6. QUESTION:
   what is a spoon body shape?

   • ANSWER:
     Spoons tend to put on weight or mass in their hips and thighs and behind the knees. Those who are very overweight may even carry extra weight in their calves and ankles. Their upper bodies are not necessarily small, but considerably smaller than their lower bodies. Typically, if a Spoon is not overweight, the lower part of the leg, from the knee down is her best asset. Although it is rare, there are some male Spoons. Another distinctive feature of Spoons is that, unlike Hourglasses, they look heavier than their actual scale weight. Because most of their weight is concentrated in their lower half, others' eyes focus and fix primarily on this part of their bodies. It is important to note that as a Spoon, you bulk the fastest of all the body types from the hips down

7. QUESTION:
   Is an hourglass body shape with small boobs considered a pear body shape?
   Well I've been trying to figure this out lately because I've been told by people I have an hourglass but from those online calculators, it says I have a "spoon" body shape which is pretty much a pear. But I don't think I'm fat at 5' 7" and weigh 125 pounds.
   Thoughts?

   • ANSWER:
     Yes, your body sounds like a pear shape. The technical definition of a pear shape is that you have a wider bottom (hips, etc.) and a smaller top (bust, shoulders). And you're not fat at all!

    • ANSWER:
      what you eat is 80% of it.

      How hard are you willing to work to get what you want? Because what you ask for is highly possible IF want it bad enough.

      Exercise alone won't get you there. Diet alone MAY get you there BUT people who ONLY diet always gain the weight back. The key to fat loss AND keeping it off is 3 fold:

      Proper Dieting
      Proper use of cardio
      lifting weights.

      Also, I don't believe that article.

      as far as the diet: Think HIGH protein MODERATE fat LOW carb.
      The protein and fats will help maintain your existing muscle mass only. Which is very important while dieting in that it ensures you only lose FAT while your weight is going downwards.
      The low carbs are pretty much the way to go when trying to lose fat. We don't need carbs as much as people think unless you are an athlete. Also, when you reach your goal, you slowly reintroduce good carbs back into your life. Its only temporary that we keep them out. Some people live years without carbs and all their health numbers are better than before! Personally, I've lived 2 years without carbs. Today I have SOME back in because my goals are different now, I'm no longer attempting to lose fat only. I now want to add some muscle.

      Sorry so long lol but I'd recommend this for you (based on your goal weight):

      Protein: 190 grams
      Fat: 75 grams
      Carbs: 50 grams

      Divide the protein/fats into 5 or 6 meals evenly. Not the carbs since that 50 grams will be incidental in your protein/fat sources.

      Protein sources could be: eggs, tuna, chicken, turkey, steak, talapia fish, salmon, whey protein powder

      Fat sources could be: almonds, cashews, extra virgin olive oil, all natural peanut butter

      Carb sources will be, well...nothing lol except green veggies. You can eat as many of those as you want and do not have to add them or consider them.

      cardio:

      do LOW intensity cardio. like walkin on an incline or stationary bike.

      keep your heart rate at 130 bpm. start with 30 mins 3 x per week. Each week add 1 day to the rotation. stay at 30 mins 7x per week until your fat loss stalls. Then add 10 mins to each session. if you continue to lose fat like that, stay there. no need to add anything. if fat loss stalls add 10 mins to each session. stay there. etc etc this is the proper way to use cardio for fat loss. Cardio progressions.

      weights:

      Lift weights 3x per week. Do full body workouts. squats, deadlifts, lunges, bench presses. all you are trying to do is maintain your existing muscle. since protein & fats are the building blocks of muscle and you will be eating alot of that plus this weight lifting, maintaining your muscle will be no problem!

      once per week (like a saturday morning) weigh yourself. take pictures in shorts or bikini. these pictures from week to week will prove to you that the program is working or not. pictures don't lie. take measurements too. log it all down. this should be done before you eat anything.

      also, that same day, as your last meal of the day, eat whatever your little heart desires! this is very important. the reason behind it is twofold:

      your sanity.
      also to spark your metabolism.

      Our bodies will slow its metabolism whenever we diet and sparking it every week is very very important. you will gain weight from this meal BUT its only water weight and it will be lost in 3 days and in then in 7 days you will still have a weekly loss!

      i think thats everything lol

      good luck! and please email me if you have any further questions!

