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 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'm going to say oval.

I think my shape is a chopstick. No boobs, no butt. :( hahaha
