Do you know that your new body shape is?

As our body shapes change it can be a challenge to dress our 'new' bodies so that we emphasize our new assets and minimize our new challenges. I certainly don't want to tell anyone what their personal 'style' should be, but I found a fabulous resource that helps define what your new body shape is with a Body Shape Calculator and then provides tips to dress each shape to maximize the shape we have.

Here is the url for the Body Shape Calculator:http://www.shopyourshape.com/calculate-your-body-shape.html. It's like having your own Gok Wan or Stacy and Clinton to help you with which shapes will work best to show off your new 'Shape.'

Have fun!

Pretty cool.. I am an hourglass- they say to accentuate with belts and such.. but I just hate snug stuff on my waist, lol.. I will just have to keep not properly dressing my figure!

I am still loving life with my sleeve! Been maintaining at or below goal for over 4 years!

You are fixing 'this' one step, one pound at a time. Just keep going... and know that you are not a 'Blob', no matter what size or shape you are right now.

Boy can I relate to this one! I have thought of myself as looking and feeling like the Pillsbury dough boy. I am loosing weight (ever so slowly) and now have off between 55 - 60 lbs. Its up and down. I changed sizes when I had lost about 40 lbs. not since. As a matter of fact I think my @#$% belly gets bigger as my weight shifts. Basically I feel soft and mushy. I don't like it.
