And it's okay about the ratings. I never even pay attention to them when I look at threads and I am not sure how many people really do.

I... am one of those people who notice those things I am a very visual-person, so to speak, and notice little changes like that. Those bright yellow stars? Heck yeah, a magnet for a visual person like myself. I stare at them when I open every and any thread haha. Like a little kid. I'm visually stimulated. So for this reason I wish I was not so visual because this star bumping as of recent is bothering my "visual flow" lol. I wish they'd just get rid of them, honestly.

Giggle. *hugs timarie*

EDIT: I dunno about Chapman, but I'm a total kinisthene. I mean TOTAL kinisthene. My mind has severe difficulties thinking about anything when not in the middle of DOING what it's thinking!

They probably saw your new pic and got mad that you're smart AND hot. ;p

Funny, I said the same thing to Abi in a PM... Women get jealous very easily and take it out in very strange ways!

Jeese girls! Just keep ganging up why dontcha! LOL

It's the only one I could find where you could see my donk. Haha.

Saw this pic. You're... crazy cute!!!

Yes she is!!!! And if she even dares try say otherwise we shall have to both go clobber some sense into her!

for sure, having small boobs and a big butt does not make you a pear.

What is with that pervading myth anyways? I see it a lot, echapman is hardly the first to think she was a pear because of that.

To be frank, you need to have legs where you can just NEVER get the fat off. Even at my skinniest, I could hardly see the muscle tone in my legs! My calves are difficult to get looking chiseled and sexy, for as much as I workout, because I can never lose the fat off of my legs. You clearly, don't have that issue.

Very much agreed! This goes in to a point I'll make lower where we somewhat disagreed... Mostly a clarification I think and we're really actually saying the same thing differently!

I am going to do a little tweaking to what Abi wrote above but-- from my experience with hourglasses, they gain primarily in the lower abdomen and hips (and because you gain on the hips, this transfers to the butt) and bust (here you can insert Abi's "but!" about if you don't have your hormones in balance), NOT really the thighs, and DO gain a very little in the upper arms (so I've noticed)... about as much as they might put in their thighs. They have just a little in their arms, but not as much as apples, and just a little in their thighs, but not as much as pears. But mostly in their hips and especially lower abdomen. So, based on your photos showing where you hold your weight and based on what you say, I'd say definitely an hourglass.

OK. When I said what I said I was sort of distinguishing but not saying it clearly enough between two types of gain. Fat and muscle.

We tend to gain muscle gains in our arms and chests and legs and not much fat, just enough to soften it up. The arm muscle is also much less dense than the leg muscle on an hourglass. We really do tend to have very nice limbs. Tones ridiculously easy with hardly any effort at all. Just daily life is enough if you're a mesomorph hourglass.

Our LOWER hips also tend to be more muscle than fat gains. While our UPPER hips put on the pudge along with lower abdomen.

And part of what makes our boobs perky is that we really truly do get a muscular bust. Seriously. We have some of the leanest perkiest "strongest" breast shapes of all the types!

But, to confirm it, I'd need measurements! Can you snag a tape measure and measure your hips/butt (around the widest part of your derriere), waist (smallest part, and tighten your abs, as ordered by Dr. Oz), and I already saw the measurement for your bust. And how tall are you, Echapman?

Haha. I honestly don't need more confirmation! But hey, let's do it! Measuring is fun!

EDIT: And ah! Yeah... should've figured some more history would be needed.
