I'm still a pear. Just a smaller pear0

But, you are right about changing body shape. My bigger shoulders balance out my lower body better now.0

My current profile photo. I've been shedding fat in the last month & can see some quad definition. A bit more than a month has passed since I took the bikini pic. I've added accessories to Stronglifts, doing Ice Cream Fitness 3x week.0 -

It's right what you say about balancing out body shapes ie your bigger shoulders balancing out your pear shaped assets.
I am a proper pear too, and at best there is one dress size between top half and bottom half, but usually 2 dress sizes. My waist is pretty small so buying jeans has always been a nightmare etc etc.
I always used to "diet" in order to try and lose the inches from my ample bottom and thighs, but of course the weight came off more (or showed more, at least) from my already small top half, and the end result was that I still had ample thighs and butt, but had puny upper body, you could see my ribs, had no boobs etc, and that all made it look as though there were actually 3 dress sizes between top half and bottom half.
Therefore, even at my lightest weight I actually looked more ridiculous than I did when I was heavy. Now, like you, I am noticing an evening out of my top half and bottom half and am aiming to become more hourglass over time (although I'll never have the boobage!).
Photos like these give me a real incentive to carry on. For so many years in the past I've simply been fed (excuse the pun) the "hip and thigh diet" etc.....so Thank you and keep on posting the progress please!!!

As always, hard word does indeed pay off. I need all the inspiration I can get especially this time of year. I haven't had a SL workout in a week. Must start back up today or tomorrow.0

Just for sake of updating and to encourage women to keep lifting: I hit my goal weight of 120 about a little over a week ago. Switched to maintenance calories and have been consistently eating more. I've really concentrated on keeping my protein up. I'm running the PHUL program and love it. Today I am at 118.8 lbs. haven't seen the "teens" since I was a teen, lol. I have abs, now, too!
