Hourglass before and after.

I was a very bottom heavy pear or triangle before weight loss. Now after losing 145 pounds and plastics, I like to think I'm an hour glass. I still have thick thighs/calves, though. I guess I don't care what I call it, it's way better than it was!

I think women's shapes are more varied and nuanced than the half dozen or so "shapes" shown in the OP.

The silhouettes we present are altered by attributes like the lengths and widths of our arms, legs, necks, hands and feet and by our postures and how broadly (or narrowly) we position and present our bodies.

Some people are thicker side-to-side, some are thicker front-to-back, and others are neither.

And, of course, our hair styles affect our silhouettes.

As do the fits and styles of the clothing and shoes we choose to wear.

And then there are the changes we all undergo as we age. Our shapes when young aren't the same as our shapes in middle age or when we're of "senior" age.

There are so many variations in our bodies and ways we can alter those without losing an ounce. Why should we imagine we fit into only six "shapes"?

I'll spare you all my rant on "Red Carpet" expectations of women in the current selfie culture. ;)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