13. QUESTION:
    Please help! I can't identify my body shape! Hourglass, Pear, Spoon or otherwise?
    My shoulders are 33.6in, My chest is 33in or 32C, My Waist is 26in and my hips are 33in. I'm 5 foot 1 and a half, I weigh 8stone/112lbs. PLEASE someone tell me what my body shape is! And could you tell me if its abnormal for my height or if my measurements indicate to being overweight?!?!?! X

    • ANSWER:
      Based on the info you provided I believe you would fall into the hourglass category. Spoon shaped means you are top-heavy and pear-shaped means you are bottom heavy.

14. QUESTION:
    what can i possibly do about my body shape ?
    Ok guys I have a spoon shaped body shape : http://www.google.co.in/imgres?imgurl=http://www.profitmatic.com/imageLibrary/dir1862244/1862244_36076.gif&imgrefurl=http://fit-firmations.com/%3Ftag%3Dhourglass-body-type&h=305&w=402&sz=53&tbnid=nbFwUnbm9tRs0M:&tbnh=94&tbnw=124&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dhourglass%2Bshaped%2Bbody&zoom=1&q=hourglass+shaped+body&hl=en&usg=__6P-E9zErJcV1IiNlvq525cWGEmg=&sa=X&ei=HeywTM3SEY-MvQOy5_3MBg&ved=0CB8Q9QEwAw

    I seriously wish to get it into hourglass or cone shaped .

    SO is there a surgery or something for it.

    Well this happened because of a certain shift in my diet when i started having my periods. Whenever i used to be feared i used to eat a lot [Or used to eat just for taste sake]
    SO because of that now my body shape is like this.

    And to top it all by birth i had huge hips and now my stats are 32 &1/2 ,32,38

    My bust was 33 but now it has become 32 &1/2 because of stress.
    Also because of my stats i get problems while getting up ,i mean if ur sitting on the floor or on ur bed then i get trouble in getting up.

    I am seriously thinking of a liposuction for my buttocks,thighs and stomach.

    What do you think of the entire situation ?
    What should i do ?
    I used to eat like that but now i am totally in control and eat only lunch nd dinner nd fruits.
    But because of that phase in my lifethe are around my waist has made my bones grow [I hope ur getting what i mean] . I simply do not have fat around my waist .....but my bones have widened.

    And my upper body did not . So now i have a very unappealing pear shaped body i dont like

    • ANSWER:
      Personally, I am very against liposuction. It has its dangers and is not long-term, meaning you could gain it all back again if you resume your previous habits after surgery.

      Since you said this was due to a shift in your diet, I would suggest simply going back to eating what you used to eat, or changing your current diet to something more vegetable/protein-based so you feel full but don't eat as much. I have never heard of period causing any drastic diet changes before, except for maybe a little more sugar intake, so I don't really know what you mean by the "shift".

      As for eating when you're afraid or just feeling like it, I've been through a phase like that as well ^^. Just make sure when you eat, eat something healthy such as fruits and vegetables. I suggest eating something that put up a lot of resistance, such a celery (I love celery now <3). You can also try popping a piece of gum instead of food.

      Try stress relief activities, especially running, since that will cut fat around the lower body area as a bonus. Another thing to keep in mind is your posture. Sitting or slumping too much can also focus your fat gain to the lower portion of your body, like your buttocks and thighs.

      Good luck! :]

15. QUESTION:
    do these measurements belong to hourglass or spoon/pear shaped body type ?
    female 21 yrs old

    36-26-39

    5'7 , 136 pounds

    is that considered hourglass or pear/spoon body ?
    .........................................

    • ANSWER:
      The answer will depend on ur shoulders,, if they are equal to ur hips, then u seem like a bottom heavy hourglass, since ur hips measurements is bigger than ur bust.. think of Rihanna, Halle Berry, and Beyonce to some extent.
      But if ur shoulders are narrower/sloppy, then u may be a triangle. There are also different types of triangles,, depending on ur waist. So if u have sort of a straight waist that protrudes from a certain point to ur hips, then ur like Katherine Heigle or Jenniffer Love Hewitt. But if ur waist is indented, then u are the shape of Mischa Barton and Christina Aguilera.

16. QUESTION:
    How Do You Know What Body Shape You Are (please help 10 points)?
    How do you know what body shape you are?

    Like pear or spoon or hourglass etc

    Is there anything to do with measurements?

    My measurements are 32 - 22 - 33.

    • ANSWER:
      Penny, u've ben posting different measurements for a while..
      u were 31.5-23.5-32.5, then u became 32.5-23.5-32.5 then to 32-22.5-33.. and now 32-22-33..which is, based on this latest measuremen, means ur quite a petite hourglass.

