    I have the opposite problem. I'm shaped like an apple. So far I've only become a smaller apple.:brokenheart: Its going to take a lot of weight loss before my waste begins to take on the former hour glass shape. :blushing:

    I think it was been said the last to get off was the first to be put on:ohwell: .

    Try to be happy that you have the typical feminine shape with a waist. :tongue: I on the other hand I will just keep rolling along.:sad:

    I am pear-shaped.. always been more thin in my upper body, while losing weight.. and reaching my goal weight.. I did lose weight in my upper body much more than my bottom half from what it looks. But i've been doing alot of jogging/running lately and weight training and it's helped lose a few inches

    Statistics show that pear shaped women are associated with having children with higher IQs. High five!

    WOO! That's good news! And must be why my brothers and I are so smart... THANKS pear-shaped Mom!! :)

    Pear shaped here also...I strongly agree with the heavy weight lifting. I have been using Chalean Extreme, it is another Beachbody program. It is done in 3 phases: Burn, Push, Lean. The Push phase you are lifting very heavy. This program has done wonders for my pear shape so far, still a work in progress. I do tend to pair it up with HIIT type training like Insanity or Turbo Fire.

    The answer is estrogen. It causes us hip heavy women to gain all our weight in our thighs hips and butt. Certain foods can help and exercises. I understand the pain tho. I have NO fat on my stomach in fact I have abs and yet here I am do jumps and lying on the bed just trying to get my pants size 8! on over my booty. So frustrating.
