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.

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

Yeah, low rise is my choice, too. If they're anything else, they look like jodhpurs. LOL

Well, I am the inverted triangle though I much prefer the athletic spin. I too wear the low rise, with a belt. All pants have a way of shimmying down. My gfriend told me once she was gonna LAUGH if my pants fell off in public. I have an 8-9 " difference from waist to hips bit my waist is WAY up there so it doesn't help with jeans fitting.

I'm not sure. I think I'm a rectangle? Maybe an hourglass? I don't think my waist is that curvy but maybe that's because I have narrow hips. I have a little girls body now.

If the question was "What body type did you have BEFORE your weight loss?", I would have said,"that of an athlete", And by that, I meant that of a Sumo wrestler. :)

What type of body do I have?? You tell me!

Before wls I looks like I was nine months pregnant with a very thick legs still somewhat narrow hips but a huge huge overhanging belly. Like a pregnant apple.

Now what shape am I?

by the way..nice outfits. I love your dress.

I used to be my father's lil half-back then I was a full-back. I was always the biggest kid in the family. For twenty years, as a firefighter, I always had broad shoulders, big arms, thick legs and calves. They served me well doing the hard stuff. I could never buy a regular blazer or button down shirt, jeans were torture and forget boots. I learned to sew because I couldn't find things that fit me well. Now it's my belly that's still giving me trouble when shopping. But I will take it versus the sixty pounds!

So what shape do you see?

Crazy! I wouldn't have seen that!! Cool!! Guess I do have nice broad shoulders. :)

Ha... you guys are funny.

My dad's nickname for me was "barrel" Nice huh? Anyway, I was your classic apple pre op... now I am a freaking warrior princess - that title seems to be missing from the chart. :)

Geeez, really? Can you say dismorphic body image issues?

Today my therapist told me I have the body of a 14 year old boy.

Wasn't very nice of her.
