Pear Shapes-Show me your before and after pics!

julieh391

Right now I'm 5'7" 199lbs (hopefully less, haven't weighed myself in a week) and a size 18 with huge hips and thighs (50" hips, 29.5" thighs.) I realized the other day that my thighs are bigger than my waist was until just a few years ago. Ouch. Just looking for some inspiration. Show me what I have to look forward to!

Well I started out with my hips at more than 53 inches. The 53 inches was when I measured after losing my first 5 pounds.

Now my hips are around 40.5 inches. can't wait to break into the 30s! lol. my waist started at more than 47 inches, now at 36.


I started on MFP 14 months ago and I've been exercising 5-6 days per week since then. This is my new account so the dates don't match up

I'm not posting pics becuase Miss Michelle_00 will put me to shame....well done btw epic transformation!

I started 01st Jan on 210lbs waist of 48 and hips to match! Which I found a bit odd as i have always classed myself as a pear but numbers dont lie!

But on 29th April my pear shape reappeared I am now 192 waist of 42 and hips of 45...doesn't sound a lot but I am only 5ft 2 and when I post my 6 month progress on 01st June I hope to see a huge difference!

I love being pear shaped....embrace it!

Thanks so much! I started out with all exercise bike for a few months. Then I started doing DVDs half the time. Now I mostly do DVDs, plus a couple of walks per week and rollerblading maybe once per week. I do Jillian Michaels DVDs a lot. I love her No More Trouble Zones. Another favorite of mine is on netflix===kickbox bootcamp! I love that one.
And I used to eat about 1800 but now I almost always eat about 1600.

BUMP! I've been told I'm an hourglass, and I was probably. but I think now my shape is more of a pear since losing weight. Really would like to see the progress of us curvy girls

Today, as I studied myself in the mirror... I realized that I'm a weird pear/hourglass hybrid.

No. Really.

My hips and chest measurements match. My waist dips in quite a bit (despite being overweight). But... when you see me with clothes on I look pear shaped (probably because of the shape of the clothes I wear). It's the weirdest thing.

Anyway... *cough* My favorite body shape IS the pear shape. I think it's pretty...

I am definitely pear-shaped (buying jeans/pants is a challenge...always too big in the waist!), but these aren't quite "after" photos yet.


about 90 pounds lost


about 100 pounds lost

First time posting pics, eep



Current me is sandwiching old me in the pics. The older pics are super unflattering, but it was those or ones of me hiding behind people, or over posing and you can't quite tell my hip size in those... and this is a "pear" thread, no?

I'm 5'7" and there was about 35 pounds difference between the pictures. Changes in measurements (approx):
Waist: 31.5" to 26"
Hips: 43" to 38"
