Can I change my body shape? Like get a slim waist and wide hips somehow?

[Anonymous]

I'd like to be hourglass shape because I think that's what most guys find sexy. Unfortunately I'm more like Y, X or apple. :( WHen I was skinny, I didn't have hips at all and my waist was tiny but not significantly smaller than my hips (waist 23", hips 29"). Now I'm a lot fatter and have extra weight I need to lose, but everything is on my waist and my belly sticks out further than my boobs etc... it's wider than my breasts and hips :( I know I need to lose the extra weight but is there any chance to get a different body shape somehow?

It's possible, but it takes a lot of hard work and dedication!

For my boobs I do the "chi massage" every night with tea tree oil and coconut oil mixed together to help them grow. Check out this forum for more info on boobie growth https://www.breastnexus.com/index.php

For my waist I waist train and wear a corset. I try to do 6-8 hours a day minimum.

For my butt I squat heavy, do deadlifts, heavy lunges, leg press, and hyperextensions.

I've been working on becoming for hourglass on and off for the past 4 years. I don't do these things every single day of my life if I did I'd probably be at my goal by now, but I'm fairly lazy lol. When you stop doing them your results will deteriorate a little bit, but not much. I'd say out of a year I spend about 4 months in total doing these things on a daily basis like I should.

My body measurements are currently 38-25-39 so it does work it just takes effort and patience. I think that if I wasn't so damn lazy and put in work every single day of the year I would have easily reached my goal a long time ago.

Boobies are the hardest out of all of the things I said to work on. You probably won't get to a 38" bust like I did because I started when I was only 15 and my hormones were still developing so I think that's how I got most of my boob growth, but the waist and booty are definitely achievable. You just have to set goals and work towards them

Unfortunately, not through natural means such as by exercise or diet. You can't determine where your body tends to store fat and stuff like that. Some women's bodies tend to store any extra body fat in their lower half and not their waist. Other women's bodies tend to store any extra body fat in their waist.

All you have control over is how in shape you are, not what actual shape you are. Being in shape will look great no matter what your natural body shape is. And knowing how to properly dress your body shape is very important. I have the same inverted triangle body shape (nonexistent hips, small but undefined waist, wider shoulders) and definitely know that not all clothes go well with it.

I avoid pencil skirts and stick to A-line to add volume to my lower half. Bottoms like flared jeans and loose sweatpants paired with fitted shirts gives the illusion that your bottom half is bigger and balances everything out well. I try to avoid adding any sort of volume to my top half. It's a matter of balancing out your top half with your bottom.

[NotJustAnotherGuy]

First sentence is a lie. Stopped there.

[EyeSeaYew]

@NotJustAnotherGuy Women can't change what their natural body shape is through exercise or diet. A woman who is straight up and down is not going to wake up one day and have a tiny curved in waist and big hips and big boobs just because she went to the gym. It doesn't work that way.

[NotJustAnotherGuy]

Arnold Schwartzengger achieved the greatest waistline ever through stomach vacuums. It's not magic, it's not surgery, it's a natural manipulation of the body. It's an exercise that reduces your waistline. Do this, plus build strong legs and WOAH! An hourglass body! Magic? Nope! It's exercise.

[CreativeXD]

She's right you know @NotJustAnotherGuy- we All have our 'shape' we were born with. And there's No freaking reason to try and change it! So girly- (the asker) - embrace your body! Instead of trying to change it, work with it! Wear things that'll flatter you and avoid the things that don't! Now you should still exercise and lose the weight because that'll get you to being the best version of you that you can be😄 But don't stress what can't- and shouldn't- be changed💜

[NotJustAnotherGuy]

And you're right, you can't wake up one day and suddenly be curvy. Gyms don't work like that. Fitness takes years. Your unrealistic expectation of waking up one day and suddenly being transformed is testament to your failure, not the gyms.

[NotJustAnotherGuy]

@CreativeXD No she isn't right at all. Google: Wasp Waists, for the prime example of how entirely wrong you are about how your body shape is birth given. Your body shape is dictated by your environment-- which can be easily manipulated and also reversed. And she should take her weight a lot more seriously, not be super, like, chill about it, girl. Obesity is an epidemic in our generation and your excessive belief in being accepting is harmful to societies progression.

