Apple Shaped

Flamenquera

I consider myself to me "apple shaped"...I am 5'3, wear a size 8/10 in jeans, size L in tops, and weigh 190 pounds.
I think its odd to be that overweight and still be able to wear size 8 jeans.
Anyone else have similar measurements? Do you feel overweight or just curvy?

I'm not sure what shape I am, pear or apple, but I do feel curvy. I always get, I didn't know you weigh that much?

I am definitely an apple shape. My chest measures around 36 and my hips are about 39 inches. Both of those measurements match up to each other as being around size 8 in most size charts for manufacturers that I like. However, my waist measurement is a gross 32 inches which is...ta-da...size 14 in every single one of those size charts. Therefore, I buy low rise jeans and slightly over sized shirts. My wedding dress was an 8, but I had to wear a tight and painful corset under it so my waistline would fit in it.

At the smallest that I ever was, I wore loose size 6 jeans and size small tops...but my waist was still 28 inches which is like size 10 or something. It's very frustrating! But it's also one of the reasons that my goal size is so small because I know that my hips will get there no problem. My waist? Who knows, lol. As long as my body fat is low enough to see a 6 pack, I don't care.
