Well done ladies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-1#post-23522 Wed, 03 Sep 2008 23:25:42 +0000 anne 23522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just wanted to say Hi Shana! I also have an 8 month old baby! I agree with the "goblet" definition which is kind of a subset of inverted triangle </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-1#post-23503 Wed, 03 Sep 2008 19:49:39 +0000 shana 23503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone for your replies. No, I don't think I've ever had a defined waist per se. Even when my abs were tight and my belly flat, I didn't have that indentation that women with tiny waists and hips that flare out seem to have. What makes it hard is that I have a short waist too so my natural waist is just a few inches below my chest! Pre-pregnancy, my measurements were: 28-29 in waist and 35-36 in the hips. Right now, my waist is about 30 inches and my hips are about 37 (but that includes the belly flap - the mother's apron as Shiny refers to it). Oh, and I used to have a cute little butt which is now flat as a pancake! It's amazing what havoc pregnancy &#38; childbirth wrecks on your body!!! </p> <p>I actually think Trinny &#38; Susannah's definition of the "goblet" makes alot of sense for me: Broad shoulders, Big boobs, No waist, Narrow hips and Long legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-1#post-23498 Wed, 03 Sep 2008 19:03:33 +0000 Becky 23498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome, Shana. Based on the pics, I'm going to say you might be an inverted triangle with apple tendencies. You look great! Love your hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-1#post-23497 Wed, 03 Sep 2008 19:02:56 +0000 Anonymous 23497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome, Shana, and congratulations on the little one! I'm no expert, but it looks like your shoulders are the widest part of your body and pretty straight as opposed to sloping That together with taking a bigger size on top would tend toward an inverted triangle. Before pregnancy did you have a defined waist? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-1#post-23495 Wed, 03 Sep 2008 18:19:14 +0000 shana 23495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oops, forgot the link.

I know there are many here who are excellent at determining body shapes, but I don't see any pictures posted. Try again? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-1#post-23492 Wed, 03 Sep 2008 18:03:07 +0000 shana 23492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all,</p> <p>I just posted in tbe who's who thread introducing myself. I think I am an apple or possibly an inverted triangle (maybe an apple with inverted triangle tendencies???). Right now, I am still working off some of the baby flab (baby is 8 months) so I am even more apple-y than normal. Pictures are below. I am petite and have a fairly large chest (currently a 36F although I was a 34D before I got pregnant this time). I tend to accumulate weight on my belly and as I workout and lose weight, my legs, hips &#38; thighs get smaller &#38; smaller and my upper half stays proportionately bigger. Right now, I am wearing a 10P on top and an 8p or 6 on the bottom (depending on the store). </p> <p>What confuses me about the whole inverted triangle description is that I don't think I have broad shoulders but I do have a broad back which makes me look trianglish on top. I also have heavy upper arms that never seem to shrink no matter how much I work out. 3/4 sleeve tops are my friends!!!</p> <p>So what do you all think????</p> <p>Shana </p>