[EyeSeaYew]

@NotJustAnotherGuy It's not always just a matter of reducing your waistline when it comes to an hourglass shape. One reason is because of the boobs. Being well-endowed in the boob department is rather important for an hourglass shape. A lady with flat boobs would have to either get breast augmentation or wear super padded wonder bras, neither of which are natural options.

Another reason is because of the lower body. An hourglass shape involves a dramatic contrast between the size of the waist and size of the hips. Even if a woman with narrow hips were to gain some weight in her hips, it wouldn't take on a curvaceous shape like how a woman with wide hips would. And whether you have narrow or wide hips depends on your bone structure.

[EyeSeaYew]

@NotJustAnotherGuy A wasp waist is NOT natural. It is created though corsets.

[CreativeXD]

Yeah anything can be 'manipulated' doesn't mean it has to be- she's not gonna magically form the hips she wants, if you weren't aware hips are a bone structure, that guess what- you're born with. And I said, she still needs to lose the weight, not just for asthetic reasons but for health reasons as well. So no one is telling her to be, like, totally chill about it.
I'm the first proponent on not telling people to just accept their bodies as it is when it's fat- that it's not okay to tell your kids to stop eating crap, cause they shouldn't be- or saying its wrong to say a girl shouldn't wear a middrift bearing top when they've got an excess of flub around them, cause they shouldn't it gives others the wrong impression- what I AM saying is that when it comes to boob butt hip shoulders- ANY STRUCTURAL AND NATURAL SHAPING that should be accepted. Cause you'll spend your whole life trying to change what doesn't have to be for No reason. @NotJustAnotherGuy

[NotJustAnotherGuy]

No, an hourglass does not have to be about breasts. It's about being the shape of an hourglass... which means wide top, thin middle, wide bottom. If you have a thin waist through stomach vacuums you will have an hourglass body. This is basic geometry.

Secondly, stop throwing out the word natural as if it means anything. Everything humans do and use is not natural by definition (natural = occurring without human interference-- which if you can read means it can't possibly apply to the human body)

Thirdly, let's replace natural with an appropriate word that we really mean which is NON-SURGICAL.

Finally what is this?

www.amazon.com/.../ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

Oh it's a breast exercise that makes your breast bigger and proven through statistical study. Wow... magic again? Nope. Science. Stop living under a rock.

You're 100% wrong. Not just partially. Accept it. So the rest of society can grow without you impeding on their success with lies fueled by ignorance.

[NotJustAnotherGuy]

@CreativeXD it is for a reason. It's called aesthetics. And sexual appeal is important to ourselves for a variety of reasons, not just others. People shouldn't be told to just live with their tiny penises and accept it and that other people should accept it (even though they won't), when they can change that aspect of themselves and forever increase their confidence as well as mental and social health.

Hip size can be adjusted through exercise and wrapping as well. And is a product of your environment again. If you knew anything about "what you're born with", you'd know "big bones" don't really exist--- aside from serious genetics diseases (E. g. Andre The Giant)--- and hips are no exception to this. You don't have big or small hips because you have big or small bones. The ridiculousness of your claims are getting out of control. You're grasping straws desperately trying to be right in some small way, but sadly you are 100% wrong, as I said earlier.

[EyeSeaYew]

@NotJustAnotherGuy This is an hourglass: peopros.com/.../Amanda-Hourglass.jpg

In correlation with human body shape, that would equal, not just a wide top and bottom, but a FULL top and bottom, with a little, CURVED IN waist. For example: sphotos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/.../...7768_538955347_n.jpg

She has wide, rounded hips, a defined waist that is very noticeably indented in the middle, and a full, round chest. THAT is a true hourglass.

Thin middle doesn't automatically equal hourglass shape. You need an indention in your waist to be a true one. Not all women have a natural indention in their waist. Some women's waists are straight up and down, so even if they got really fit and trim, they would still have a straight up and down waist, it would just be skinny. In order to get an indention if you weren't born with one, you need something like a corset. Exercise alone isn't going to put a deep indent in your waist, it's just going to make your waist smaller.

