I'm a pear shape with a hip to waist ratio of 0.61 also short at 5'2". How is your weight loss going? Share your challenges and success stories If you have close to similar ratio. If you are not aware of the ratio just divide your narrowest waist measurement by your hip measurement to get your number.

    I could be considered pear shaped (or not). I don't know but anyways, my ratio is 0.63 and am 5'6. Originally lost over 70 pounds then bulked and recomped and now re-losing some of my bulk pounds (only 5-10 to go).

    I am definitely a pear but it is possible to lose those inches. It's just slow! I've lost 3 inches on my hips and 2 on my thighs since January. But what a difference those 3 inches made. Recently I ordered a pair of pants online and they fit! It was a miracle. Pant shopping has always sucked for me.

    0.7 here and weight loss is going fine. I don't see how this is relevant to weight loss.

    I'm pear shaped but no idea what my hip to waist ratio is... But my weight loss is consistent with how much food I put in my mouth if that's any help?

    My ratio is 0.72, some things I have noticed about working out: leggings/shorts with no drawstring are not an option for any workout involving impact and ALWAYS check transparency of althetic pants prior to walking out the door. I will definitely have to pull up my leggings at least twice during any workout, haha I have gotten much more comfortable doing this in public because it's better than plumber butt. These are probably the same for anyone else as well, but they are things that I learned the hard way. I think everything is pretty much the same as everyone goes through.

    I just googled. I'm .68 with a 27 inch waist and 40 inch hips. I used to have a 29 inch waist and 44 inch hips (whoa baby) and I've NEVER had larger than a 34 inch bust.

    My challenge was getting my legs and butt to lean out. I'm 5'4" and a heavy lifter, so at 128 (my leanest) I wanted to bulk. My legs were still fatty but you could see every rib without sucking in or manipulating it. Size x-s shirts were sometimes too big. My chest was absolutely non-existent and odd looking. I cried in a Victoria's Secret because I couldn't get a bra to fit (that place is stupid and cheap anyway).

    Anyway, one of goals after my initial hip decrease from 44 inches to 37, was to build my butt back UP again but with muscle. Now my hips are at 40 inches and look WAY better than the 37 inches.

    I miss that 26 inch waist though. Crop top waist.

    My hip to waist ratio is .68 and I'm 5'3. I've lost inches around my hips, but it's not as noticeable as the rest of my body.

    It can be relevant beyond the scale. How is it not relevant? She just asked to share stories.

    I should have added that when I started out this process years ago my ratio was 0.61.

    I'm 5,7" with a ratio around 0.7. I lose in my mid section and face first, then chest and arms, thighs are always last.

    The only frustrating thing when losing is that all of my pants get that space in the back above my butt. I'm sure you other pear shaped ladies know what I'm talking about. It's challenging to find pants that fit my thighs without an extra few inches around the waist line.

    I'm a pear too, not sure on ratio. Us pears seem to lose proportionately all over whereas apples seem to just lose their bellies. I've lost 70# and am the exact same shape (small waist, big butt and thighs), but a smaller version.

    .73 right now. The difference between my waist and hips has been between 12-14 inches throughout my weightloss, and I began with what I think was a quite severe bottom-heavy pear shape. But despite that my body surprised me and transformed to more hourglass in figure the closer I got to goal.

    However my weightloss got interrupted by pregnancy, I had my baby, am up about 35 lbs now from my pre pregnancy weight, and am back to having more of a bottom-heavy figure again.

    Buying pants as I lose the weight has been frustrating for me. My waist gets smaller and hips just stay the same. So even if I go up in size then it's super big around my waist. I just want to wear shorts comfortably. Oh well I'll just keep working at it.

    .75 and it used to be greater when I worked out less--that's really leaned my hips, but I still have the classic pear or hourglass shape. Weight from the hips is the last part to go, but it does go, eventually.

    I am between a pear and hourglass (shoulders and hips are same width, but small chest) my ratio is .66 at 5'2. I would like to lose abother 2 inches off my hips but my waist is fine I think aside from a slight lower belly pooch.

    I'm 5'4 172 lb and my ratio is .68 My weight loss is going well. I'm down 53 since last November. My boobs and my stomach go first. I've been hitting my leg days hard and I do HIIT 2-3 a weeks as well. I always carry my weight below my waist but I'm hopeful that all the weight training and HIIT will get me some definition in my legs the closer I get to my goal weight.
