What body shape are you?

I can't figure out what I am. I used to think hourglass when I weighed 30 more pounds but now I am very small waist down. Skinny legs and a barely there butt. I still have a chest though. So what would this be considered? Funnel? haha What are you and what do you think the advantages are to your shape?

"funnel" made me laugh!

I carry it everywhere.  Does that make me "tree" shaped?  I guess it's an advantage that no one part of me is so much bigger than the others. 

Sarah, I think that may be apple shaped.  Not sure.  I'm similar in that I'm bigger on top, but I also don't have a distinct waist.  For that reason I call myself a rectangle with legs.  haha!!

somebody posted this quiz on here before, but it was easier to find the quiz than the thread  ;p

Body Type Quiz

Thanks for posting that quiz, apparently I am a cone. Funnel was close though. :-)

According to the quiz, I am an hourglass.  But that sure implies that I have more of a waist than I have.  I'm sticking with "tree".  :)

According to the Quiz, I am a "Spoon."

Not true though - you are supposed to use percentages - Hips to Waist to Bust - The hourglass figure is 2/3 - your waist is approx. 2/3 of your Hip/Bust measurements.

If it skews to your Bust/Waist being 2/3 of Hips, then your are pear.

If there is not much of a diffence between the three, you are an apple.

I think Cone is the term used if your Waist/Hips are 2/3 of your Bust.

It says I'm a spoon, which i thought was weird because while my hips are slightly bigger than my bust i look more of an hour glass.

I always felt I had a v. good shape.... a circle :D

What the hell is a spoon? What happened to apple and pear and etc? If someone has spiky hair can they be a fork?

andesite- you made me crack up laughing with your "tree" comment! i love it lol!

I'm just an orange- better yet, a giant grapefruit. I'm round all-around. Like one of those punching bags for kids than when you push over, they just roll and pop back up.

I'm a roley poley!!!!

Sarah, if you have large shoulders, you may be an inverted triangle (I'm not sure if that's the real name... but I saw a drawing of it somewhere!)Anyway, I would say that I'm an apple... which is especially obvious when I look at pictures of me before I lost about 17 pounds... all of my weightloss has come from my stomach and chest. 

Another thought... maybe "shapes" only apply when people carry excess weight.

skinnyogi - that cracked me up!  A fork!  :)

crothwell - you are a "shape" no matter what size you are.  Sometimes, it's hard to tell UNTIL you lose weight, actually.  I am (and have always been and will forever be) a "spoon" or "pear".  It's just how my bones are made.  I've made peace with it, and love it.

The advantages:  I have the least probability of having heart disease!  My booty rocks!  And certain populations of men really appreciate my shape.  If I worked them harder, I'd have a great set of sixpack abs that everyone could see.  As long as I'm not wearing a bathing suit or short-shorts that highlight my thighs and hips, I look skinnier than my weight would suggest.  :)

The disadvantages:  Because my waist is disproportionately small, I have an impossible time buying pants (I have to have them made).  The thighs are the hardest place from which to dislocate fat, according to scientific studies.  And I'd love to add some boobs and be an "hourglass" instead.

I have a weird shape that's for sure but I'm quite muscular and I think I'm probably an inverted triangle (hate my broad shoulders). I have a really small waist, not much in the hip area but my hip measurements come out large mainly due to the fact that I have a big butt, large thighs and average chest! If it wasn't for the large shoulders I'll probably be nearer to an hourglass (I wish).

According to the quiz, I'm an hourglass...but it doesn't feel right because I'm so stocky. If I were a fantasy character, I'd be a dwarf or something. Heavy boned, thick limbed.

im a spoon - what happened to the pear? is that now out of fashion? good news is though according to that i should be flexible and likely to take up dancing eg ballet - that kind of hit the nail on the head.

Trouble with being a spoon/pear/uneven if when you finally  start loosing weight off bum, hips and thighs i end up with no boobs and my chest bones sticking out.

LOL ur funny. PS. u are so cute and have a great body (pics) just wanted to let u know :) ummm so im a i dunno maybe pear?? I'm 5'0 and 125 lbs I want to be 120 my measurements are 35,28,38 so I carry most of my weight in my butt and theighs. Advantages mmm... well my husband loves it hehe I like my butt and the fact that I have a small waist (i have a 2 yr old son) used to be 25 which is my goal. BUt i would love to have thinner theighs (inner) and maybe a bigger chest but im good 34C... anyone have suggestions 4 losing inner theigh fat PLZ let me know

I'm a CONE!  Except that I have no boobs.  Wide set shoulders, thick arms, stupid gut.  Upper body strength is all there, but when it comes to squats/lunges, my legs need some more power.  It's funny how right on the quiz was when it came to that...I definitely used to have to lower my weights considerably when it came time to working on my lower body...but I'm almost working both ends equally...Almost!

But I am pretty flexible all over, thanks to yoga!  

I'm guessing I'll still be a cone when all this weight loss is done?  Just a smaller one?  Or perhaps my waist will get smaller...currently at a 36-29-36....Can I make that a 36-26-36?  Ahhh, I guess we shall see.
