36x24x36??

You know how magazines recommend clothes based on your body shape? Like, "this dress will look great on a pear shaped body." Or, "these pants are perfect to minimize your tummy if you are apple shaped."

I decided to do body measurements like some of my fellow competitors/weight-loss buddies. And I discovered my body shape isn't really apple, or pear...


It appears I am a cylinder.  My chest and waist are exactly the same. My hips are 2 inches bigger.
No wonder clothes look so bad on me! ;)

Bonus points for anyone who can name the song that inspired my title.

    Glad you took your measurements, it will give you a point of reference to see how far you've come.

  3. That is interesting! I would be more of an apple I guess. I am extremely top heavy so that really throws my clothing fit off.

    I am so glad that we are all being able to do this together.

  7. ....."You can do side bends or sit ups, but please don't lose that butt". I like to think of this song because it makes me feel better about my pear shape.
