    yea, when I'm thinner I'm like a size 8 on top and an 12 on the bottom.

    I am losing my boobs, but not my butt still. LAME

    This is interesting. I'm still an hourglass, but I like to spoon so there's that.

    I have found that most people on MFP are shaped like massive d!cks.

    ETA: I do not mean the OP. You are rockin' it. Just a general observation.

    I can BARELY tell the difference in those two drawings.

    I don't really understand the point of caring. Sure someone can offer your advice on how to dress your shape but you don't have to take it. I ignore it. I think "full" skirts are stupid looking and wear skinny jeans in spite of being "pear".

    I'd take your spoon shape. You've done a great job with it!

    I am somewhere between a pear and a spoon, I think. I definitely have the spoon's shelf-like hip bones, but I also have the pear's thighs and bum...lol.

    Hourglass.
    I always thought i was, and this website verified it.
    Edit: but I do gain some weight on top of my hips, does that make me a spoon? Or is that just coincidental.

    I always thought there were 4 options as far as body shape is concerned: Hourglass, Apple, Pear and Banana. Out of these I always figured I was an apple because I gain weight in my belly and love handle area, but I never had a "top heavy" appearance characteristic of an apple.

    I decided to take my measurements and enter them into a calculator online and found out that I am a SPOON shape! I was so excited to actually find MY body shape because I have never even seen a body shape like mine on one of these sites. Spoon shapes have measurements similar to a pear shape, but we have high hips that create a "shelf" look and gain in our lower belly before our thighs/butt.

    Here's a pear shape:

    Here's a spoon shape:

    Also here is a picture of me at different weights for a reference.

    I just thought this might be helpful to any women shaped like me who never really fit into the typical body shape categories :)

    Oh my goodness, I think I might actually be a spoon too! I used to think I was an hourglass, but lately I've been convinced that I'm a pear. But maybe I am, in fact, a spoon!

    I too have those high hip bones and I've been hating that about myself since I started losing weight. I was beginning to think that something was wrong with my body but maybe my body just doesn't fit into the banana/apple/pear/hourglass club lol.

    Thanks so much for this! It was encouraging and insightful! :bigsmile:

    Can someone tell me who started all this nonsense? Women are beautiful and they do not fit into 6 different fruit or object definitions. What are the man shapes?

    I stumbled upon this site a few days ago too! I've always known I'm not the typical "pear", because I have fairly well-defined shoulders and do not gain weight in my thighs so much, but my butt is definitely bigger than my bust, so I am not an hourglass either.

    I have the typical "spoon" issues of GREAT legs, but a flubby belly and big upper arms (thanks for that Mum). It's so nice to finally find out there's a name for this shape and it's different to any other. The fashion tips were really helpful too - I laughed when I realised I already do all of the things listed!

    Proud to be part of the Club of Sexy Spooners!! :D

    I would consider a spoon, the guys in the gym who think every day is upper body day. That or a light bulb.
