    Most of the time apple shapes are just chubbier hour glasses....you just tend to carry the fat around your belly.But if you lose weight you'll probably be more hourglassy

    Nope.

    OP you look like an Apple shape to me. It just means you carry your weight around your middle which probably means it'll be the last place it comes off. It shouldn't make it harder to lose weight though.

    Body shape is a funny thing. I used a body shape calculator recently, after years of people telling me im an hourglass or pear...nope. At 38-30-40 I'm a banana. I'm not sure what that means (I'm vaguely crescent shapped? Yellow? Prone to peeling?) But it means little. At the end of the day i still dress my chest first, lol.

    Really? Your measurements look distinctly hourglass.

    they are close enough to hourglass to mean she might have some success dressing like an hourglass, but no, they are not actually hourglass.
    The hourglass requirements are 10 inches minimum between bust and waist and hips and waist.
    for many of us, the measurements are much more than 10 inches apart, but 10 is the standard minimum.

    Its because my bust is less than 9 inches wider than my waist. Though for fun i just plugged myself into http://www.calculator.net/body-type-calculator.html and was told i didn't match anything.

    I also get rectangle, which is amusing because both banana and rectangle use "little wait definition" as a descriptor and that's just not true. My waist is always much smaller than my hips and bust. :laugh: that's why i say body shape is funny.

    I'm a rectangle (ruler, banana, whatever) and at 5'7", 180 pounds, my measurements were 41-40-41. I had slender legs, a smallish butt, and a spare tire large enough to fit a dump truck. Now at 123 pounds and 36-30-36 there's still only a 6" difference between my waist and the other measurements, and that's after lifting weights in an effort to grow a butt and chest muscles to give an illusion of a well defined waist. I'd have to have some ribs removed to qualify as an hourglass.

    OP, you could be a rectangle but look more like an apple to me. From what I've been able to gather both types tend to pack any excess fat on their torsos, the main difference being that apples have a higher center of gravity. Rectangles are straight up and down and proportionately thick in the middle at whatever weight.
