What BODY SHAPE Am I?

[kdot28]

Hi everyone.

My question is in a thread I started on a Student forum. I have links to pics on there, so I thought it would be best to post the link to read the post (and some of the harsh responses I received - I can handle those, though). I know I am not a pretty sight, but I am working on it. At least I am doing something about it. Here's the link:

So, the question is am I more apple or pear shaped? I really want to get down to 20% body fat, not sure how much weight I'd have to lose. If you could reply to my question about body shape and add any other advice or tips I would be grateful. Thanks. I would appreciate it if you didn't compare me to Jabba like one guy did on that thread. I've read enough 'you're fat' comments on that forum, I don't really need to read more on here...I know I am and I am working on it. :-)

Oh, sorry, didn't realise you couldn't see it without being registered! I will try uploading pics now.

Can you still read the text that I wrote and people's comments?

They are small images, so you'll have to click 'view full size image' on the right hand side

I am going to delete this as soon as I get replies, it's just the best way of seeing my body properly: http://tinypic.com/r/25kqujt/6

pear. But I don't think the approach to fitness would be any different for either type.

You look like a pear to me, you tend to store fat in your hips/thighs. You seem to have a small upper body, apple's tend to have huge backs and no hips at all.

I would say pear

body shape doesnt really matter.

if your stats are correct, get down to 120. you'll be a knockout

you'll be a knockout

She already looks that way lol. I am sure I am not the only one who spent the most time looking at the nekkid picture.






Im just saying.





Good luck on your weight loss!

Pear shaped. The red dress looks pretty good. You're a couple months in the gym away from being very close to what you probably are shooting for.

Are you being sarcastic? :-/

But thanks anyway for wishing me good luck.

Thanks. Just gotta keep at it. Any advice regarding working out? And judging by my stats, what would be a good target weight to be at around 20% BF?

[cardioking]

The dress picture is very sexy. Being honest.... not sarcastic.

Like I recommended in your other thread. Train like an athlete and you will hit your goal in no time. You have a lot of potential.... keep it up!

[.Geeza]

Yeah, you look good in that red dress and like others have said... a few months of hard work and you'll be a knockout.
