What body type do you have after your weight loss?

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

Like Jenn1, ive gone from an apple shape to an inverted triangle. If I could just get the 10 lbs off my tummy, I think Id be a rockin' hourglass ! ( Said the girl who typed this while eating ice cream....................)

I think I'm a rectangle. I have always carried more weight in my middle so thought I was an apple, but I literally have no hips and sadly no booty. haha!

Most guys envision themselves as having a tripod body shape. :)

Definately a rectangle. I no longer have any butt whatsoever. The term flat ass comes to mind! I went from a 26 pants to a 12 but have no butt. If I got rid of the loose skin in my tummy area I would likely be a size 8 or 10 for sure.

And the girls have completely left the building. I went from a 46C to a 38 empty C and could easily go to a b but my hubby would freak out! LOL!

I am looking forward to a year from now when I can have some plastics done to get back my hour glass figure. Abdominalplasty, brachioplasty, lower body lift. And breast augmentation.

I held most of my weight in my mid section. I'm not sure if my tummy will go away without plastics. I have no hips no butt. Hourglass is what I thought I would find.

I'm with you. No hips no butt. At my age I knew I would have no booty. ;)

I'm trying to embrace my loose skin, flat butt and the almost missing Boobs. I think @@Babbs took my boobs from me. ;)

@@OKCPirate has a point. What is the purpose of this weird self judgment scale?

I had a plastic surgeon refer to my body type as athletic. This was right after weight loss so the description surprised me ,but I've held on to it as a positive image. Who me, athletic?

I think its personal perspective about the body type chart. For me its not a self judgment scale. Its a bone structure that I was surprised to find under all my weight. I'm not offended by anyone's bone structure or family genetics.

I do like @@OKCPirate perspective on how the media sells their version of attractive. Oh yes. It is the reason of body image issues.

Most of my life I considered myself an apple or inverted triangle. I always considered myself as large framed. Not-so-much now. It's as though this surgery brought out something different. In my best shape of my life (age 24 and my still want it to be, goal weight), I was larger framed than I am now...except this gut. I too would be at least a size smaller in pants, probably two if I got rid of this stomach. Too bad there is no such thing as spot reduce. Plastics for me!

I had twins and never got any hips...love Old Navy Diva jeans, big waist and slim through the hip!

It's an amazing feeling to be in the best shape of your life. I never thought I would have this fitness level in my 40's. I'm so thankful for my sleeve.
