Help!! Don't know my body type!

Jacquie

Hi!! I'm new and I'm clueless!! I have a small bust, thick waist (yes, muffin top) particularly in the lower abdomen (4 children...too much residual), a big bottom and thickish upper thighs. I'm 5'4 175 pounds on a smallish frame. Any thoughts??

Hi Jacquie,
Welcome!
It's always hard to guess at body type without a picture. Any chance you could snap a simple straight forward shot of yourself in something that shows the outlines of your body? If you're not able to post pictures to the forum yet, you can just upload it to flickr or the like and give us a link.

I'd like to see a photo, but based on your description, you sound like me--small bust, thick waist, weight in the rear and thighs. I classify myself as a rectangle with secondary apple tendencies, as I'm petite-boned and really very rectangular. IMO front silhouette view is what matters the most, though.

Jacquie, you need to be a member for a few weeks and to reply to some more threads before you can post pictures. In the mean time, you can upload the pic from your iPad to a photo hosting site like photobucket, then link it here so we can see the picture(s).

Jacqui, we really need to see photos.

I resonate with your description too, and have found the pear and the upper body part of the rectangle body type tips to be the most useful.

It soooundds like an oval/apple to me.. in fact, you sound like you're describing my good friend! Same problem with the tummy after childbirth...

But everyone above is right, photo with fitting clothes or at least a silhouette is required to make a better judgement..

I have almost no doubt that you are a pear or at least have some pear tendencies. You say you a small bust and have weight in the butt, thighs, and lower tummy which are all places in the lower body which says to me you are a pretty pear
