Congratulations on the successful weight loss program you've been on. Keep up the good work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brave-new-world-body-shape-revealed#post-501880 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 21:53:28 +0000 Suz 501880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jayne, I missed the pics but wanted to congratulate you on the weight loss and tell you to enjoy the ride! Now that you know your body type it will be easier to pick clothes that flatter it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brave-new-world-body-shape-revealed#post-501794 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 19:41:31 +0000 jayne 501794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wanted to thank you all for the kind words. It was very scary to put such private pix on public site. So I removed them now.</p> <p>But after reading I was an hourglass, I felt I had won a prize. Gotta re-evalute self image now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brave-new-world-body-shape-revealed#post-500681 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 15:42:19 +0000 Angie 500681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done, you gorgeous hourglass! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brave-new-world-body-shape-revealed#post-500654 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 14:52:05 +0000 Queen Mum 500654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see an hourglass with possibly a hint of pear. You have a lovely figure. Congrats on your weight loss! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brave-new-world-body-shape-revealed#post-500585 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 07:58:17 +0000 Kate 500585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Jayne, I'll let Angie and others better versed in body type weigh in on that, but congrats on your weight loss. You have a perfectly lovely figure (and great posture!). </p> <p>Cats are great for moral support — and always seem to be in evidence whenever there is a camera around; I know mine certainly are. Joey is adorable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brave-new-world-body-shape-revealed#post-500581 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 07:44:31 +0000 Lantana 500581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Jayne, my eye judges you to be a straight out 100% hourglass, an x not an 8, see how your hip slopes gradually away from your waist? And such a clearly defined waist, too. You are also an ellipse according to the side on view. imogen at InsideOutStyle has tips on dressing an ellipse. You can go to Angie's posts on dressing the hot hourglass right here, right now.<br /> Oh, woops, caveat, I might be wrong! Let's see what the rest of the forum has to say! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/brave-new-world-body-shape-revealed#post-500574 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 07:04:42 +0000 jayne 500574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi<br /> ¨<br /> Now, in another post Suz suggested I send in a photo with just tights on to help id my body shape. This is oh so hard, so deep breath, I used my ski longs to reveal the real me. I have always been heavy but the last 2 years I lost 12 kilos (hmmm about 30 pounds) and am now at a life-time low of approx 150 pounds (68 kilos). (and still having a goal to get to about 62 some day- no hurry).</p> <p>anyway, I am 5'6" (166 cm), and always have had very heavy thighs and I see from the pix a very broad behind. I have assumed I am a pretty pear but from the back photo I look pretty square, and my waist is not as defined as i thought. So maybe I am a brick now? Trying to get used to the new body still after 2 years and I am always surprised at the missing lumps I used to have.</p> <p>For those advocates of bras, sorry, hardly wear one. I find them so painful and get rashes under the elastic so have not worn one daily for almost 17 years. I do, and will today, but it is once in awhile and only to make the outfit work. If I can get away without, I do. Luckily small chested enough that it is not a pain, and I even run like this, so unless menstruating, I hardly notice the girls. </p> <p>Any help with id-ing my shape is appreciated and anyone who feels they recognize themselves in this shape, I would like to know because I seriously need help finding out how to dress this new me. I already went through an entire wardrobe after the first rush of happiness after the weight loss but it was trying everything and I found alot of what did not work. So most of that is passed on (and some friends really appreciated my trial and run!) he he.</p> <p>oh, and Joey came to add moral support (you know, the cat)</p> <p>Note: pix removed by me after the comments. Just too bold! </p>
