Does body type effect weightloss?

I'm not quite sure what my body type is (37-28.5-41), but I've heard that body type can affect weight loss. Is this a crock or does it have serious backing?

    it definitely affects WHERE the weight first comes off. for example, a person with a pear body shape will typically slim down on top (chest, arms, stomach) quickly and have a harder time losing the fat from their lower half (butt, thighs, hips, etc).

    Oh okay, that makes sense. I've never stored weight in a particular place, more like just a little bit all over. Hopefully that's how it will come off too!
