Re: From Glamour magazine: how average are you?
I'm 5'4" and satisfied with my body weight and shape.
Otherwise, I'm smaller for all other categories. I guess this is the one time being "below average" is good.

REALLY?!?! Only 10% apples??? I find that HARD to believe. Im hardcore apple and see many, many, fellow apples out there...
I agree.
many people wrongly guess their shape as hourglass, especially busty women.
to be hourglass, your bust/waist/hip measurements must be somewhere around 10 inches apart (36-26-36 being the traditional "model") but there are variations.
hourglass store fat fairly proportionally over their body, often weight more than they look, and tend to gain weight LASTLY in their waste
This is exactly me...that's interesting!

I am not so normal (though I didn't need Glamour to tell me that  )
I also find it EXTREMELY hard to believe that the majority of women are actually hour glassed shaped when the average waist size is 36.5 inches.
That's exactly what I was thinking.
That would be one VERY large hour glass. Doesn't make any sense!

there are also "bottom heavy" hourglasses where there may be a slighly larger hip measurement.
the main component though is how and where you store fat.
hourglass store fat fairly proportionally over their body, often weight more than they look, and tend to gain weight LASTLY in their waste
wow- you just solved one of my biggest mysteries in life
I never really knew what my shape was
I always thought I was just an hour glass
but I am a little smaller on top then the hips
thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
people always think I weigh 10 to 15 lbs LESS then I do as well- which I am not complaining about

Re: From Glamour magazine: how average are you?
I'm average to larger in everything....
weigh more... size is larger... much taller, shoe size obviously must be larger (or else I'd tip over!).... I'm an hourglass...so at least I'm on target on that one...