[CreativeXD]

Excuse me, I think you've mistaken your Opinion with fact and mine with self delusion. You've fabricated a point I did not make. I did not once mention Big or Small bones. I said structure. The Structure, as I I've clearly stated, has nothing to do with the make up of the bone itself, but it's shape. If not- how the hell do you think we have shape in the first place. Some people are Structured more narrow, others more rounded, etc. That Bone isn't gonna change naturally. Point Blank Period.
Keep wrapping and excersing your testicles praying it'll grown Hun- tell the world how that turned out for ya, I'm sure there are plenty of boys out there who would love to hear your 'success' story😄😑 @NotJustAnotherGuy

[EyeSeaYew]

@NotJustAnotherGuy Yes, hip SIZE can be adjusted. But hip width has much to do with your bone structure. Some women simply are not going to get full, rounded hips. Their hips make increase in SIZE due to gaining fat or muscle, but a curvaceous rounded shape can't be attained in the gym for many women.

Because of factors like bone structure and where your own individual body stores fat, there is definitely a limit to how much a woman can modify her body shape without crossing into the obsessive and extreme. Women are definitely shaped differently and while your shape can be altered to a degree, a woman with a banana shaped body is more than likely NEVER going to be able to look like this: tiwasblog.com/.../bighipsss.jpg

And it's important for a woman to know that, so that she doesn't aspire for something completely unrealistic.

[NotJustAnotherGuy]

Now you've gone so far as to try to prove that an hourglass figure can't be made through waist size reduction alone... wow.. this thread is unreal. The tangents are just.. mind blowing.

Waist reduction (no boobs/little boobs) REAL hourglass figure ) not kind of hourglass figure like you posted)
t2.gstatic.com/images

Still throwing around the word natural like you know what it means. Haha. WASP WAISTS. Do you read anything I write? You can reduce your waistline "naturally" and get an hourglass figure. It's not genetics. It's environment. Stomach vacuums will reduce your waistline. It's as proven as 1+1=2. And to now make the claim you need a corset-- even if this is a necessity (not) how does this not fit your entirely ridiculous use of the word natural? It's clothing. It's your ENVIRONMENT, not your genetics. Not the body you're born with. As I've said from the beginning, we control our body shape.. not genetics.

P. S. wearing a corset / wrapping is a form of exercise, just like stretching

[EyeSeaYew]

@NotJustAnotherGuy You do know that the picture of an hourglass figure you posted is very unhealthy and unrealistic, right?

And a small waist alone does not make an hourglass figure. Again, combo of full, round hips, indented waist, and full, round boobs make a true, realistic hourglass. The picture you posted was of a very freaky looking woman who was obviously trying way to hard to have the literal measurements of an actual hourglass.

[NotJustAnotherGuy]

Right because only extremes exist... if her waist was any bigger than that it wouldn't still create an hourglass figure (HINTHINT sarcasm)..

Hourglass with little boobs (not exaggerated-- because I clearly have to be extremely specific to establish a point with you because you master in irrational tangents)
www.ghostofaflea.com/archives/CarmenKass.jpg
media-cache-cd0.pinimg.com/.../...eae3b70608e9.jpg

It's basic geometry. I don't understand how you can't comprehend that an hourglass figure focuses on a ratio of 2:1:2, top:middle:bottom If you reduce your middle size, you get closer to the ratio, you don't HAVE to increase top and bottom.

And this isn't even anywhere near on point, I'm just going out of my way to prove how you are literally wrong at everything and recklessly hinder society's progression with ignorant stubbornness masked as pseudo expertise. The point WAS she can change her body shape through non-surgical, non-medicinal means through things such as diet and exercise. Which was your first statement. Which was entirely wrong.

[NotJustAnotherGuy]

It all comes back to this:

"All you have control over is how in shape you are, not what actual shape you are."

