    Haha, can you be none of the above? I am basically straight up and down, proportionate body....I used to think I was hour glass when I weighed more, now I am seeing that my hips and waist are really not too different. I think there is a 3 inch difference between my waist and hips. I am trying to change that with heavy lifting! :)

    Ruler

    All three measurements tend to be relatively close with no significant differences between your chest, waist, and hips
    Common measurements: 34-30-35, 36-33-37, or 40-36-42 (notice how there is less than a 5-inch difference between any of the measurements)

    Hourglass so proportionate and neither are on the small side so I look bigger no matter what.

    I'm a pear. My hips and butt are very curvy. However, when I lose weight I'll probably acquire the elusive thigh gap because of how big my hips are. Also, I truly believe all body shapes are beautiful. Picking an "ideal" is just not right.

    I am an hourglass :)
    Big hips, teeny waist, broad shoulders.
    I wish I could say 'big boobs' instead of 'broad shoulders' but nooo, a handful was all that was allotted to me :( Haha

    Hourglass. At one point my chest and hip measurements were almost identical, and my waist is quite a bit smaller.

    I'm a ruler. LOL - I wondered why I could never figure out my shape. I never saw myself as an hourglass, or pear, or apple. I am literally a 46-46-46. I must be one of those fat rulers they give to kindergartners. :)

    My shoulders and hips are close to the same size (when there's not extra weight on them), but my belly is super round, which makes me think I'm an apple? But I also have a smaller waist (again, when there's not extra weight on it)...so...awkwardly shaped hour glass?

    Curvy Banana? 35-26-36

    My 36 isnt hips, its butt. Haha

    *Edit

    Apparently I am an hour-glass? Don't really look like it. I would still consider myself a banana-ish shape. I do NOT have big hips or even slightly big hips. They are very average. My butt just POPS. Hahaha I am also pretty wide in the waist IMO.

    I used to see myself as a pear when I was actually an hour glass (36-24-36), possibly due to my muscular, curvy legs and butt and stupid brain :laugh:

    Now I see myself as an apple, because, since my son, my waist has ballooned. At my heaviest, it was 2 sizes bigger than my hips or top, but now it's only one size bigger.

    However, I love the following:

    The measurements between the chest and hips are relatively close
    There is at least a 6-inch difference between your chest /hips and waist.
    Common measurements: 33-26-33, 36-30,38, 34-28-35, 39-32-38, or 42-35-44 (notice how there is less than 3-inch difference between the chest and hips)

    It thinks that I'm an hourglass at 36-28-37! Maybe I'm just as stupid thinking I'm an apple now as I was thinking I was a pear then :laugh:

    I love my body right now, though. I might work on that tummy someday, but I'm not really keen on losing my boobs over it :wink:

    I'm a pear but not a heavy bottom pear. I'm more like the Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce pears not some other women you may see who carry most of their weight in their bottom. I gain all over with a heavier booty is all. ;-)

    I know I am definitely an hourglass. I tend to have a little waist and my hips and chest are almost the same size. Now that I've had a baby, I know my middle isn't as small as it used to be, but hey, I gotta work on it!

    My body shape is beautiful, just like each and every person on here! :-)

    That being said, I'm pear shaped. I'm half japanese and my friend told me I'm Japanese from the waist up and white from the waist down, lol. I'm usually a size smaller on top than on the bottom.

    That's awesome! I love it. I am an hourglass (36-29-37). I appreciate my shape, but I also tend to love pears. Hey, I love hippy girls. And actually, so does my husband. One of the most gorgeous girls I know is a very distinct pear. She's got guys fawning all over her every time she walks into a room.

    I don't think body shape really matters, so long as you are comfortable and you flaunt it.

    None of the above. More like a duck. My booty and tummy are running a race and the tummy is winning. Not a good look. smh

    I am a total hourglass shape now...I don't know what I was before. My measurements are 37.5, 33, 37.5 - I have a true woman's figure. I think I have always been hourglass, just more defined now.
