What body type do you have after your weight loss?



Recommended Posts

After being an apple shape for a long time. I was surprised to find out I am a inverted triangle body type.

I'm a rectangle. LOL It's hard to find pants because everything is cut for women with hips and I ain't got 'em.

Though I haven't lost a chunk of my weight (let's be honest, at this point I have only lost pieces) I am starting to see a shape take place. It appears as if I wasn't always meant to be "round" and will most likely take on a more of a hour glass/inverted triangle shape.

I'm noticing that there isn't an equivalent site for guys*. No wonder you women have so many body image issues. Not judging, just noticing.

* Not completely fair, guys who read men's health magazine seem to desire bigger arms and shoulders than women like...those dummies should do market research into what women want, not what magazines try to sell them (hint, hint ladies, quit listening to the media and figure out what guys like...oh wait many times you are listening to other women ;-))

Inverted triangle for sure. I've always had wide shoulders and big boobs, lol.

Triangle. Would love to perk up the top but still healing from removing the excess skin from the lower and/hip area. Still have a skinny waist but big hips and thighs.

Hourglass. Even when I was fatter. I've always been smaller in the middle than anywhere else.

Inverted triangle before, (but with a gut) and inverted triangle now, (but without the gut!). I was always lucky to carry the weight "all over". Once my bod settled down after entering maintenance, things turned out very proportional, still a size bigger on top than on bottom tho :-)

I'm wearing low rise jeans. I just don't have the curvy hips to fill out other jeans.

Love your perspective. The media kills me selling us their version of attractive. That also includes the guy's. :P

My shape has morphed from a triangle to a life saver with a pencil stuck through it. I am eligible to have a panniculectomy done after my two year mark on December 23rd. Then I will be a fabulous hourglass.

Hourglass. Even fat I had a smaller waist and bigger hips and top... I seem to gain and lose proportionally.

      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
