Calling All Pear-Shapes!!!!!

KarmaxKitty

I don't get to see a lot of pear shaped women, and a lot of people seem to think that a pear isn't "the norm" (which we all know...there is now such thing...)

Is it possible to get picks from some of you ladies so I can see what an actual pear looks like? I think im somewhere between pear and hour glass...

Yes yes, I am a pear as well. A Honkytonk Badonkadonk and not a lot of upstairs action (less and less as I lose weight lol)

I realize all people are different, but speaking for myself, what a woman is packing "upstairs" is nowhere near as important as what she has "in the loft" (to carry the metaphor.) I find a woman's mind far more attractive than her bust size or any other physical feature. I find a woman's mind... her intelligence, wit, charm, sensitivity, sense of humor, etc...to be far more appealing, personally.

Oh, alright... fine! I'm also a hopeless "eye" guy, too! There, I said it! Happy?! :blushing:

My measurements look pearish now compared to when I was bigger. But i wouldn't say I'm a pear exactly. More banana.

33-25-35 ish

i donno. My thighs are big because I'm a runner. 20 inches. and they always chafe =[ !

I am a pear normally just not currently. I ran out of rooms in my thighs/rear/hips and it translated upwards. That's when I realized I actually had a weight problem... Can't wait to lose enough weight to have a pear shape again.

Extreme pear here!!! My measurements now are 33-27-43, I weigh 153 lbs at 5'5. You are welcome to check out my profile/pics.

Pear here too, 37 29 42, the first place to gain weight though is my gut and luv handles.

eatrunstretch

Yep, definite pear! 36 31 43. Hate it but I am doing something about it! My husband, who packs it around the middle when he's not careful, sometimes jokes that between us we have a nice top half and a nice bottom half so together we're perfect!

Caz2678

Yup i am a pear too! I have always had a flat tummy, but i have HUGE hips, thighs and calves. I carry ALL my weight on the bottom half! Well maybe with the exception of the fat on my upper arms lol

Chest: 34"
Waist: 30"
Hips: 40.5"

I was looking for a pic, but i have no idea how to post one lol

missfluffyuk

pear shapes are women who have larger hips but their top is skinny (average size boobs). small waist.

hour shape glass women are women who have larger hips and big breast as well. small waist.

I always thought of myself as a pear but now someone's mentioned hourglass I think that's more me as I'm 36-32-37 although I'm never quite sure where to measure re hips and tend to go for the stomach!

Oh okay I'm only a B cup but my bust and hips are fairly close in size. I'm just me I guess

aqua_zumba_fan

So when measuring hips do people tend to go for bums rather than stomachs or somewhere in between? If as it says below it's round the butt my final measurement is much higher
Found this which might be of interest:
"What Kind of Fruit Are You? Take your waist-to-hip ratio by wrapping a flexible measuring tape around your waist right at the belly button. Then measure around your hips at the largst part of your butt. Divide your waist measurement by your hip measurement. If this ratio is less than 0.80 you're a Pear. If it's above 0.85 you're an Apple. If it's in between you're an Avacado. BUT... if your waist-to-hip ratio is between 0.80 and 0.85, but total body fat and weight are much lower than an average Avacado's, then you're a Banana."

I'm not sure how to post pics here but I'll try. This is me about 7 pounds lighter but you can see I'm a pear shape no matter what size I am

I honestly don't know what "shape" I am. I have an athletic frame (under all the fat)
I am wide in the chest with small-ish boobs, and getting smaller with the pounds dropping
I have a "thick" waist, I carry a lot of weight on my stomach.
And my hips are wide-ish. With skinny-ish legs.

What a sight I am!

blackgirlfit

this whole time i thought I was a pear shaped but a few MFPers said my body is more hour glassy. I'm a 34c but with a good victoria secret bra they look like Ds lol.

You'd qualify as a banana, or if you're familiar with Trinny and Susannah, you're a brick. Flattering sounding, eh? Hello, I'm Flausa, and I too, am a brick.

stephyy4632

this is from August 20th and I was around 189-190 at that time

my current messurments are 36D - 33waistband - 42 hips ( 5foot 5inches and 177pounds)

HollieDoodles

Umm... I don't post pics of myself from the chest down, for that very reason. I don't want to scare anyone! LOL

Yep, I'm a pear... actually, a pear and 1/2. Ugh. BUT not forever cuz I've made up my mind to change that.

electricmeow

I am definitely a pear! I've been told this since I was little.

150lbs
Bust: 32
Waist: 27
Hips: 37

I have really fit arms, and large thighs for my body.

When I get to be 140lbs or so I will probably have the measurements I had this Spring:
Bust: 31
Waist: 26
Hips: 35.5

bprague

I am a true pear. I have wear a 30 band on my bra, have a 25 inch waist, 38.5 inch hip, and 22 inch thighs. PEAR

Ah but I posted the wrong measurement - should have measured round my bum. So I think I am probably a pear/hourglass. Need to do the sums

Jennplus2

Easiest way for me to tell my shape is to look at my shadow. I have large boobs so I thought I was a hour glass, but nope. I saw my shadow while walking in yoga pants and I was like "holy pear-shape, Batman!" :laugh:
Try it out, stand tall with the sun behind you and you will see what I mean!
( I have pix on my profile but I don't know how to post. )

HighenSugar

Definitely a Pear.
This is me at my heaviest earlier this year. Unfortunately I hit that weight again last month. I'm currently trying to lose weight...again. This time I will stick with it!!
