So throughout my life iv never known if i was a pear or an hour glass.

The problem is, is that i dont seem to fit into any body shapes..

So i think i am a pear because i have small top body compared to my the bottom half of my body..
My belly is about 2 dress sizes smaller than my legs...

But then i think i am an hourglass because i have small hips for my body. (Which is another reason y i dont think im a pear).
And my boobs are 9 inches wider than my waist and my hips are 7 inches bigger than my waist.

But then at the same time because my hips are 2 inches smaller then my chest, (not counting the boobs), i would think im top heavy...
But once again the having 2 size bigger legs and bum than the rest of my body pushes me to be a pear again....

So you might be thinking if it goes wide shoulders, medium boobs, tiny waist, tiny hips, massive bum, massive legs. maybe im just like straight.....

But im not at all because if you were to look at me i am one giant hourglass...
but my hips are once again too small to be an hourglass...

So.. does any one have any idea of what body shape i am...?

    an hour glass shape has large hips. hour glass (larger chest, smaller waist, larger hips), pear (larger thighs and hips), apple (larger in the mid sections), ruler (pretty much the same everywhere)

    apparently to be an hourglass your chest and hips have to be 9 inches wider than your waist..
    my chest is 9 inches larger...
    but my hips are only 7...
    maybe when i loose a little more weight im going to have wide anoth hips...
    because i am still growing atm...

    There is also the avocado shape, which carries more weight in the waist than the pear but less than the apple. Forget where I read that, but that's what I am according to the measurements I have.

    It'd be easier to tell if we could see a picture or if you listed your measurements. But guessing from what you have said so far, I would say pear. Pear typically means you carry more of your weight in your lower body; it doesn't necessarily mean you have large hips. For an hourglass you need to be pretty balanced and generally the waist is at least 10 to 12 inches smaller than the chest and hips. If you are still growing though, you may turn into an hourglass. I didn't get my hips until I was about 24 or 25.

    Everyone's different and there's little to be gained from pigeon-holing yourself like this. Use MFP to guide you through healthy eating and exercise that will make the most of the shape you are. You're only 18 and your shape will continue to change in the coming years before you fully settle in your adult body.

    This site lists twelve types, and that might help you get closer: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-488236/Trinny-Susannah-reveal-12-womens-body-types--you.html

    I'm a cello. Though, understanding what "shape" you are, doesn't have much benefit outside of understanding what kinds of clothes to buy to enhance your figure.

    The way I understand it, your shape has more to do with your shoulders & hips, not your chest and hips.

    If your shoulders and hips are the same width, with a defined waist, you're hourglass. Even if you're like me and have small boobs. :tongue:
