I always had a hunch that I was an hour glass, but then after looking at all the photos on here I wondered if I was a pear. It is hard without seeing a photo of you side by side.</p> <p>I will get my husband to take a photo of me afterwork this evening. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-pics-giving-up-my-hour-glass-dream#post-83726 Sun, 02 Aug 2009 18:18:04 +0000 Tanya 83726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also very certain that you are not par shaped. Look at those gorgeous shoulders!</p> <p>Hourglass is the most likely answer, but, as Angie says, a photo with the arms down will help a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-pics-giving-up-my-hour-glass-dream#post-83673 Sun, 02 Aug 2009 16:26:06 +0000 Angie 83673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats on posting pics! I’m guessing you’re a New Zealander living in London. Is that true? Great that you took the plunge. </p> <p>I actually would have gone with hourglass and inverted triangle too, but I can’t say for sure because I need some else to take pictures of you straight on with your arms down. Think you can manage that?</p> <p>You are not pear shaped! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-pics-giving-up-my-hour-glass-dream#post-83652 Sun, 02 Aug 2009 13:59:20 +0000 shiny 83652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I think you are more hourglass than pear. Especially in the photo with you in the skirt, you look hourglassey to me. </p> <p>You can be a combo. For example I'm hourglass trending towards inverted triangle, because I have a strong shoulder line. And I also have some tendencies towards apple shape as well. Take what works for you, and mix and match. </p> <p>While I can understand the frustrations finding skinny jeans and boots, I think your calves look proportionately right for your body type. Love your calves just the way they are, because the more muscle mass you have there, the higher your metabolism! </p> <p>Straight leg jeans will probably be just the ticket for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-pics-giving-up-my-hour-glass-dream#post-83647 Sun, 02 Aug 2009 13:24:13 +0000 Sihaya 83647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LK - I'm somewhat clueless on body shapes so I'm sorry I'm not much help there. But I wanted to say: thank you for posting your pix. You look SO cute. Love your smile and your eyes especially. And congrats on your weight loss. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-pics-giving-up-my-hour-glass-dream#post-83620 Sun, 02 Aug 2009 05:56:12 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 83620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I have taken the plunge and decided to post some pics. I always thought that I was an hour glass, but having spent some time on this site, I now think I am a pear?</p> <p>The first two pics are of me in jeans. I need to buy new ones as I have recently lost 7kg and none of my trousers fit any more - which is great, but also annoying.</p> <p>The jeans are both from Next and are both at what I am prepared to pay at the moment (£20). I am hoping to lose the same amount of weight again, so don't want to pay too much. They are both boot cut and one is darker than the other, but because I took these photos at night I am not sure you can see this. What do you think?</p> <p>The second pic (again apologies for the quality) is what I wore on Friday.</p> <p>The last pic demonstrates what seems to be my biggest problem at the moment - my calf size! I am having problems finding skinny jeans that go over them (even some straight legged ones are an issue!)</p> <p><a href="http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/fiandsteve/Clothes?authkey=Gv1sRgCIfc8bDDmKjKQg&#038;feat=directlink" rel="nofollow">http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/.....directlink</a></p> <p>I just want to say how friendly and genuine everyone is on this site.</p> <p>Thank you.</p> <p>Fi </p>
