I lurked for a long time here as well. However, I have yet to post photos. Seeing folks like yourself, delurk and immediately post photos reminds me that I just need to figure out how to use our camera and get photos posted. Having watched others, I know that posting photos is immensely helpful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-question-2#post-179621 Mon, 05 Jul 2010 04:34:29 +0000 taylor 179621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome from me too!!<br /> thanks for taking the leap and posting!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-question-2#post-179568 Mon, 05 Jul 2010 01:20:26 +0000 Debora 179568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another big welcome from me, Firefly! I must be getting better at this, because my first guess was hourglass. Love your user name, by the way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-question-2#post-179567 Mon, 05 Jul 2010 01:11:37 +0000 Lisa 179567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome Firefly! *waving hello* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-question-2#post-179565 Mon, 05 Jul 2010 00:58:19 +0000 MNsara 179565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome, firefly! I don't offer body type guidance, but love to read what the experts say - I'm still learning. Way to go -- to get right in there and over the posting hurdle! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-question-2#post-179564 Mon, 05 Jul 2010 00:49:57 +0000 firefly 179564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the replies and welcomes! Yes it was a bit intimidating posting such candid shots of myself, but it's better than groping around in ignorance. </p> <p>I think in the past I would always have said pear; it's only since reading your blog on body types that I started to think hourglass but perhaps with pear tendencies. Certainly if I put on weight I do notice it most on my hips and thighs. I think I have a short waist and relatively long neck too. However it's hard to be objective about yourself, which is why I'm soliciting opinions :-)</p> <p>By the way, if anyone suffers from insomnia I've posted an essay on the Who's Who thread. I'm still not sure how the post got to be so long! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-question-2#post-179542 Sun, 04 Jul 2010 23:35:38 +0000 Angie 179542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another welcome from me and it's wonderful that you plucked up the courage to post pictures!</p> <p>I echo the hourglass vote. Is that what you would have guessed too? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-question-2#post-179519 Sun, 04 Jul 2010 21:48:33 +0000 Kate 179519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome! I vote hourglass. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-question-2#post-179515 Sun, 04 Jul 2010 21:32:59 +0000 Louise 179515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll leave the bodyshape decisions to the others as it's not my strong point, but want ed to welcome you to the forum and congratulate you for delurking and posting a bodyshot x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/body-type-question-2#post-179514 Sun, 04 Jul 2010 21:28:22 +0000 firefly 179514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all, I'm new to the forum. I would say "be gentle" but having lurked for a while I already know what a lovely bunch you are :-)</p> <p>I'd like some opinions on what my body type might be. I'm 5'2", about 120 lbs, 35-29-39, and bra size 30E (I think I do have the correct bra size, having perused Maya's excellent thread). I think that I'm a mixture between hourglass and pear, though I'm not sure which one predominates. I also think that I have a short waist, although again I'd be happy to hear opinions.</p> <p><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/117083071125863185464/Me?authkey=Gv1sRgCJP647etzKSvggE#5490158587986566226" rel="nofollow">http://picasaweb.google.com/11.....7986566226</a></p> <p><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/117083071125863185464/Me?authkey=Gv1sRgCJP647etzKSvggE#5490158596704493922" rel="nofollow">http://picasaweb.google.com/11.....6704493922</a> </p> <p>Sorry the photos seem to have come out a bit dark; I'll retake them if they're too hard to see.