[CreativeXD]

And your last point sir, is the one we've been making😊

[EyeSeaYew]

@NotJustAnotherGuy The women in the pictures you gave are closer to a banana shape. Try again.

The asker specifically asked if she can get a different body shape, an hourglass shape, and get wider hips. As we have already established, exercise and diet will not give you a true, full hourglass shape unless your bone structure is already leaning towards that shape. And you certainly cannot widen your hips (increase their size, yes, widen them, no). Your trying to convince otherwise is what is "hindering" society. Some women are focused on getting a "perfect" hourglass shape and frankly that is unrealistic for many. Even if a woman slims down her waist a little bit or gains a little more muscle in her hips, that's not going to significantly alter her body shape. Trying to change an inverted triangle body shape to an hourglass with exercise would be futile as heck.

[NotJustAnotherGuy]

@CreativeXD That wasn't my last point... I was quoting eyeseayew.. in an attempt to redirect the conversation back on topic. But the statement is entirely false. And it isn't a point you've been making, it's one you've been suggesting with no rational backing.

@asker You clearly have no idea what a banana looks like. How delusional can you be to think Lucy Mecklenburgh doesn't have an hourglass body... she is literally the same ratio as kim kardashian just with smaller measurements (because she has a smaller waist). It's bad enough you ignore wasp waists altogether and what a TRUE hourglass body looks like, but then more subtle corseting and wrapping you just completely deny exist out right. Like there are extreme wasp waists and nothing else in between. Okay, that's not crazy at all.

[NotJustAnotherGuy]

You can make your hips bigger but you can't widen them? How does this make sense in your head. Because it doesn't in reality. If you make your hips bigger, that makes them wider. That's kind what being bigger means.

Girls who do strength training, have bigger hips. Sprinters, olympic lifters, tennis players, etc.. And even fat girls have bigger hips. It's an area where fat can be store and where muscles are... it can be bigger, it can be smaller.

[NotJustAnotherGuy]

Excuse me for not being extremely direct. When I said it can be bigger and smaller I also meant it can be wider and thinner. Since that's the same thing, in case you'd somehow confuse it.

[EyeSeaYew]

@NotJustAnotherGuy Not all wide hips are all that big, and not all big hips are all that wide. This is a woman with moderately big hips that aren't wide: www.fashion-advices.com/.../...-shaped-300x300.jpg

And this is a woman with wide hips that aren't big: media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/.../...1f128612db5e.jpg

You can change the size of your lower body, but you can't change the shape of it. A woman with narrow hips who regularly does exercises to increase the muscularity and volume of her lower half would likely end up like this: media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/.../...f373194b3ade.jpg

As you can see, the woman in the picture does have narrow hips. But her lower half is also obviously built up and muscular, which simply increases the size, but not the width.

[EyeSeaYew]

@NotJustAnotherGuy Big simply means something is of a considerable size. Width is the distance from side to side of something. So they are different.

[CreativeXD]

I'd like you to address what I wrote to you directly before my last- as it seems you've avoided it because you have nothing to say or no way explain the statements of your opinion... if that's not the case- address it☺️ @NotJustAnotherGuy

[NotJustAnotherGuy]

@CreativeXD I missed your last statement -- but here I'll address it again (even though I've already answered it before you wrote it). You have bone structure (which is clearly what you implied, but again you like to go off on tangents and pretend you meant other things until you're right, so I'll entertain the idea anyways) then you have muscle and fat. Bone size is proven to be relatively equal in most people, and muscle and fat is a product of your environment, Did you not know that muscles can be bigger and smaller? That fat stores can be reduced or increased? Please tell me what the 4th thing is that is not bone, muscle or fat, that people have no control over and yet dictates their hip size. Because otherwise, your bone structure is relatively the same as everyone else's and your muscle and fat can entirely be controlled through exercise and diet.

@Asker show me an anorexic with big hips.

[NotJustAnotherGuy]

Don't just post random people with different hip widths.. that proves nothing. I never made the claim that hip widths don't vary. Some people have muscle, some have fat, some have neither or both. But none of it is bone structure, not of it is uncontrollable. Just because you have big quads, doesn't mean you have big hip flexors, or just because you have tiny legs doesn't mean you can't have big hips.

