    Would you like me to post my picture so you can tell me if I am a "true hour glass" or a pseudo hour glass?

    what I have read is an hourglass figure is determined by your chest measurements being the same as your hip measurements and that your chest be 6 inches from your waist and that your waist be 6 inches from your hips, I am not sure how many women fall into this category but I think a lot of women have an hourglass looking shape without fitting what is considered to be "true"
    Anyhow I don't think that there is a whole lot of validity to your question about quicker weight loss for women who have these dimensions. :smile:

    What if you have plastic surgery to increase your bust? Then do you count as an hourglass?

    Same question for butt implants.

    Don't know if this is helpful, but...

    Found this on superskinnyme.com:

    Hourglass Body Shape
    •Well-proportioned upper and lower body.
    •Shoulders and hips (almost) same size
    •Dramatic indentation (> 6″) at waistline
    •Tend to gain weight all over your body, especially hip and chest area.
    •Tend to be endomorphs or mesomorphs.
    •Strictly female shape.
    •E.g. 32-26-33, 33-27-35, 36-30-38.

    Then I found this on epigee.org:

    •Mesomorphs: Mesomorphs are usually described as having an athletic build. They often have an hourglass or ruler shape, and gain muscle mass easily. The majority of mesomorphs have broad shoulders and a narrow waist. They have a fast metabolism and can lose weight more easily than endomorphs.

    Don't know much about these sources, but I thought it would help the discussion.

    Continue.

    I am an hourglass. I don't think I shed weight more quickly than others because of my shape. I think I shed weight at the pace I did because I was consistent and worked hard every single day to get healthy.

    I'm 5'10" and my measurements are
    (Chest / Waist / Hips)
    39 / 27.5 / 37.5

    Indeed, how does that work? Everyone form a line to the left. Those judged to be true will be deemed free to post. Frauds and fakers can p!ss off.

    i'm a true hourglass by your definition. 10" difference in bust/hip and waist measurement and only 1 measly inch from being exact bust and hip measurement.

    i can't see your figure, but there are several views of mine in my photo album.

    and might i say, as a "true hourglass figure" that this post is a bit pretentious and a lot frivolous in my humble opinion.

    in answer to your question: we may APPEAR to lose or gain weight quickly, but as a friend once said - you earn the body you have.

    I'm an hourglass and am dropping weight relatively fast and was wondering if any other true hour glasses have experienced the same? I had read that our shape gains and loses the fastest and want to see how true it is. So,please, if you are not a true hourglass shape (and many on here who claim to be, when looking at their pictures clearly aren't) refrain from commenting if you can.

    Thank you

    I don't think you meant this to come off rude, (as it did) but to answer you question (no I'm not hour glass, I'm a big booty girl with a tiny upper body) your shape has zero impact on how quickly you gain or lose weight. Things that DO impact it are mostly out of your control (Ie genetics coding many things including how often your body releases hormones that regulate appetite and hunger) with some baring on metabolism (which is also partly controlled by genetics as well).

    I was an hour glass when heavy and breast feeding, now I'm a pear. I have 11inches between my waist and hips, but only 5 inches between my waist and bust. :(
