Well done on the weightloss (from another of the team thank goodness I enjoy exercise because I love food) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-16#post-508901 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 22:40:53 +0000 Ana 508901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd guess primarily rectangle with pear tendencies, although it's hard for me to tell by the way you are standing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-16#post-508831 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 21:35:21 +0000 Anonymous 508831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you may be an 8 with pear tendencies. </p> <p><a href="http://www.insideoutstyleblog.com/2010/05/real-life-body-shapes-8.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.insideoutstyleblog......pes-8.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-16#post-508816 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 21:15:37 +0000 Anonymous 508816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know, but you look amazing in that purple cami! WOW! The color is incredible on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-16#post-508813 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 21:10:07 +0000 Janet 508813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! I'd venture a guess of hourglass with maybe a slight pear tendency. </p> <p>I can relate about the thighs, although I think you look very proportional! Running has had unexpected effects on my body. I lost more weight in my torso than I ever thought I would, and not so much from my thighs, although I must say my thighs have way more muscle tone now than they did before, which helps.</p> <p>I am also thankful for exercise! I love to eat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-16#post-508692 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 19:39:27 +0000 Suz 508692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vicki, a rectangle is someone with less waist definition and shoulders/hips more or less in balance; usually smaller to regular sized bust and slender limbs. </p> <p>Angie's blog posts on body type explain it all very well. Most of us are not a "pure" type but a blend with aspects of more than one type. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-16#post-508671 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 19:24:54 +0000 kellygirl 508671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's hard to tell but I'd guess barely a pear--you look so proportional to me. I think hourglass/pear? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-16#post-508668 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 19:21:56 +0000 Vicki 508668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I need to do my body type and I'll be watching the posts here. I agree that you are a petite, but as far as what body type, I would have said hourglass, but hearing rectangle, that may be it, too. What is a rectangle when it comes to body type? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-16#post-508608 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 18:13:46 +0000 HelenInCanada 508608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So true - being drawn to certain exercises based on body type! I'm more well-versed in the major body types known as Endomorph (softer), Mesomorph (generally muscular), and Ectomorph (small-boned). *My parenthesis* Very, very interesting research done in that field. Check it out all!</p> <p>CitygirlDC, I don't see a major pear shape, but you ARE slightly smaller up top than on the bottom. I think you can wear anything, personally! (Proportioned for petities, natch!)</p> <p>ETA: Check out pro swimmers' bodies compared to marathon runners'. Both are fit as heck, but their bodies are so different. :)</p> <p>ETA: Suz, I like your thinking! Speed skating sounds like a dream for your strong legs! I LOVE to swim, and luckily I have a bit of a float-able body! Lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-16#post-508582 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 17:54:02 +0000 Suz 508582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's tough to tell because the pants aren't super fitted and your legs are wide apart. </p> <p>I think (based on your WIWs) that you might be a rectangle with pear tendencies, or a pear with rectangle tendencies! </p> <p>ETA: could be an hourglass, too. But not an extreme one. </p> <p>For me, post-weightloss, it was a HUGE surprise to find myself an hourglass/rectangle (but truthfully, more rectangle than hourglass). What the heck? I used to be a pear, or thought I was! Exercise can change body shape as well as size, although it doesn't always do so; sort of depends what exercise you're doing and what your body type was to begin with. A lot of us pick the type of exercise that our body shape lends itself to...I'm thinking of Una, who's an IT and who climbs (climbing is easier for her with her strong shoulders/arms but also strengthens them further). If I had a sport it would probably be speed skating (big strong thighs). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-16#post-508493 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 16:11:06 +0000 texstyle 508493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Still seems mostly a pear but whatever it is you look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-16#post-508466 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 15:43:45 +0000 Mo 508466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with you on being a total foodie with exercise to save us from ourselves!!! I'm no expert but I think pear is probably still accurate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-16#post-508464 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 15:41:23 +0000 rute 508464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great! Not sure about your body type.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-my-body-type-16#post-508456 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 15:31:44 +0000 citygirldc 508456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not really sure what my body type is anymore since I've lost a substantial amount of the weight the past 2 years. Anyway, I always thought I was a pear but lately I don't know. I tend to carry my weight in my tummy and inner thighs as seen by the photos. </p> <p>(No matter how much exercise I do that tummy doesn't want to slim down but then I'm a total foodie and thank God for exercise.) </p> <p>Here are some photos and let me know what you think. </p>