The fact that you think penis size can't be enlarged, just shows your ignorance. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20102448

It's well proven that stretching/suction lengthens ligaments and that wrapping and compresses reduces sizes. Your wrong. What is delusional is not your ideas / your misinformation... it's your ego holding on to this belief that because you said it, it has to be true now. I've given you facts, studies, proof... while you've given nothing but extremely flawed theories that I've poked a thousand holes in. Yet you still insist you're right, when you're literally wrong about everything so far.

[EyeSeaYew]

@NotJustAnotherGuy I certainly didn't bring up anything about a guy's size down there so I'm really confused as to why you brought that up. And obviously an anorexic is not going to have big hips, an anorexic is starving and once it reaches an extreme level will not have enough fat on her body period to have barely any hips at all. BIG hips come from fat and/or muscle.

Wide hips come from your bone structure and is not just an opinion of mine, it is a fact. That is the main reason why every woman shouldn't aspire to have a thigh gap---it's unrealistic for some. A woman with wide set hips will have widely spaced femurs and an overall wider pelvic girdle. A woman with narrow set hips has a small pelvic girdle and and close set femurs.

[EyeSeaYew]

@NotJustAnotherGuy Here is an example: www.brockhealthmagazine.ca/.../thigh.jpg

The woman on the left obviously has a wider bone structure. She could lose weight and be really slim and the fact that she has wide set hips would not change. Her hips would not be big, of course, but they would still be wider. The woman on the right, on the other hand, could gain weight and she would just have big hips. They simply couldn't be wide set because of her narrow bone structure. If she had a baby they may widen. But otherwise, she'd just have big hips that aren't actually wide.

I really can't believe you're arguing against bone structure when there are so many X-rays and doctors to prove you incorrect. It's rather common knowledge now that individual women's bone structures vary, and that is exactly what gives us different body shapes. Women can NOT all be one same shape with hard work and dedication. Sorry, but the human skeletal structure doesn't work like that.

[NotJustAnotherGuy]

That was suppose to be directed at Creative who denies wrapping does anything.

As for your example, you realize it's photoshopped right? Reveals literally nothing. I can copy paste either of those scans and stretch or compress the picture to the size of my hips. I can stand with my toes in or out to make them look different as well (which is what happens in the picture).

Any girl can have a thigh gap. It has nothing to do with genetics. Once again, wear tight underwear your whole life and that's what you get. Compress your body and it adapts to the form. Our bodies are a product of our environment. It's been proven through cultures like the Kayan (long necks), Imperial China (tiny feet), 19th century tight lacing (small waists), etc..

The hips are not magically immune or otherwise different.

Show me an anorexic woman with 6+ inch WIDER hips. Since they can't be big but they can be wide.

[EyeSeaYew]

@NotJustAnotherGuy Tight-lacing, the usage of neck rings, and feet binding are all EXTREME methods of body shaping that should not be encouraged AT ALL. The fact that you are encouraging methods like that is preposterous. You're basically saying you can conform your body to whatever shape you want as long as you're willing to get extreme about it. Extremity should NEVER be proposed as a good idea. Like seriously, what the heck man? Please don't encourage women to do stuff like that. Seriously.

[NotJustAnotherGuy]

They don't have to be extreme.. you don't wake up one day skinny or fat... slim waist or huge... it develops over years.

If it's extreme to have your body affected this way.. don't wear tight fitting bras since they'll make your beast rounder over time.

The only thing extreme is your intelligence (and let me hint, it's not extremely bright)

[EyeSeaYew]

@NotJustAnotherGuy Just because the methods you are proposing develop slowly do not make them any less extreme, and wearing a bra the fits snugly is not the same as constantly wearing a gradually tightened corset that compresses your internal organs.

A woman shouldn't feel the need to put herself through that crap just to get some stereotypical hourglass figure. Body shape just isn't that serious.

[NotJustAnotherGuy]

Well at least we've finally gotten to the point of admitting our bodies being a product of environment.. now we can address the morality and health of it all.

