    thank you:) It has been a very slow but steady process.... I had a baby a year ago, and have lost it by no exercise really other than walking( lost 40 in total) and now I am doing some actual exercise aside from walking ! hope i'll get there soon!!

    How long have you been on your journey?:)

    Ladies don't be so hard on yourself, I see beautiful women all the time that would be considered pear shaped! Go after your goals no doubt but keep in mind men (and I suppose women too if that's your thing) find ALL body types attractive when they are coupled with a great personality and are trying to take care of themselves...

    I have been on my journey for about 4-5 months, I lost 30 pounds prior to joining MFP. I have been on MFP for about 2 months I think and have only lost 5 pounds, but I am OK with my 130 pounds I am, I just want to tone and lose some more bf

    Edit to say that the firs 3 months, I only walked and did some light stretching too!

    I used to hate it, too, until I learned how (Couch to 5k) and got pretty good at it.

    Plus, I love being able to eat pizza more than I dislike running. :bigsmile:

    I'm a pear shape too. I'm not to goal yet but you can see my pictures in my profile. I'm 5'6 and started out at 163 and currently 135. I would post them here instead of just my profile but for the life of me can't figure out how to put a picture up

    Can't wait until I have some to post! Before MFP I thought I was an apple shape, my stomach took all the weight I had. 20lbs down and my hips and butt have decided to make there presence known! I was pleasantly suprised that I'm quite pear shaped! :)

    awesome job ladies! I've been searching, and I did a really good job of getting rid or hiding in those "before" pictures. I can tell there's a difference since I actually allow there to be fully body pictures of me now. I'll find one!

    I lost 25 pounds in six months, but I've made more improvements since adding weight lifting.

    I am also a pear-shaped lady. And, I hate it. I'm no where near being able to post a before and after success post, though. Maybe in a year or so. :wink:

    Holy smokes!! You look great! I turn 40 in January and this gives me hope that I will be able to tighten my tummy and lose my thighs. Your before picture looks just like me when I started out a couple of months back. 10 lbs down so far...just don't think I will ever become a runner though!

    Thank you LorinaLyn for posting your photos. I have just started my journey (again) and was so happy to see someone with the same weight and body type that I am. It gives me motivation to see that someone else has done what I want to do and it is therefore possible. I am looking forward to losing about 30 lbs and am starting at 160. You look fantastic. Thank you for the inspiration.
