So my boyfriends mother and I are trying to lose weight. I noticed that she doesn't really have a gut like I do, but has HUGE hips. I asked her about it and she said it's because she is pear shaped and I am more an apple shape. So I went home and looked it up.

    I am such a pear lol. But I think I have the potential to move more towards the hourglass side :)

    I've always been a pear, even as a skinny teenager, but I think I might leaning towards hourglass now. My shoulders and hips are about the same width.

    Pear.

    I have to buy pants to fit around my bottom that are too big in the waist. I have a small top half. My biggest complaint about my body is my butt is too big to have boobs this small. :happy:

    It's an interesting article, but leads to confusion for me. Before I lost weight, I qualified as an apple. Now, I am definitely pear-shaped by the article's definition. I apparently lose and gain weight around my waist quickly. But I don't really lose off of my hips, which is why my ratio changed drastically in just 23 lbs. I went from .857 to .716. :\

    I'm technically an apple, but I feel like I'm a little bit of both, since my weight gain area is from below my chest to my thighs..... When I was skinny, I was a pear..... Can't wait to get back there!

    A small pair. My hips/butt is getting a lot firmer and smaller. Seems to be all in my mid section as you can tell in my default photo.

    Apple! The best thing about getting overweight is I finally have a butt!

    I use to be an apple (all my weight or lots of it in the belly)
    I'm turning into an hourglass yaaahh

    I am an apple, but I used to be a pumpkin.

    This is actually an important question. People who have apple shapes and gain weight around their mid-section are much more prone to heart disease and other health concerns than people who gain weight in their hips and bottom.
