    I carry all of my extra weight (when I have extra weight) in my hips, thighs and butt. But weight training has proved to help change my shape.

    5'4" 130-ish pounds (probably more like 135 but I didn't weigh myself back then).

    Now - 112 pounds and drastically lowered the hippy-ness and thighs!

    I hope you don't mind me saying, but I think that your after figure is the epitome of "the perfect figure" , slim but not skinny, and feminine curves..... jealous much lol

    Okay srsly, how in bloody hell are you guys losing weight in your hips and booty and thighs yet keeping your breasts?! My body won't give up an ounce of booty fat until my rack is completely decimated. I'm going to end up looking more pear shaped than ever at this rate because I'll have nothing left on top to balance it out...sigh. It is, however, highly encouraging that thin thighs may actually fall within the realm of possibility for me.

    The best thing about dieting with MFP is getting to look at all the hotties that made it :-)

    Can't speak for anyone else, but I never had a lot of boobs to begin with... they didn't get bigger with weight gain, which was a cruel, cruel joke from Mother Nature. I'm still wearing most of the same bras, just with shorter straps and tighter bands.

    But strength training is the key. The heavier, the better.

    I'm not pear shaped, but my booty is the biggest part of my body, partly because it's perky (the rest of my body being very small).

    Ditto here.

    My body is last on....first off.....

    The only thing I'll hate about losing weight is going back down to an A bra. So hard to find cute 36A....

    I only shop the clearance racks, so that automatically cuts the selection way down, but I've found loads of cute bras at Target and Kohls. Granted, they're probably meant for teenagers, but 1) no one sees them by my husband and me, and 2) there's nothing wrong with having boobs like a teenager in your 40s. :happy:

    My band size is 28, so bra shopping in stores is a challenge for me. I agree nothing wrong with having breasts like a teenager. For me at 34 and after breastfeeding two kids. I'm quite happy to be perky (my husband loves it as well).

    I wear a 36A and haven't had many problems with it. I shop at Kohls and the Bali outlet mainly.

    If you have a pear shaped body, you should not wear pear colored clothes, or act juicy.

    So inspirational! One question... were your hips the last to go? I'm about almost half way to my goal, but my hips and thighs have barely gotten smaller, but my waist is getting so much smaller. So frustrating!
