    First time posting pics, eep

    xn9sv9.jpg

    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"

    You have insanely amazing calf muscles!!!!!!! Want!

    That comment really made my day! Thanks!

    I always hated my calves because they were so big, now that I lost weight (and probably a little muscle), they're finally able to fit in normal sized boots (well not all, but at least some). :o)

    As you can tell, most of my weight is in my hips and legs. My entire life as long as I can remember I was an hourglass shape, now I am a pear....my boobs have completely gone away, I am sure it is because in less than 2 years I got pregnant, had a baby, breastfed said baby for 8 1/2 months, and lost 42lbs.

    *****sorry my pic is big, there is another one off the page you will have to open in another tab, sorry!****

    WOW! VERY INSPIRATIONAL. You look great, great before and afters. I am too shy to do that!
    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 ;)

    Wonderful! Good job and you look amazing!
    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.

    I started off more 'apple', and find that 45 pounds down I've turned into a pear. Recently I've been feeling a bit down about that because of the disproportional look I have, but seeing the afters in these photos makes it seem not so bad at all! The pears who have posted after shots have GREAT curves!! That is most definitely a plus!! :OD So thanks for sharing, pears! I feel much better now, and will continue to remind myself that this is temporary!!!

    I've gone from a 14/16 to an 8, which has been 29-30lbs for me. I'd like to loose about 10-15 more pounds. I like my shape, there was just waaaaay too much of it, lol.

    I still have 40" hips, 28" waist, and 24.5" thighs but whatever. I'm happy with my pear. There are before (size 14/16) and after (size 8ish) in my profile or here's my latest progress post (although it doesn't contain a true before).
