Ladies What Is Your Type?

Just wondering what is your current body type? For those sleeved did your body type change (pear to apple, apple to hourglass)? How tall are you and what is your goal weight? Did you set it or did your doctor recommend it?

I am a pear - pre-surgery

I am 5'5, my initial goal weight was 160lbs. I recently changed it to 150lbs. I think seeing I need to lose more than 100lbs scared me. However, after I did my bone density exam I realized I am not big boned.

I hope that after surgery, I still am a pear or an hourglass.

Hourglass. Hoping it stays that way.

As far as laser hair removal goes, I got 6 treatments (underarms) for around $100. Look for those mass coupon e-mail things like Groupon, Daily Save, etc.

I'm a pear, always have been. I've always had average sized bust, waist and large bum and thighs. Even without a lot of fat I still have very wide hips, and I don't see my boobs getting any bigger, so I guess I'll stay a pear.

I think technically I am an hourglass, and I am looking like returning to an hourglass as the weight comes off. But for the past few years I am going to give me my own body type of potato!

  • 4 weeks later...

At my lowest weight, 138 and highest weight, 246, my shape remain a pear.

Wide Hips

Big Butt

Big Thighs

Tiny waist (Still have one being fat)

Flat Tummy (When I weighted less)

Big Boobs (Huge Now)

Slender Shoulders

Average Arms ( Huge Now)

Skinny Neck (Wider A bit now)

Thin Face (Full Face currently)

I'm 5'6 and my body parts seem to change with my weight except my bottom half. Abvoe my waist I had looked straved but below my wide wide hips could knock walls down in a hallway! I'll wore an extra small shirt but pants remain 12/14. It made me feel fat than and now I know what that really look like.

Ugh just talking makes me more desperate to find a sergon and get it over with. To wash away these last three years of me being obese. Just writing that word freak me out. It was not long ago I even acknowledge that I was. Now the time to go back to Real Curves.

Yeah - I have supersized hips too. I can't wait to see where the weight comes off first. But I believe my bottom half will be the last to go! I love my shape. I also am told I carry my weight well. I used to have big boobs but had a reduction. The reiterate how much smaller I am up top!

For me, the weight is coming off the places it last appeared: face, neck, shoulders and I finally see some shrinking of my upper belly roll. It used to roll over the waist of my pants and was starting to cover my belly button. It's not flat yet but is much better. I hate that roll! Be gone with you!

This time around I will definatly appreciate my shape. Embrace my curves and learn to dress for my shape.

Ive always been an hourglass. When I gain weight its even all over. But now its hourglass with a big bellly, big boobs,and a big butt. When I was at my thinnest, i was a 4 on top, little waist and a 6 on bottom....sigh......

Im looking forward to my face getting thinner the most though. :') This insurance crap can't go fast enough!!!!

I am an hourglass at 237 and I am 5' 4". My weight is all spread out. I hope to lose around 90 lbs. Hope to still be an hourglass.

I thought I was a pear, but the NUT declared me a solid apple. Today I feel like a kiwi.
