pear shaped body

i am a pear and i absolutely believe its the best body shape. I dont have any fat in my upper body so it appears to make me look more slimmer. All my weight is concentrated on my lower half.

When i was 196 at my heaviest I looked 20 lbs lighter. People said they thought i was maybe 175. not almost 200 lbs! This is a picture of me before i started my weight loss journey.

me at 196-200


This is me currently now at 165




this is me at my skinniest where im aiming to be at again. 145-150




i still keep the curves but i just am toned. its nice because since we as pears already have more muscle mass in our lower half..when we lose fat.. we look nice and toned and not "skinny fat"


embrace ur shape :-)

This is awesome!

Yup I'm a pear too. I have been told recently that my low carb diet is not great for weight loss in pear shaped women. I have been told to increase my carbs (up to 180) & decrease my protein & fat. My weight loss plateau has finally broken after nearly an 18 month stall! I also feel much better. I can't lose the pear shape but I'm hoping to finally accept it

I don't see anything wrong with having the same body type a Beyonce, lol. I'm a proud pear over here, and I like the fact that I have a teeny tiny waist and curvy hips. Especially since I really dig that "pin-up" look and that is what they were most known for was the pear shape!!

Think about it; you get to be fit and toned without EVER looking sickly skinny.

Also, on the cellulite; they have all kinds of home remedies and foods you can eat to minimize it. Count your blessings. A TON of people have cellulite. But if you're fit and toned, why worry? Be proud of what you have done, and what you will continue to do for yourself.

And if the proportions bug you too much, LIFT. Lifting will make your top portion match the bottom portion a little bit better. Cardio and what not for your legs, lifting for your arms.

Here's to the good pear life for you. Learn to love your body for what it is, because I promise you, there is someone out there who envies us pairs. Best of luck, lady.

I did lots of walking, started light jogging and weights. I do squats and lunges and I hate every minute of them, but it helps.

I love having a pear shape. I get compliments on my legs all the time, and it isn't because they're thin.

I'm also pear shaped.. Squatting is great for the large thighs. You should also try sprinting while you jog I do that alot. Helps tone the legs in a fun way ????????

I'm a pear. Nobody rocks daisy dukes shorts like a pear

So True !

Shake what your mama gave ya!

Either it will start to shrink from the exercise, or you'll start having fun and learn to love your rump just the way it is.

I would love to lose my belly, but I have learned to use the jiggle from other parts to my advantage.

I love my pear shaped body! I have still got a way to go but its my waist i measure, my hips got lots bigger after my baby too so i want them smaller, but i love my chunky bum and thighs! I'm currently 154




oh and i used to have mega cellulite
