And Khris, because I've not been on the forum for a while I haven't seen your photos in a few months. You have lost so much weight, your figure is gorgeous, you look fantastic. Please appreciate how your hard work has paid off! Maybe you feel bad because of a small change but look at some of your pictures from a year ago to remind yourself how far you've come. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-shape-humor-me#post-180591 Wed, 07 Jul 2010 20:10:16 +0000 Carole 180591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I have noticed how beautiful and slender you are and how great you look in your outfits. Maybe you need a new mirror! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-shape-humor-me#post-180588 Wed, 07 Jul 2010 20:04:49 +0000 fathenry 180588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm late to this but just wanted to chime in and say how fit and lovely your figure looks! You look like a beautiful hourglass to me too.</p> <p>I can relate to your frustration. Dresses, skirts, shorts and tops have been a huge hassle this season. Part of it is the selection I think. Tissue weight shirts, short flouncy skirts and dresses, skimpy straps - all widely available at my low price point and all big nos for me. And they make me feel flabby because they are so skimpy. </p> <p>Also - have you become a lot more selective thanks to YLF? I know I have - now I want everything to be Killer, no compromises but also takes more effort! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-shape-humor-me#post-180527 Wed, 07 Jul 2010 17:29:24 +0000 Sarah 180527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know if it's the same for you, Khris, but I was shocked how much harder I was on my body after the bulk of the weight was gone. But do you know why? It was because I could actually see individual parts. No longer was I saying "I'm such a fat blob" but I was saying "my bum is a pancake, my upper thighs are still so jiggly" and so on. But these are things I couldn't even see before.<br /> So while being overly critical of your body isn't good, realize that you're criticizing it differently. You are definitely smaller and I bet your body is just getting ready to start another phase in weight loss. I always got the most discouraged right before a huge break through.<br /> So keep your chin up and keep looking as fab as you do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-shape-humor-me#post-180525 Wed, 07 Jul 2010 17:21:27 +0000 Angie 180525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's definitely all in your head. Your desert heat is debilitating though. </p> <p>You have never looked better on this forum then you do right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-shape-humor-me#post-180501 Wed, 07 Jul 2010 16:46:27 +0000 chewyspaghetti 180501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know if it's the weather, the available clothing, the actual changes in my body or all in my head (a little of everything probably). Honestly, I feel like a big fat cow most days right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-shape-humor-me#post-180423 Wed, 07 Jul 2010 10:41:25 +0000 crwilson 180423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not very good at body shapes, but I definitely think hourglass. I think that this season's dresses are hard to wear, though I think I might be in the minority in this view. A lot of them have unflattering gathering at inopportune areas, or straps that are too small, etc. I wonder if that plays into your difficulty finding clothes right now? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-shape-humor-me#post-180415 Wed, 07 Jul 2010 09:59:17 +0000 Katiepea 180415@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh thank goodness everyone agrees, I look at your photo and thought "what would I say?" before I peeked at everyone else. I noticed your gorgeous hourglass shape and a very pretty shoulder line I must say. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-shape-humor-me#post-180351 Wed, 07 Jul 2010 03:18:04 +0000 florida 180351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hourglass all the way. You look strong and healthy--hope you feel that way, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-shape-humor-me#post-180247 Tue, 06 Jul 2010 23:13:08 +0000 Angie 180247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very hourglass-y :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-shape-humor-me#post-180211 Tue, 06 Jul 2010 22:20:33 +0000 puffenstuff 180211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Khris you have almost the same shape as me - I sometimes feel like I may be a bit pear like on the bottom half with the shapely legs. Maybe have a squiz at Angie's guidelines for the pretty pear and give something a crack? </p> <p>The other thing I remember from our summer time was me having a panic attack because it was so hot and I felt uncomfortable in everything. I felt like I had no options and stuggled layering with necklaces. I know you posted recently about your dress struggles but I dont recall if you got yourself some good options - maybe that's something that's making you feel not so fab? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-shape-humor-me#post-180206 Tue, 06 Jul 2010 22:10:15 +0000 chewyspaghetti 180206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Julie- yes I am short waisted and long in the rise, but that's nothing new.</p> <p>Oh and the top is not loose- that's really as far as my waist goes in now. That's what I mean- it's changed </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-shape-humor-me#post-180190 Tue, 06 Jul 2010 20:39:41 +0000 AJ 180190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, pretty waistline! I too think that your rise is long but your torso may not be. Are skirts and pants frustrating you more than tops?</p> <p>How about experimenting with medium width belts to create a sleeker torso yet under the belt, the top blouses over the lower abs? Also play around with leg lengthening silhouettes. How does that sound? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-shape-humor-me#post-180181 Tue, 06 Jul 2010 20:25:49 +0000 NK 180181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm seeing hourglass too. I think you upper and lower halves are balancing each other out, and your waist seems pretty defined to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-shape-humor-me#post-180139 Tue, 06 Jul 2010 18:19:36 +0000 RoseandJoan 180139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the above, you look like a beautiful hourglass to me, do you think you may be shorter to the waist and longer in the rise Khris? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-shape-humor-me#post-180110 Tue, 06 Jul 2010 17:13:54 +0000 greenglove 180110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look like an hourglass- just beautiful. I think if the top were more fitted we could see it more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-shape-humor-me#post-180109 Tue, 06 Jul 2010 17:13:52 +0000 Anonymous 180109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You also look like an hourglasss to me and have a pretty shape, but I understand the body change issue. For about 4 months my weight hasn't changed but I seem to have more at the low hip/thigh and maybe a bit less at the waist. I feel like I've gone from apple to rectangle and maybe now to pear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-shape-humor-me#post-180105 Tue, 06 Jul 2010 17:08:48 +0000 Itari 180105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Still a hourglass, I guess. I think you might have lost your apple tendencies, though. It's hard to tell from the photos. Oh, and your shoulders are beautiful, I wish they were mine </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-shape-humor-me#post-180103 Tue, 06 Jul 2010 17:04:16 +0000 Sparky 180103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You still look like an hour glass to me, but I'm the opposite of expert. It's also a little hard for me to see your waist as the top you're wearing is a bit loose. </p> <p>You have a lovely shape, BTW! I hope you start finding new things that make you feel fab </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-shape-humor-me#post-180097 Tue, 06 Jul 2010 16:51:26 +0000 chewyspaghetti 180097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been having such a difficult time lately finding anything that makes me feel fab. I feel like my body has changed again, but not sure if it's a true shape change. I took a couple of pictures myself- not great, but I hope they work (I can take more if needed). My waist is not so pronounced anymore, but I feel like my lower half is.</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chewyspaghetti/4767867599/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/c.....767867599/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chewyspaghetti/4768506430/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/c.....768506430/</a></p> <p>What do you ladies think? </p>
