I'm 5"11 and really thrive on visuals of successful weightloss and muscle gain stories. I've seen some amazing things on here but no one tall and naturally pear like - I can't quite picture what I'll look like in my mind... If anyone has any photos to share I'd really appreciate it!

    I'd like to see this, too! I find people who are heavier than me on the scale look skinnier because their weight is distributed much more evenly than mine! Jealous...

    I'm tall and pear shaped, but no pictures yet. You can go to www.mybodygallery.com and put in your height, weight goal, and body type to see some real examples.

    I'd love to see before and afters here, though!

    I'm tall...and I guess pear shaped? I'm really small on top and when I gain it tends to be in my tummy and thighs. I'm definitely a size or two smaller up top than on the bottom. Is that a pear or an apple? :embarassed: :laugh:

    Traditional pear means extra weight in hips and thighs. I have that but unfortunately added my midsection after two babies, and that area now seems to be the most stubborn of all! I would say if you wear a size smaller on top, you're a pear.

    I'm not super tall, 5'8 to be exact but pear shaped for sure and lost 50 something pounds so far. :wink:

    Hi duckz, and thanks!! Yes - pear shap is when the weight sits on the bottom half rather than the top. Apple id when you carry it around the middle. You know those people with skinny legs but big tummies?

    You look great!! Good motivation for me!
