You made me laught! What a great way to diet! I must hire 4 teenagers to eat all my food! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-i-have-a-sneaking-suspicion#post-162759 Thu, 27 May 2010 14:02:43 +0000 Queen Mum 162759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you guys are too funny. Thanks for the diagnosis Angie, and thanks all for the boost of confidence.</p> <p>Laura- I couldn't come up with the word I was thinking of so had to make one up ;-)</p> <p>Crazyone- I was kindof thinking the same thing... Do anyones shoulders' actually line up exactly with their hips? I guess for some maybe but it seems more likely that with your arms to your side your shoulders are going to be a bit wider... and I couldn't figure out where the shoulder line is..... I know, I overthink things.</p> <p>San- I'm not sure which I perceive as happening... it's probably all in my head, but when I caught a glimpse of my back from behind my first thought was that maybe I shouldn't be doing push- ups. A trainer once told me that if you do push-ups a certain way you can broaden your shoulders, so I've been paranoid ever since.</p> <p>Kelly- yes, I saw Imogenes post, which is what got me thinking even more about it. That first V picture she posted looked quite close to my body I thought. </p> <p>And, with 4 teenagers in the house it's not all that hard to stay in shape as they eat all the good food before I ever get a chance. (although last night I stumbled across some chocolate that I had hidden and forgot about ;-0</p> <p>You guys are just all so kind... thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-i-have-a-sneaking-suspicion#post-162620 Thu, 27 May 2010 03:50:23 +0000 Lisa 162620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I third Marianna's assessment.

I can barely see IT tendencies, but they are ever so slightly there. You'd look AMAZING in strapless styles. </p> <p>You had four babies with that body. You need to be featured in the Guinness book of World Records. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-i-have-a-sneaking-suspicion#post-162492 Wed, 26 May 2010 23:38:22 +0000 marianna 162492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote that your body type is Enviable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-i-have-a-sneaking-suspicion#post-162486 Wed, 26 May 2010 23:06:55 +0000 Rosie 162486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kim, I have no clue, but you look great whatever you are. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-i-have-a-sneaking-suspicion#post-162386 Wed, 26 May 2010 19:37:35 +0000 kellygirl 162386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did you read Imogen's latest post on the V shape? She showed some pictures of real life inverted triangles that might be helpful to you. It's hard to tell from your picture but it appears that your the line where your arm meets your body (at the armpit) is even with your hips. That makes me think you are tending toward an IT. I'd say IT with a waist! I'm green with envy over that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-i-have-a-sneaking-suspicion#post-162383 Wed, 26 May 2010 19:22:35 +0000 DressLover 162383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a sneaking suspicion... you have a great shape no matter what piece of fruit or geometric shape you are! You are probably hourglass, primary, IT, secondary. </p> <p>I think knowing one's body shape is a roadmap to dressing one's body well. You already know what works well and what doesn't so I don't think knowing an exact shape is critical. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-i-have-a-sneaking-suspicion#post-162376 Wed, 26 May 2010 19:08:34 +0000 crazyone 162376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>queenie, I actually think many hourglasses have shoulders that are slightly wider than their hips, the ones who don't have pearish tendencies Very few people must have hips and shoulders the exact same measurement... Maybe you're right that you'll turn into an inverted triangle eventually, but I don't think you're serving yourself wrongly at all by wearing hourglass-tailored clothing. And no one would ever say of you "if she's an hourglass, then I'm the Queen of Sheba" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-i-have-a-sneaking-suspicion#post-162374 Wed, 26 May 2010 19:06:51 +0000 Anonymous 162374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you feel your hips are getting slimmer or your shoulders are becoming more broad? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-i-have-a-sneaking-suspicion#post-162370 Wed, 26 May 2010 18:59:55 +0000 Laura 162370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Snitchety! LOL!</p> <p>Yes, your shoulders *do* look a tiny bit bigger than your hips. And if they measure that way too, that officially makes you an IT, doesn't it? How about "IT with hourglass tendencies"? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-i-have-a-sneaking-suspicion#post-162364 Wed, 26 May 2010 18:50:49 +0000 Queen Mum 162364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>but if you measure across my shoulders they are wider than my hips. Not sure how much wider they need to be to classify. And really I don't need to be fretting... I know what works for me and what doesn't, but I don't want to misrepresent myself and have people thinking "ha, she thinks she's an hourglass? ... if she's an hourglass then I am the queen of Sheba" Not that anyone here would ever have a thought so snitchety as that ;-0 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-i-have-a-sneaking-suspicion#post-162347 Wed, 26 May 2010 18:36:26 +0000 Itari 162347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your body is great! I think you're still a hourglass with no IT tendencies so far. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-i-have-a-sneaking-suspicion#post-162343 Wed, 26 May 2010 18:29:23 +0000 taylor 162343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have no idea about this shape thing...Angie had to diagnose me. ")</p> <p>But, just had to say how utterly beautiful you are and a killer shape too boot...whatever it may be! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-i-have-a-sneaking-suspicion#post-162339 Wed, 26 May 2010 18:18:25 +0000 Queen Mum 162339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I pretty much declared myself an hourglass by process of elimination and knowing what works for me and what doesn't. I know I'm not a pear, rectangle, or apple. And I didn't think I was an IT because I think of IT's as being very broad shoulder and big busted. I''m realizing that is not the case though. I have been catching a glimpse of my back side in the mirror lately and noticing that from the back my shoulders and upper back are looking broad. I'm wondering if age is doing this to me. My grandmother is very much an IT but I don't think she has been all of her life, and I'm noticing my mom getting more top heavy structure wise. I must say I'm not happy about this revelation, but can't do much about what happens to my body shape.</p> <p>So, rather than continue on in blind ignorance, what would you classify me as?</p> <p><a href="http://i959.photobucket.com/albums/ae79/kah65/IMG_2576.jpg?1274897431" rel="nofollow">http://i959.photobucket.com/al.....1274897431</a><br /> I have a baby asleep in my room, so had to pop this top on from the laundry room... I hope it's fitted enough. </p>
