Body shape calculator thingie - I'm an inverted triangle, anyone else?

I always thought I was an apple, really, but found a calculator you put actual measurements into and it came up with that.

So carrot shaped, essentially.

Anyone else shaped like that?

I am also a spoon but it's not very accurate. My bust measurement may be X but my back meaurement is tiny so it's all boob, and my waist is not very defined. The hip shelf thing was right though..lucky me.

I'm straight, according to that website.

And one of those people who's going to die young due to my waist measuring more than 35 inches. Even though I'm not that fat.

Im straight. Tells me to enhance my waist. Doesn't account for the fact that I could be 28" all over or 50" all over.

pluckingupcourage · 24/04/2012 20:21

I'm a "top hourglass". But it suggests clothing choices which would make me look massive all over. Hmmm

EldonAve · 24/04/2012 20:28

I am also an inverted triangle

AmberLeaf · 24/04/2012 20:36

Im an hourglass. Think im a bit peary too though as when I put on weight it tends to go to my bum and thighs first.

fluffywhitekittens · 24/04/2012 20:40

I haven't put my measurements n but that's me :) trinny and Susannah call it a Goblet" :)

OracleInaCoracle · 24/04/2012 20:45

I am unavailable.

there is no body type for me.

lololizzy · 24/04/2012 22:31

ha my old Lighterlife counsellor called me a carrot!

Bluepetticoat · 24/04/2012 22:32

I'm depressed. No, I 'm straight it says- or a rectangle.
If I lose 2 inches off my waist I will be hour glass. get dieting.

MirandaWest · 24/04/2012 22:57

I am a pear. This was no surprise to me given my minimal bust, small waist and fat bottom Grin

fragola · 25/04/2012 08:37

I'm an hourglass. I was hoping to be something more interesting!

CrunchyFrog · 25/04/2012 09:14

bluepetticoat I don't know if that'll work, I put in my pre-diet measurements and I was still a carrot, just a fat carrot. Grin

I'm an hourglass too. The egg would be overcooked if you used me as a timer though....

debka · 25/04/2012 09:21

It says I'm a pear but it's wrong, how can I be a bloody pear when my boobs are a 38JJ????

Kikithecat · 25/04/2012 09:24

I'm straight too (not the apple I thought I was - but I'm sure if I gained a couple of stone I would be an apple).
Agree with ouryve that their suggestions would make me look like a sack of spuds tied in the middle. When you have a proportionally large waist you don't want to show it off!

I am a pear Sad, but I already knew that. What on earth is a spoon? I have never heard that one before.

I guess my consolation is that my risks for diabetes and heart disease are lower.

BobbieSox · 25/04/2012 09:25

Me too Debka - well, mine arent as big as yours but they do balance out my bum at an E cup, don't really need to emphasise them...have always liked to think of myself as an hourglass figure and will carry on doing so! [head in the sand]

4aminsomniac · 25/04/2012 09:41

I'm a Jerusalem Artichoke.

... No, I'm a ruler actually ...

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 25/04/2012 09:43

I think it's quite funny because I am a "pear" even though my boobs are big, and it takes no account of shoulder width etc even though that has a big effect on your overall shape - at least, I don't start at the boobs, do you? Pears have small sloping shoulders, mine are wide and square so what the hell am I?

simperingsally · 25/04/2012 09:51

im a pear too.. althoughat the minute feel fat all over!

Karbea · 25/04/2012 09:55

I'm straight!

Voidka · 25/04/2012 09:58

I am a top hourglass.

It says I have great legs though - which isnt true.

GossipWitch · 25/04/2012 10:01
