What body type are you?

There are three basic body types. Which one would you say you are?

An ectomorph? - characterized by a light body build with slight muscular development. Hard gainer in terms of muscle and fat; tends to stay lean.
An endomorph? - having a heavy rounded body build often with a marked tendency to become fat. Somewhat easy gainer, but is often obscured by a layer of fat. Hard to lose fat.
A mesomorph? - having a husky muscular body. Easy gainer and can easily lose fat.
Or unsure?

You mention endomorph twice. Your first definition is for an ectomorph. You may want to edit your post.

Whoa, didn't catch that. I would be an ectomorph.

Mesomorph. Gain and lose fat relatively easily... gain muscle mass very quickly.

I'm unsure, I haven't worked hard enough to find out.

Me neither, but I think I am an ectomorph.

I gain muscle and fat pretty easily. Which means I get lazy from time to time and have to start all over again (like now). but no matter how hard I try, even when I have toned arms, chest and legs, my stomach always has a little flab. I had a four pack for a while but that's long gone. So I don't know what I am.

Is it possible that I used to be an endomorph, but now am more like an ectomorph?

I always thought of myself as an endomorph, but that is really just my self image. I always see myself as heavy, even when I was 115 pounds.

Technically I'm a mesomorph. I build muscle easily and have a balanced hourglass figure.