      Well, if u want to know what bpdy shape u are.. u can go to trinny and susannah website.. it's the best for u i guess..
      http://www.littlewoods.com/rf/static.do?page=landingpage21

      I have studied anthropometric, and i do body ratios to determine body shapes, so i dont depend solely on the 4 categories of body shape (pear, hourglass, etc)..

      If u do really have 22-33 waist-hip, then u should have a hip that looks almost like dita von tesse:
      http://www.lalovin.com/images/galleries/dita_von_teese/dita_von_teese_19.jpg

      If urs dont look like that, then if u didnt take the wrong measurement.. ur hips may not be wide but it's ur butt that maybe protruding.

      Bust-waist 32-22 is good, but ur bust lacks definition.. if i am not mistaken u are 30B..
      Which makes u somehow a bottom heavy hourglass..
      U can go to myshape.com,, if they say u r shape M..it can indicate that u r more a pear than a bottom hourglass..

      But it still depends on the way ur legs are formed, do u have full thighs or slender long legs,,, are ur shoulders broad/in line with hips/or narrow.. all these will determine the body shape u truly are..

18. QUESTION:
    What body shape am I?
    I'm having trouble figuring out my body shape. Is it considered a pear shape or hourglass?...I think I even heard someone say spoon shape Whatever that is.

    My measurements are 32B-26.5-34
    I also have a curvy/round tush (5ft1 & 105lbs)

    • ANSWER:
      fit

19. QUESTION:
    What is my body shape?
    I've read up on it and it says that I'm am a spoon shape. However, I see myself as a mix of spoon/pear/apple.

    My measurements are:
    33-27-35

    I carry most of my weight from my waist, down to my hips. But I have nicely toned abs, so I know that I am not much of an apple. I know that I am not much of a pear, although I am a bit bottom heavy. I can see myself as a spoon, but I'm not so sure.

    What do you think?

    • ANSWER:
      Firstly, spoon and pear are the same. Apple shape is when the waist/hip ratio is 0.8 or more. Yours is 0.77 and your hips are two inches more than your bust, so you are more pear/spoon shaped, although you are slightly ruler shaped as your waist/hip ratio isn't less than 0.75. If you gained weight, you could become more apple shaped, but that is the case with any body type.

      You sound like you have a nice figure.

      HTH : )

20. QUESTION:
    what body shape do I have?
    I know you guys are probably tired of people asking this but I just want to know what you think because I'm trying to use it as a guideline to get more flattering clothes.

    I'm 5'6'', weight 135 with very wide shoulders. My bust measures 32B, my waist at the smallest part is 26 (25 on a good day), my hips are 34, and when I measure around my thighs right under my butt where it curves out the most- its 37.

    I've always had a very high metabolism and always look as if I weigh less than I do. When I gain weight I seem to gain it in my lower abdomen, butt, and thighs first, but its impossible for me to get fat. My family consists of true pear shapes, and they balloon out,and look fat on the bottom, skinny on top, so I'm kinda confused about my body shape, especially with such wide shoulders.

    I wear size 8 jeans which always surprises people- they think I'm a size 4. So am I a cross between a ruler and spoon shape or what?

    • ANSWER:
      I'm surprised you wear a size 8 as well, because I would have put you at a size 4 on top and size 6 on the bottom.

      Anyway, you are definitely spoon or pear shape. You're definitely not a ruler, you have a really curvy body.

21. QUESTION:

    • ANSWER:

      a person with an hourglass figure has the bust and the hip the same measurement (or at least close to that...abt 2 inches difference) and the waist 10 inches smaller.

22. QUESTION:
    best wedding dress for my body?
    jus under 5'8

    measurements: 35 27 38
    been told i have a pear/spoon body shape.

    i dont like ball gowns.

    I personally like the sheath and/or the mermaid style.

    But what would look best on me?
    can you help me?

    • ANSWER:
      If you're fuller on bottom, a close cut mermaid style might just make your butt look big. >.< I'd suggest an a-line skirt that starts to flow away from your body at your hips (whether higher or lower depends on what you think looks best), camouflaging the wider part of you and calling attention to your small waist.

24. QUESTION:
    What Body Shape Do You Think I Am?
    5"3
    I know I'm very skinny, but I'm asking about shape not size. Like pear, hourglass, apple, spoon, etc.

    Bust - 31.5 (10B)
    Waist - 23.5
    Hips - 32

    I'm also taking into account that I'm in my middle teens and am still developing.

    • ANSWER:
      Currently, u r a colomn..slim, hard to gain weight, but when it does u store it in the abdomen first, then buttocks.. slight definition in the waist with balanced hips and bust..
      Ur waist-hip ratio is 0.73, waist-bust ratio is 0.75, which means slight definition for bust and hips.. hourglass usually have below 0.7 ratio..
      Ur body curvaciosness index is 0.83, which indicates a not very curvy body.. hourglass must have a BCI of higher than 1.. Marylin Monroe for example is 1.25 and Jessica Alba is 1.

      But ur still young and developping.. who knows u may change..

      Ur celebrity body matches are plenty, including natalie portman, ali larter and cameron diaz..

27. QUESTION:
    What do you think my body shape is?
    It might be a trivial question, but I'm very confused whether I'm a spoon shape, or an hourglass. I know it's not a hard thing to figure out for most, but sometimes people say I'm one of the other, which can really confuse me. I'm 5'2", around 120 lbs, 40C, 26" waist, and 42 inch hips. I think my upper thighs look a bit big. They don't really go straight down, they almost look like saddlebags (is that something I can eliminate?) Also, would someone need broad shoulders to balance that out?

    Plz help..
    I still don't feel or look like an hourglass though. everyone says I look like a pear, and I hate pears (the physique, not the fruit).

    • ANSWER:
      i think you are an hourglass shape. Exercise targeting your thighs may help reduce your saddlebag look, but personally I suggest yoga and stretching. This will improve your whole body and produce long, lean muscle. I don't suggest trying to get broad shoulders. I'm sure you look great no matter what

28. QUESTION:
    I like the Pear body shape. Is that weird ?
    I think it's really hot. Nice flat tummy and a round butt and nice thighs.
    I have a spoon/hourglass shape and I despise it because when I gain the smallest amount of weight , I get automatic love handles . What's the least desirable of the two : pear or spoon ?

    • ANSWER:
      The hourglass shape i think is the sexiest shape a woman can have. If a girl is too skinny and has no meat to her chances are most guys aren't going to be attracted to her. Don't worry about gaining a little weight especially if its in the butt, thighs... guys like curves. Spoon is definitely not desirable for me and I can tell you that most of my buddies and I would prefer a pear.

29. QUESTION:
    running on an incline on a treadmill and lower body????
    I am 33 y/O female. 142 pounds and 5'5". I have a big lower body with a pretty much toned upper body. I want to reduce my hips and butt and make my lower body more proportionate. I have a treadmill and I've heard that if you have a spoon shaped body you can never use the incline or you'll bulk up your lower body. Its that true?? Any one has experienced that??

    • ANSWER:
      It's very difficult to bulk up by running. Granted, if you put the incline up high enough(>7%), you will do more work with your glutes and hamstrings than with low or no elevation. But the overall effect is to make these areas stronger, not so much bigger. Have you ever seen a top runner with a big lower physique? I assure you that all these runners do plenty of incline training.
      I wouldn't recommend running on hills or incline exclusively, but a little variation might be helpful in keeping your motivation up and if you run regularly, you will see a positive change in the shape of your body.

31. QUESTION:
    I'm 33-27-38 with broad shoulders - what's my body shape and a good swimsuit?
    From my bwh I think I'm a pear/spoon, but my shoulders are as wide as my hips and my torso isn't narrow; I just have small boobs. My bra size is 36A or 34B. I'm approx. 5'6 and 135 lbs. When I gain weight it shows more on my lower half first.

    Also, what is a good type of swimsuit for my body type, whatever it may be? I'm looking more for information about the style than specific brands (necklines, bikini/tankini/one-piece, etc.)
    I'm not sure if I was clear enough before.

    I don't know what my body type is, so articles with advice on swimsuits for pear/hourglass/triangle-shaped bodies haven't helped much, because I don't match any of the descriptions. I'm not sure what to look for or where to start when swimsuit shopping. I'd just like to know what body type people would classify me as if any, and also some swimsuit style suggestions.
    shoptheflower, I'm a bit confused. I'm want a swimsuit so I can play at the beach and hang out at the pool with my friends without having to jump into the water in my gym clothes. I'm not sure if you're picturing me wanting to lounge around a hot tub in a thong sipping champagne with some old guy or what. I'm sorry for leaving that detail out earlier.

    • ANSWER:
      I think you're an hourglass figure. Your upper body and lower body sound proportional except for your boob size. Your waist is also 70% of your hips, which means it's probably well-defined.

      Halter tops are easier to find in the right size, since they don't need to fit in the shoulder; just the chest and waist. Maybe try a one-piece with a deep plunge neck. Since they have almost no support, only women with small boobs can wear them anyway, and most also have a higher cut leg that will make your hips look slimmer.

