    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 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.

    Banana - Hips and chest measurements close to the same, poorly defined waist even when thin, slender legs. Excess fat goes to my belly first, then upper hips and midsection, then continues up the torso. Not much flab goes to my butt, and I've never had problems with my thighs. Not even cellulite goes there.

    Pear! Got some junk in the trunk :laugh:

    I've always carried my weight in my legs and tushy- that was part of realizing that I needed to start working on it- when I start gaining weight in my tummy!

    Apple. I tend to store fat directly on my tummy! However, I wouldn't change my shape because when I am fit I look lean and athletic! I should add that since giving birth my hips are a bit wider so I'm really excited to see if my hips will balance out my broad shoulders once I get back down to pre-pregnancy weight. =)

    Thanks for posting that link!1 It confuses me though- I'm closest to hourglass according to their definition but only 8% of women are? so I guess I'm best described as a pear

    They say 46% of women are bananas, which confused me. If a plurality of women are built like I am, then why is it so difficult to find anything that fits my thick natural waist without being way too big everywhere else? Love mid and low rise jeans - I can actually buy some that don't look like they were made by Omar the Tent Maker.

    I'm hourglass.
    I don't have big boobs nor do I have a big butt. But my waist is defined. My chest and hips measure almost the same.

    The cool thing is I lose weight everywhere and I don't have "problem areas". But I also gain weight everywhere, my arms, stomach, fingers, whatever!
