I am not curvy otherwise, though my waist is slightly more defined now that I have lost some weight. You are curvier than I am in the hips. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-body-type-1#post-149703 Fri, 30 Apr 2010 00:01:22 +0000 cciele 149703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not all rectangles are like rulers, dragonfrog. I'm like you -- curvy rectangle with a poorly defined waist. My chest is on the large side for my height and frame. I look forward to seeing more photos from you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-body-type-1#post-149518 Thu, 29 Apr 2010 16:29:33 +0000 dragonfrog 149518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And thanks so much to all of you for the kind welcomes and compliments They really mean a lot to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-body-type-1#post-149517 Thu, 29 Apr 2010 16:26:12 +0000 dragonfrog 149517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the welcome, Maya... I have lurked on this forum for a while, and (before everyone's replies) was sort of thinking I might have a similar body type to you, a sort of short-waisted not-super-defined hourglass. Perhaps I will post more pictures sometime, and get second opinions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-body-type-1#post-149513 Thu, 29 Apr 2010 16:17:20 +0000 Maya 149513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, well I was off on that one.

The consensus seems to be rectangle/pear, so I guess that's what I'll put in my profile. It is funny that's the only one I didn't see myself as... guess that just shows how off our own perceptions of ourself can be :)</p> <p>ETA: I just looked over Angie's guidelines for rectangles, and, although they work okay for me, I guess the reason I never viewed myself as a rectangle is I don't lack curves, I just lack a defined waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-body-type-1#post-149467 Thu, 29 Apr 2010 14:32:26 +0000 Angie 149467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to the forum and thanks for posting pictures! I see a rectangle with slight pear tendencies too. You have a pretty little dainty shoulder line and a great little athletic figure :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-body-type-1#post-149466 Thu, 29 Apr 2010 14:31:59 +0000 Itari 149466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, congrats! You look pretty!</p> <p>I can't really see a pear in you. I guess your shoulders balance the bottom half, but that could be an optical illusion. I'm hardly an expert, but I'd say you're a rectangle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-body-type-1#post-149445 Thu, 29 Apr 2010 13:55:39 +0000 rae 149445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for rectangle-pear -- congrats on the weight loss!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-body-type-1#post-149432 Thu, 29 Apr 2010 13:14:36 +0000 Alecia 149432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I post my thoughts with a disclaimer, too. I continue to learn about the body shapes. But I definitely see rectangle in you. Funny, that's the only one you didn't note in yourself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-body-type-1#post-149409 Thu, 29 Apr 2010 08:09:43 +0000 rute 149409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree.. racy rectangle and pear as a secundary body type.</p> <p>You are so thin..

I'll throw in something totally different: rectangle-pear hybrid. I could be totally off though, since I'm not good at the body type thing </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-body-type-1#post-149349 Thu, 29 Apr 2010 02:57:39 +0000 Maya 149349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are not even close to an apple and I don't see pear either. You seem like an hourglass with a strong shoulder line to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-body-type-1#post-149337 Thu, 29 Apr 2010 02:20:47 +0000 dragonfrog 149337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi :)<br /> I'm new to the forum here, and I was wondering if you could help me figure out my body type. I have recently lost 30+ pounds, bringing me to my lowest weight ever, which further confuses which body type I am. I can think of reasons why I could be almost any of them:<br /> Hourglass: This is what I thought I was before I lost weight, because I was well-endowed. Now I'm not so sure.<br /> Pear: I have a large bottom-- it was larger when I was larger, but it's still rather out-of-proportion.<br /> Apple: My waist is not very defined. It's also very short.<br /> Triangle: My shoulders are quite broad and square, something that has become more pronounced with weight loss.</p> <p>Things I know for sure about my body type/shape:<br /> -I am very short-waisted<br /> -I have very long arms and legs</p> <p>Thanks so much for reading :)</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29643051@N05/4561575479/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/2.....561575479/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/29643051@N05/4562205476/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/2.....562205476/</a> </p>
