Back in the day when I was young and thin I was an hourglass. At my heaviest, I was definitely an apple.

I'm hoping to get back to some semblance of an hourglass.

Hoping....hoping....hoping.......

At least that's what I wish for as I do all those oblique exercises!!

NeverGoinBack · 09-01-2009, 06:48 AM

Stupid hourglass. I have always been an hourglass, but it gets more pronounced as I lose weight.

Yep..that is me.I gain more in my waist than anywhere else.

Dreams · 09-01-2009, 06:51 AM

My shape is.....round.

calee · 09-01-2009, 06:57 AM

Definitely an overflowing hourglass.

Rachelocity · 09-01-2009, 07:04 AM

I'm an apple. Or quite possibly, an M&M.

I thought an hourglass shape was a good thing.?.?

You don't sound happy about it.

Apple is the worst shape for health issues. I'm an apple - totally Syndrome X. Type II, high blood pressure.

It's horrible b/c when you lose weight you lose it from abdomen last - so my arms, legs, and chest are losing but the abdomen has soooo far to go. I start looking like this guy:

mamabear6 · 09-01-2009, 07:25 AM

hourglass, I've always loved it. I have nice curves when I'm skinny. Except my butt. That's the only thing I've never liked. It was too flat. lol.

jenna... · 09-01-2009, 07:37 AM

True Hourglass.

My top and bottom are the same and my waist is 11" less.

kadoatie · 09-01-2009, 08:29 AM

I am definitely an apple. I buy pants to fit my huge waist, and then they are soo baggy through my thighs, hips and legs. Ugh. I am anxious to see what happens as I am losing weight though ... something to look forward to!

Sherry26 · 09-01-2009, 08:35 AM

I'm an apple shape and probably always will be...so I try and dress to flatter my shape..so I'll look more proportionate..

...v neck shirts, mock wraps, empire style dresses that are little below the knee..cause I have sexy shaped legs..jeans with pockets on the back that are stretchy..

bdladie · 09-01-2009, 08:37 AM

I am an apple. I have lost so much weight but I still have an apple shape. I hope plastic surgery can change it for me.

tinatina · 09-01-2009, 08:50 AM

I have no idea what my "shape" is? How do you know/figure it out? Looking in the mirror does not help me.

jacky_ks · 09-01-2009, 08:52 AM

Pear here...35-26-39. Would like to get down to 35-24-36 but that's not going to happen because in order for me to have a nice slim booty I have to become practically a skeleton from the waist up. So it would be more like... 33-22-36.

I become a pirates dream...."a sunken chest"

Apples carry weight on their upper half (belly, boobs, arms) and Pears carry it on their butts, thighs, hips. Hour glass shapes are a combo-- evenly distributed.

I hear ya. You wouldn't know I had weight until I got UP from the table.

verbqueen · 09-01-2009, 08:56 AM

I'm a bottom-heavy hourglass. (I'd call myself a pear, but I also have a large chest.)

My waist is something like 14 inches smaller than my hips. It makes buying pants impossible. If they go over the butt, they stand out so far from my waist that you can look down in there and see my underwear!
