It really depends on the other measurements of your body. Just use the calculator mentioned above. You may well be an apple as they are certainly not always overweight. You may also find my article on how to hide your belly interesting https://40plusstyle.com/how-to-hide-your-belly/

In reply to Jennie. I agree with Jennie, I am 49 and every part of my body is as small if not smaller than a lot of teenagers today except for my belly getting bigger and sticking out. I am 5'1 and weigh 120 so I am not over weight just big belly so what would I be?

In reply to Jennie. Hi Jennie. The illustration is from the My Private Stylist programme. I have another illustration in my book that I have created myself and will look at replacing the image with that one soon as I do understand your concerns.

hi, I just wanted to comment on the image of the body types, I find it a tad insulting that the apple shape is illustrated in a over weight state while the other body-types are in a more leaner state. I understand that it helps to understand the difference between the body types but you could at least have made all of them extreme or over weight. Some people have the apple shape without being over weight and a lot of people with the other body-types are over weight as well! I mean on the illustration the apple-body have even bigger thighs than the triangle-body! And that usually never is the case. Now the apple-body have rather skinny arms and legs because the weight tend to get to the midsection. But if you look at the illustration the calves, arms, neck are bigger and even the knees! the apple-girl even has a different, more laid back and ashamed pose. I mean that is just not right! It gives the impression that all the other body-types are different ways of a seductive body to love and be confident about but the apple is kind of the sad, less-beautiful and unattractive type.

Now I don’t know if you simply borrowed the illustration I simply wanted to express my opinion in the matter and hope to get a respond of your thoughts in return!
