Forgive me because I am wearing a tight shirt. Kinda gross. But anywho I have never been able to tell what body shape I have. Like hourglass, Pear, Apple, and whatever else there may be. I think there are more than 3 types. But anywho, what do ya'll think I am closest to? I feel like I am just straight up and down with no shape. ):

Well, for the first picture you may have to go to the direct link. I think the photo is too big. http://i1159.photobucket.com/albums/p629/Heagler870/DSC_1420.jpg

    It's hard to tell with the front, there are a lot of "What size am I?" type things on the internet you might want to try to look at. Here's one I found that take your measurements, so it's prob going to give you a good idea!

    Hope this helps! Good Luck! :)

    I would say you look like an apple, i.e you have more weight in your chest and stomach than in your legs and bum :) I am the opposite, Pear pear pear :)

    Apple even though ur legs are thick they look muscular (not in a manly way) but u look like me tend to gain weight all over but mainly on the gut :) carbs need to be monitored the white stuff is horrible stick to healthy carbs :)

    I agree and I think being an apple would be nice. I lose from my stomach easy but oh man my thighs are holding on Neil the bitter end!

    There is actually a fourth type, banana or ruler I think they call it. It is a shape with little difference between the three measurement spots.

    i would go for apple as well. Do you feel bigger on your top then bottom? I am the opposite so I am a pear. I think hourglass come is at the waiste and rectangle doesn't change. That is all i know thouhg...

    Apple, like me! Lots and lots of water and exercises that rip your waist and sides apart like oblique twists and side jacks :)

    Maybe it's just the red shirt, but I think apple? I also see great potential for an hourglass figure :)

    I'm going to forgo that comment you made about being "gross" because you should have more confidence in yourself to say that about yourself. Anyways, I'll say Apple for sure. In the end, it doesn't matter. You're going to eat right, exercise, and develop yourself on the outside to be the person that's on the inside (unless the inside is ugly, lol). Good luck!

    Yes, I do carry most of my weight in my gut. Typically The fat from my legs is the first to come off

    I'm in the same boat, although mine gets more complicated. Even without any real weight change, in the span of a month I'm an apple, an hourglass, a rectangle, and occassionly slightly pearish. No wonder i can't get clothes that fit me properly. I had lost probably at least ten pounds (no scale then) last year and while losing it I kept changing shapes.

    I think that for most overweight people the default shape is apple (unless you're super lucky and have awesome genes that give you an hourglass shape). Once you lose a bit of weight your shape becomes a bit more defined. I was convinced I was an apple for ages, but once I dropped quite a bit of weight I did that shape calculator and it turns out I'm actually a pear! :tongue:

    ^ yup apple you might have to do ab work a lot I do it almost daily n lots of cardio too the good thing is apple bodies usually lose the gut faster than pears trimming layers off their thighs supposedly gut fat n leg fat is different but either way ur gonna feel amazing n become healthy so no yuck or gross comments about ur body ur beautiful ...u can do anything work hard it's worth it :smile:

    I would say apple ....we all have issue with our body types.I could never be an apple, dont have the boobs for that, but do have the butt and hips for a pear shape.
