tall girls with broad shoulders and no hips?

I think the body shape is called an "apple" but I may actually be considered a "banana" - I have no curves. I have no hips. I have no defined waist. The only reason why my chest measurement is so large is because of my boobs and under-arm fat. Does anyone else have a similar body shape? If so, I'd love to be MFP friends so we can follow each others' progress and see photos.

    I do!! I always said I was a "carrot" shape... broad shoulders on top and tapered on down to my toes. Haha! :-) Feel free to add me!

    Sorry, I don't. I had a ten pound baby 4 years ago. That doomed my hips for life. LOL.

    A bit late to be replying to this post I suppose, but I am the same (no hips, small bum, thickish waist and big chest). I think the correct term is a "reverse triangle". I have major problems buying dresses as if they fits over the chest they end up being baggy across the hips. The up side is that I have slim legs and look good in jeans.

    My friends call me no butt. I always joke if I could do a gut to but transplant I'd be set. :laugh: I'd definitely like to be friends, send me a request if you'd like.:bigsmile:

    I'm the opposite. I have relatively narrow shoulders with big hips, big boobs, and small waist... classic hourglass, I guess, but my shoulders are more narrow, my arms are shorter, and my hands and feet are smaller than what makes sense for anyone my height.

    Oh my gosh, I found my group! I'm the reverse triangle, carrot, whatever you want to call it. I have very wide shoulders, bigger boobs, large waist and not hips/butt. And very skinny legs. Friend me if you want!

    My college roommate called it BIF--Butt-in-Front!
  • My own father has dubbed me "sans butt" and likes to bring that up in front of other family members...I would be more offended but it's so true...

    My friend referred to it as a Coke bottle shape. I'm so happy there are others like me. I should have been a leg model :) I told my husband if I ever had cankles I would have to weigh over 1,000 pounds. Of course by then, my boobs would confine me to a very large room. Unfortunately, my husband doesn't mind so much when I have extra weight because of where I gain it. I totally relate to the dress issue. I can't remember the last time I was happy with the way I look in a dress. Or a button up shirt tucked in...

    Yep, I am an inverted triangle. I have broad shoulders and a big chest but no hips whatsoever. And yes, I gain most of my weight in my stomach.
  • I'm not alone!!! haha, I don't really like my shape that much because I can't wear strapless dresses without looking like I have man shoulders! but I can't complain about my big boobs and long legs. I just wish I had some sort of defined waist and a longer torso!!!
