Body Shape Confusion!!

How the heck do you know what body shape you are???  When I read articles about it, I don't feel like I fit into any of them!  I am 5'9, 127 pounds, gain weight pretty evenly but mostly on thighs and "lovehandle pad things" and a bit on my arms.......this doesn't fit into any of the categories at all!

Which shape do you guys have?

I'm definitely a pear. Most of my weight is in my lower half (well thighs and hips..my arse unfortunately is almost not there at all. Lmao!) My arms carry quite a bit (very hard to get muscle in them.) but from all the shapes I've seen I would say I'm a petite pear. Ha Ha.

I just took a test and it said I'm a "column".  Boooo.  I'd love to be a pear, I love that shape!

according to "a website" this is the break down for body type:

Apple: tends to store fat around chest and stomach

Pear: holds the majority of fat in lowerbody: hips, buttocks, saddlebags

Proportionate shape: Has equal fat distribution: gains and loses weight evenly

Measure your bust (around the boobs - not bra strap), waist and hips.

Which is bigger, bust or hips?

• If bust, you're probably an apple.
• If hips, you're probably a pear.
• If they're about the same (within an inch) and your waist is 3/4 of your hips or smaller, you're an hourglass.
• If they're about the same and your waist is bigger than 3/4 of your hips, you're a ruler or square or banana - depending on who you ask.

I know those aren't the exact definitions, but they're pretty close and easy to work with.  You could probably also find a website to calculate it for you.

I like this one, personally. More variety than the standard three...

I'm a definite goblet.

oh thank you! ill definitely give it a try x

I also don't fit into any, even Trinny's & Susanna's 12 shapes.

I have small shoulders, a big ribcage, a large waist, narrow hips, flat bum, flat tummy and long thighs.

I'm 5'2" and my bust is 37 inches, waist 27, hips 35.

What shape do you think I am?