Considering the only correlation between waist size and life expectancy is a strong negative one (as waist size decreases, life expectancy increases) I would say your theory on compressing organs is entirely baseless. Whereas it's true if you were to wrap to extremes it would reposition your ograns, this isn't proof of a health risk. Even enlarged hearts from extensive cardio were once assumed as unhealthy, and yet proven to be benign. The same is likely true with wrapping. HOWEVER, we are not talking about extremes. We're talking about getting curves just like the ideal woman, so your organs would be in the same position as theirs. And if it's unhealthy to wrap your breast for 3 months to make them more rounded, it is equally unhealthy to create the same effect over 10 years with the type of bra you wear.

[NotJustAnotherGuy]

Of course it isn't unhealthy though. Clothing, exercise and diet has been shaping our bodies since the dawn of time. Cutting down the time span is only a matter of practicality not a matter of healthy or not.

The question was "Can I change my body shape like get a slim waist wide hips somehow"-- the answer is yes. Even if you were to somehow prove wrapping down to a 24" waist is unhealthy (even though I'm fairly certain it isn't given statistics on waistlines and life expectancy) that still doesn't make the answer no.

[Gicelle]

A different body shape... is physically impossible in the sense that you cannot change your skeleton. So for things like thigh gaps, most people will never be able to get it because... it's all about the angle at which the head of your femur fits into your acetabulum (notch in hip bones). That being said, there are ways to build up certain muscles to give yourself a healthier look. I wouldn't go for hourglass because honestly-that's just society's stupid way of trying to get you to spend money on looking 'beautiful'. There are excersizes you can do to build up your butt and tone your stomach... but i would do it to be healthy and to feel confident and good about yourself, not just so some guy finds you sexy.

[NotJustAnotherGuy]

Body shape can be easily manipulated-- but it's doubtful you're going to get the shape you want while carrying a blob of formless fat.

You have to do extensive cardio to cut your fat down to reasonably slim levels, from there you can control your body shapes with several devices and exercises.

E. g. you can get a smaller waist through stomach vacuums (an ab exercise), you can get bigger breast by logging 1000+ hours into a breast enlargement pump, you can lengthen any part through intense stretching, you can thin out any part by wrapping, you can get rid of your double chin with face exercises/stretches.

But that all takes determination and CONSISTENT effort. And failure to achieve it is not a matter of impossibility, but a lack of ambition.

[Asker]

I'm not that fat... and I have never have a significantly smaller waist compared to my hips. Like I mentioned, it used to be around 23" and 29".

[WizardSnake]

You need to change your diet and eating habits, and count the calories you put into yourself.

Ab workouts are not going to target the fat in the ab region, it's just going to make the abs stronger, so disregard that.

What you have to do is to use more kcals than you're putting into yourself. Exercise builds muscles and spend energy, and as long as you don't compensate for it by eating more you will lose weight. A large, but manageable cut would be aiming for 1700 kcals daily and spend about 2500 or more. That would result in a minimum of 2.5kg weight loss pr. month.

PS: If you're obese, then you should be careful with doing running as you can damage your joints. Swimming would be ideal.

[citroen]

the best way to get a wasps waist is to do daily twists. Both arms straight out to either side, feet hip distance apart, then twist from side to side, but only moving the top half of your body around , keeping your hips facing forward at all times. If you do this regularly you will def see results.

[dihydrogenmonoxide]

you may achieve that kate upton body figure, which i personally find to be very sexy.
in order to achieve the hour glass figure, you need wider hipbones, which you do not naturally have.
but, you are able to achieve a tiny waist and that's good, it's close to the hour glass.
and you do have hips, as you have hip bones. you may not have very wide hip bones, but you do have hips.

[BelleGirl21]

If you want wider hips you should have a baby, that's the only way I know of. For a tiny waist youneed to exercise like a mad woman and be veru careful about what you eat. :/

[been_waiting]

no, that is determined by genetics. you can't spot reduce either.

[CreativeXD]

And your last point sir, is the one we've been making😊

[kheserthorpe]

Not dramatically.
