You look great no matter what shape you want to label it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-my-body-type-changed#post-971075 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 02:35:45 +0000 Suz 971075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do think that our body shape can change to a degree. Mine changed somewhat with working out and age, as well. I was always a small busted hourglass with a relatively strong shoulder line -- and still am. BUT now I am much closer to a rectangle, and back in the day, I had pear tendencies. So my waist, even at its thinnest, is a bit thicker than in my 20s and my hips are smaller. Obviously the underlying bone structure is the same, but the places where weight goes on and stays on can change.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-my-body-type-changed#post-970994 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 01:26:12 +0000 Angie 970994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always thought of you as a rectangle with a strong shoulder line. And to answer your question from another thread - you can highlight your bottom by tucking tops into jeans/trousers/skirts! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-my-body-type-changed#post-970891 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 21:26:28 +0000 CocoLion 970891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe the toned shoulders and arms look smaller because they are now trimmer than before. </p> <p>Also -- this doesn't really apply to you yet because you are still young. &nbsp;But,&nbsp;the shoulder line changes as we age. &nbsp;I remember my Mother had really broad shoulders as a young woman, her shoulders are now very sloping at age 80.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Going from apple to hourglass makes a lot of sense!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-my-body-type-changed#post-970884 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 21:18:10 +0000 Irene 970884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Were you really an IT? How can your shoulder-line diminish? I mean, it's bones, right? </p> <p>Congratulations on your new shape, especially if it makes you feel better. It definitely sounds healthier and fitter! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-my-body-type-changed#post-970883 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 21:14:43 +0000 rae 970883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Makes perfect sense to me... If you carry your most extra weight in the middle it makes sense that most extra weight would come off the middle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-my-body-type-changed#post-970838 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 19:28:19 +0000 cinnamon fern 970838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This does sound weird to me - it seems like losing body fat and gaining muscle would make you MORE IT, not less.</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-my-body-type-changed#post-970762 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 17:32:16 +0000 Mo 970762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why not? &nbsp;I am definitely getting more of a middle and less pear tendencies each and every year. &nbsp;<br />I can remember being a bit heavier with 27 waist and 39 hips in my late 20's. Now I am more like 27 /&nbsp;36 in my early 40's. &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-my-body-type-changed#post-970736 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 17:06:37 +0000 chewyspaghetti 970736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's absolutely possible! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-my-body-type-changed#post-970719 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 16:45:24 +0000 Raisin 970719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bet it is possible. It would be interesting to see some before and after pics though, if you want to post them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-my-body-type-changed#post-970714 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 16:40:20 +0000 Anonymous 970714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As crazy as it sounds, my body type changed when I started doing cold thermogenesis (deliberately getting cold - google it if interested, I cannot explain the crazy concept but thought I would give it a try.) </p> <p>Saggy parts firmed up and I got HIPS! I was so excited to have hips. I am not quite sure what to do with them though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-my-body-type-changed#post-970705 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 16:34:22 +0000 Anonymous 970705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think so -- our bodies are pretty responsive to the environment. The muscle you have put on might have changed your conformation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-think-my-body-type-changed#post-970696 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 16:30:02 +0000 ironkurtin 970696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Or maybe I was just wrong all along?</p> <p>After changing my lifestyle and working out for a little more than a year, I seem to be less of an IT with apple tendencies and more of a rectangle with hourglass tendencies.</p> <p>Is this even possible? </p>