      Another look I like is a regular swimsuit top and board shorts. In this case the straps for the top should be fairly wideset to balance out the bottom.

      Don't get a strapless top or string bikini, since it's sounds like you actually want to do some swimming, and it's too easy for mishaps to occur with those.

34. QUESTION:
    which do you thing is the best body shape?
    which do you thing is the best body shape? in the order of which you like the best to the ones you hate. THANKS

    Apple (triangle downward)
    Apple shaped women have broad(er) shoulders compared to their (narrower) hips.[1] Women of this body type have (much) higher androgen levels compared to women with other body types[citation needed]. Because of this high androgen level, the skeleton develops in a very masculine pattern. Apple shaped women tend to have slim legs/thighs, while the abdomen and chest look out of proportion compared to the rest of the body. Fat is mainly distributed in the abdomen, chest, and face.

    Banana or straight (rectangular)
    The waist measurement is less than 9 inches smaller than the hips or bust measurement.[1] The body has a relatively high androgen level compared to the estrogen level[citation needed]; this causes the skeleton to develop in a bit more masculine pattern and body fat to be distributed predominantly in the abdomen, buttocks, chest, and face. This overall fat distribution creates the typical ruler (straight) shape.

    Pear or spoon or bell (triangle upward)
    The hip measurement is greater than the bust measurement.[1] The distribution of fat varies, with fat tending to deposit first in the buttocks, hips, and thighs. As body fat percentage increases, an increasing proportion of body fat is distributed around the waist and upper abdomen. The women of this body type tend to have a (relatively) larger rear, robust thighs, and a small(er) bosom.

    Mohini an avatar of Vishnu shows an hourglass body shape.Hourglass shape. (triangles opposing, facing in)
    The hip and bust are almost of equal size with a narrow waist.[1] Body fat distribution tends to be around both the upper body and lower body. This body type enlarges the arms, chest, hips, and rear before other parts, such as the waist and upper abdomen.

37. QUESTION:
    How do I find out what my body type is?
    I know there are Deferent body types

    In woman.
    Such as Pear shape Small up top but big on bottom Often has trouble losing weight.

    Apple shape Big up top small on the bottom Can lose weight but gains it easly.

    Hr glass- Big on top and bottom Small slinder waist line.

    Ruler-Little difference between chest, waist and hip measurements.

    Cone- Upper body is considerably larger than the lower body.

    Spoon- Almost like the pear shape but smaller and more slender leaner looking. They have long lean upper bodies While the bottom is roundish and more muscle mass to the legs.
    Often has poor upper body straight.

    Now I was told is by doing your measurements and all.

    Chest-

    Over- (This over over my breast) 36
    Under- 32
    Waist- 30 inches.
    Lower stumach- Which is under the navel- 34 Inches.

    Hips- 36-37 Inches
    Also I'm 5'2 Pretty short
    When I looked it up One website Said I was a ruler
    While a nother said I was a hr glass shape.
    Is it possible to be more than just one body type?

    • ANSWER:
      You sound like you are ruler/apple shape to me, where the top and bottom are the same size, and the waist is less than 8 inches smaller. If your waist was 8-12 inches smaller, you would be hourglass.

    5'4 , 119 pounds

    my mates and family tell me i am but idunno

    • ANSWER:
      judging by the measurements given you're Hourglass
      but to be precise you should offer the measurement of your arms and thighs as well
      because I've seen a lot of people with an hourglass main body but much fat legs which also make them pear like...
      -------
      I really DON'T think you're skinny cuz your waist measurement is 9 inches smaller than your bust and butt!
      I'm 5'4 117pounds, 33-23-35, most ppl say I'm CURVY...
      when I'm less than 110 pounds, ppl DO say I'm skinny
      anyway you might have more muscles than I so that you can appear thinner
      having thin legs or arms can also make ppl THINK that you're skinny

42. QUESTION:
    Bust 41 waist 33.5 hips 41 what body shape?
    Im having a hard time finding my actual body shape. Every site seems to have different definitions. My bust, waist and hips are about 6 inches apart, with the measurements above. Help! Hourglass, pear, apple, spoon, ruler, my head is spinning!
    What shape am I?

    • ANSWER:
      Hourglass because your waist is smaller than your bust and hips.

      Pear shaped is when someone has narrow shoulders, a small bust and heavier on the hips.

      Apple shaped is when someones whole body is round, there are no, if any, defining measurements. Everything is round.

      Banana shaped is when the person is thin and there measurements are almost all the same size. Almost like a cylinder.

      I've actually not heard of spoon or ruler shaped.
