5' 6"-5'8" ladies what's your SW, GW and body shape

I'm 5'8"

For My Fitness Pal (I joined in March), my SW was 262. Currently 235.

GW of 220 for this year...long term GW undetermined, probably in the 180-200 range.

Currently wearing a 1X top and 18 in most things, although a few of my 20's still fit well enough that I'd say I'm an 18/20 right now.

I am a pear shape but not drastically so at this point. I do think the more weight I lose, the more pear shaped I appear...but I am ok with that.

I'm feeling kind of like a freak of nature here- wasn't going to reply to this thread but now I'm curious lol.

I'm 5'7"
Starting Weight- 280
Current Weight- 205
Goal Weight- 150

I've always considered myself to have an hourglass figure, even at my heaviest. My chest and hips are proportionate and my waist has always been smaller than both.

The reason I feel like a freak is that I'm currently wearing (comfortably, not too tight AT ALL) a size 12 pant. I'm seeing all these beautiful women on here posting about how they wear a 12 or a 14 and they all weigh at least 30 lbs less than me. What gives?

I am pear shaped.. the first place I lost weight was my boobs, and the last place is going to be my butt and legs

I'm 5'6.75" and a pear.
SW: 150+, with 32" waist, size 10+
CW: 127, with 35.5" size 2/4
GW: n/a - just want to continue toning and building a bit of muscle and definition. That may take me up and down a few pounds.

It took me a while to get the fitness thing down. I have a busy schedule, long commute, etc. I've found consistency and myfitnesspal to be key. Diet is 90% of weight loss, no matter how hard you work out.

I welcome new friends!!

I'm 5'6, age 25 and pear shaped.
SW: 130
CW: 121
GW: 120

I started out with a GW of 115, but I don't think that's going to be very possible or healthy for me. I'm debating going on maintenance very soon, but I'm nervous about it. I'm currently at 1200 calories/day. Any of you ladies who've reached your goal have any tips for going on maintenance. Should I do it gradually?

Zelinna · July 2013

I going to guess its dependent on where you carry your weight. I'm 190 lbs and fit comfortably in a size 12 and my sister is 165-170 lbs and wears a 12-14. I have no hips and butt but she does. My mother wears a 14 and weighs about 30 more lbs than me but her body shape is different than mine as well.
