women with BIG hips

HA! My mother always told me I had "child bearing hips"! I'm about as skinny as the doctor told me I should be, and I'm a 8/10.

I am there with you, I always had big hips but after having three kids its worse. At one point I fit a 9 but thats the smallest I was even in high school. I am 5'5 and my goal is to 145 ( currently at 160) and that will get me to comfortably fit in a 10-12 lol. I am ok with it though I just want to fit nicely into my clothes again.

I've never seen someone "look anorexic" at a (American) size 6 or 8, although I've seen many women here claim that they do. Maybe this is unique to pear shapes, or pears with less muscular builds. I consider myself to have pretty wide hips, 37" as compared to a 24" waist at 5'5", and am starting to fit in to some (American) size 4s.

exactly!

People said I looked anorexic due to my frame. I've been told that I looked barely 100lbs when I was 118lbs. Hence, why they said that. I didn't look like I was a size 7....I looked like a size 0 or less.

Not everyone looks the same even though they wear the same size. The only reason I wore 7's was due to my hips. My ribs showed and everything. I had small legs, a small waist, a flat stomach, and a tiny backside. I have a large frame and I'm a hourglass. Does that even make sense? lol....Maybe my shape is just odd, I don't know. Truthfully, sometimes I love my hips and sometimes I hate them. I started this site wearing a size 18 and now I'm almost a 14. I want to be in a size 3/4, but that's a dream that'll never come true lol....Edited to add a few more things and to fix typos.

When I was a slender 125#, 5'9" teenager I wore a 12. No narrow hips here.

I'm 5ft8, I wear 10s, and my hips are 40.5 inches. I know I'll probably never fit into anything smaller than an 8, and I'm okay with that.

even at my smallest i always had 40" hips. and I gotta say I love it. My favorite part of my own body. Whatever the size of jeans i can get em into its all good you know I make these jeans look awesome. nice booty swinging around in em I told my trainer, "whatever you do, just don't make my booty any smaller"

I have a real fear that Ill lose my butt or hips when losing weight. my boobs can go, but i wanna keep this booty!

I have big hips too I am 5'8, 133 lbs and wear size 9... I can't find pants that fit both my waist and hips The smallest I ever wore was size 7 when I was actively anorexic b/p at bmi 16 (105 lbs) when I entered an IP refeeding program Try being a size 7 anorexic

Oh, I am a pear for sure. My upper body is very, very skinny looking... and at 105 lbs at 5'8 I did look anorexic size 7. I wish I had pics to prove this to you.

The skinniest I've ever been was in junior high I was a size 9 at 5'4 (possibly 5'3 at the time) and 145 pounds. I personally don't want to get below a size 10. People want to be a size 4 because according to the fashion industry anything over a size 6 is plus sized which is ridiculous! I don't care about being "plus sized" I just want to be comfortable in my own skin!

I was just shopping with my mother yesterday and saw this tiny pair of size 6 jeans shorts; said to her 'I'd have to break my hips to get into those.' lol!

Don't care though, I'll settle for a size 10/12. Curves are awesome. My ex used to say he preferred 'skinny petite women' (ouch) and when I was dieting I told him I knew I'd never reach the tiny size 4/6/8 level cause of my broad hips, shoulders etc; not realistic. He didn't get that and kept asking 'why not'

I am a size10 now. I aim to reach a 6 at the most, I can't be any skinnier because my hip bones are starting to stick out a lot :frown:
