    My body shape is, and always has been, curvy (ok, for a while, it was lumpy!). For a long time, I was 36/24/36, right now I am 39/31/40.

    I'm rockin the 36-24-36 hourglass ... only ya gotta add 10 inches everywhere lol I look thinner than I am because of my height, which is nice. I'm actually a little scared to see how my body may change as I lose weight. I like my hourglassiness!

    I had a big bust, a little waist, and wide hips, and considered myself an hourglass... When I lost the weight, though, my breasts got smaller than my hips, and now I think that I'm more pear-shaped. I'm not sure, either, I guess! ;-)

    I'm REALLY afraid this is going to happen to me. When I was young, I always prided myself on my hourglass - it's a very forgiving shape, and clothes tend to look great, no matter what you put on. After having kids, though, the girls don't have the same umph. I might find myself cycling through ALL of the body shapes to get back to that hourglass. :( I hope I can get there.

    Stand infront of a mirror, put your arms out and draw your outline - then see what shape you drew :)

    That's a great suggestion.

    I've been an hour glass since I first developed in like 5th grade. I've always had a booty and I rock a really extreme hour glass: 40-33-41. But I'm also 5'9" and broad-built.

    I'd love to shave off a few inches overall which is my goal.

    Houglass usually means your hips and chest measurements are no more than an inch different. and 10 inches different between waist and hips. So 36/25/37 is traditional hourglass. A pear would be mor like 36/27/38.

    According to this, I'm probably an hourglass (sweet!) but with all the extra weight I'm probably an apple. (All of my weight is in my stomach, really.)

    I've used this online calculator before and it seems pretty accurate for my shape.
