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

    Same question for butt implants.

    You have butt implants?

    How do we really know YOU'RE an hourglass? Is this a test?

    You may be an hourglass now, but the way it usually works you'll be a pear for a while. As you lose, the bust goes down faster (hopefully only at first...:cry: ). I've lost inches 2x as fast in my chest as my hips....
    Unless you are a freak of nature like me, in which case you might actually go UP a cup size before all is said and done (I started as a 44F, after shedding 125 pounds, I am a 32G):sad:

    Well its not really that you went UP a cup..you went down in band and up in cup. If you reversed the two (buy a bigger band and a smaller cup) it would transpose.
    Technically, what happened is that my band measurements shrunk more than my "girls" did, so I went up a cup size. I can get away with a 34DDD - which is essentially a 34F - but that still means I maintained my girls instead of lost them like most women.
    And I am sure there are women who would love to trade me, but they have probably never tried to shop for 32G bras, nor have they been literally hit in the face when running in a badly-fitting bra. lol

    You are not the only one. Methinks you were like me and were probably squeezing yourself in the wrong size. I was wearing a 42G and when I got fitted back in May went to a 36K. I believe I've been wearing the wrong size ALL MY LIFE as I'm in a 36 now and was wearing a 36 when I was 80 lbs lighter than this. As long as the girls look good, who cares about the size! (well most men I'll give you!).

    This is what happened for me. Praise Alllah!

    Heck, different shapes have different workouts they should do an should avoid.

    This is inaccurate.

    I'm glad I'm not the only person who thought so.......

    I know! I was so excited when I bought a bra in a 36DD and though it was just really comfortable, even if it didn't provide fantastic support... then I went and got fitted and almost cried when the lady who measured me told me I should be wearing a 32G.

    I am a "true" hourglass, 32DD(which equates to 38")-30"-38" and I am a mesomorph. I do know that I have always been able to lose (or gain!) weight quickly if I put my mind to it and I gain evenly (meaning all over not just one area). I'm hoping to keep my shape as I lose these last few.

    then why are there tons of articles like this on the internet and some from more legitimate sites than others? http://www.livestrong.com/article/342092-the-best-exercises-for-body-shape/

    Anyone out there shaped like a Bulova? I mean a TRUE Bulova. Not a knockoff, not a Timex, but a true Bulova.

    No, but I am shaped like a Cory Ida, which is probably a good thing, since that's what (umm... I mean who) I am.

    You have butt implants?

    I would cry. A lot. Then call a plastic surgeon. :) But that's me. I'm so tired of the dents in my shoulders and upper back pain, these things have got to GO.

    I am an hour glass and like another poster said, you don't lose weight faster with a certain body shape but it can be more noticeable. When I used to weigh less than 140 I looked gross whereas a woman the same height with a different body shape can weigh the same and look chunky.

    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.
    By this definition, I am an hourglass. I have broad shoulders and hips and my waist is 11 inches smaller than my hips. But, I don't know if I am a "true" hourglass. I am also very much a mesomorph. But, no, I don't lose weight particularly easily or quickly.

    I'm not trying to put down any other shapes, so please don't get mad at me for asking about only one particular shape, I just wanted to know based on the same shape that I have. Heck, different shapes have different workouts they should do an should avoid. Like I said, I had read about the weight gain/loss for hourglasses as being quick in areas about what exercises are best for hourglass shapes. I would not respond to all the "pear" shape threads or "apple" shape threads or "ruler" shape threads because I am not those shapes.

    Since when do we avoid exercises based on shape? Like... I'm a pear so I should avoid working out my butt? If that's what you mean- that's utterly stupid. All muscles should be engaged so that you're healthy and balanced. totally ridiculous


    EDIT: I just read that article and it was... stupid. You can't pick where your fat is lost, it just comes off. SO, if I want to lose my pear butt... I'm going to do the same darned things as someone who wants to lose their giant boobs or big o'l gut.

    I'm losing about a pound a week. My stomach is not losing as fast as the rest of me though, so my hourglass is a bit round at the moment.

    Large and round in the middle? Why yes, that's me.
