Apparently I'm a skittle. I have a big bust, a small waist and big hips with fat legs. It's a nightmare shopping for pants. They're normally at least 4 inches too big on the waist to fit my big legs! Hate it, hate it, hate it!.

body types
Hi NessaSonic,
You are an pear and an hourglass, and most likely a mesomorph.
There are various classifications on body typing.
First, there is the standard endomorph (rounder and soft, mass in the abdominal area), ectomorph (delicate and lean, kind of like a ruler shape), and mesomorph (athletic and hourglass). This classification is mainly used for purposes dealing with muscle building. see: Body Type Information - Ectomorph, Mesomorph, Endomorph, also Body Type | Ectomorph, Mesomorph, Endomorph, and http://liftforlife.com/content/bodyb...orph-endomorph
Second, there is the more disease/medical classification, depending upon hip-to-waist ratio. This one only deals with apple (over a .8 ratio) or pear type (under .8). see: The Most Accurate Waist to Hip Ratio Calculator
Third, there is the more general shaping classification of your body, the cone(aka triangle, or apple)/ruler/spoon(aka pear)/hourglass. This typing could also be seen as an updated version of the first group. see: Body Shape Calculator | Ruler, Hourglass, Spoon, Cone Shape, or Four Body Shapes: Hourglass, Ruler, Spoon, Cone
Hope this helps.

I think underneath this I'm an hour glass... I say that because I'm fairly proportional just my hips are a little larger, add to that a long stomach, I'm thankful it doesn't stick out.
But my weight is weird. At 5'3" and 250lbs even my doctor doesn't know how I am about a women's 18in pants and 14 in shirts. he just blames it on ethnicity.
