    i can relate to you completely - its hard not to feel insecure about my hips - right now my measurements are 36 - 25 - 38 and i would like to get the hips to a 36 at least - (its really the only thing on my body that i want to lose from) and to answer your ? about it being sexy or not - i think the majority find it very sexy :) and to be honest - as much as i complain and feel bad - like i have saddle bags and a big butt etc.. id rather have a small waist and big hips (pear or hour glass) then the apple shape - any day - lol :) so embrace it - and learn to love your curves and find clothes that accentuate them :)

    Don't be so insecure about the measurement of your hips. I'm at least 36'' and have NO *kitten*. The measurement will never get any smaller. Sounds like with a 25'' waist, you're probably close to an ideal weight anyway.

    Absolutely attractive. I'm jealous. I want hips. Mine are and always have been (even at a healthy weight) the same measurement as my waist. You are lucky in my opinion.

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

    Personally? I would love to have an hourglass shape like my mom. Since I haven't ever been thin my entire adult life, I'm hoping that under this pudge, that shape is there.

    I am the same way, my hips aren't big anymore because I'm at a lower weight, but my waist and upper body is smaller than my lower half. Personally, I like it. I think a defined waist looks nice! and even if I didn't like it, I don't have any other choice so I might as well :flowerforyou:

    Lately I've noticed that while my waist has gotten quite a bit smaller after losing weight, my hips are still big (in my opinion, although they seem to have more definition now). I'm really not trying to start body shaming anyone, I'm just honestly curious as to whether people find that look attractive.

    the width of your hips is to do with your pelvis/bone structure... not your weight

    Nothing wrong with big hips and a small waist... in fact I would say that was kind of womanly and sexy...

    but I'm old fashioned .... I like feminine looking women and manly men... that's how it rolls in my world :tongue:
    that's true, but where you naturally store fat can also make a difference! I store more fat on my hips than I do anywhere else!

    Nope.

    In fact, it's the least desirable female body shape ever. You should think about bone shaving surgery to remedy this issue.

    I'm pretty sure large hips has been the quintessential mark of sexy ever since we were all roaming the Serengeti because it's supposed to be an indicator of fertility.

    Thanks for the feedback all. I'm really not trying to brag, and I'm still a long way from my goal and from where I would like to be. I'm still somewhat insecure about certain parts of my body, and I'm also in the process of trying to process some of the changes in my body. I'm genuinely curious about other people's opinions is all.

    Personally I think it's very attractive. I have a pear-type body shape (small waist, large hips/butt) and it's one of the things I actually really like about my body. I've had a lot of people say they're jealous of my figure, even when I was overweight. Now that I've lost weight and my waist is small, I'm truly proud of it.

    i think if you honesty want to get to a point where you arent insecure about your body, you stop looking for validation from others on whether or not they find your body type attractive. self confidence comes from the inside, not the outside based on opinions from strangers. self confidence is when you think you are great regardless of what other people may or may not think. i honestly dont see how this type of thread can help with that since it just supports the insecurity
