Hello all....

I have a dilemma! I am at GOAL WEIGHT (yayy for me). I was thinking about losing another 10 pounds. However I think I look good at this weight...I dance around in the mirror and for some reason can't stop looking at myself..sorry about that...

BUT I would love to lose in the hip area. (I am well aware that we can't spot reduce) So that lead me to think I wonder what is the average hip size of a woman....an average woman ( not the Halles and the Kates) but regular women like me....I am a true definition of a pear hips wider than shoulder....

So I said all of that to say.... What is your hip size and your height?
P.S. I understand if you don't want to share bc I would be very reluctant...but I am also nosey!! So please help!

Hip size 43
Height 5'3.5

    I am very far from my weight goal--I have at least 80, probably closer to 100, pounds to go. My hips are at 52 inches and I am 5'2.

    I'm 5'5 1/2", I currently weigh 179.5 and I think my hip size is about 48. Well, it might be a little smaller, I'm not sure. I haven't measured since right before I began working out and since then I've lost 5.5 pounds and can fit into a smaller size of jeans. So maybe 46 or 47?

    Mine's more booty than hips. From front I look narrow. It's when I turn to the side that you see my "width".

    I'm 5'8'' and I'm 41" at my biggest part of my butt and 28" at my waist (within 10-15 pounds of my goal weight).

    The important thing is that YOU are happy with your body. Everyone is so different! Congrats on not only not hating the mirror, but actually loving it! YAY YOU!!!!

    I'm pretty average sized (high range of normal BMI), and more of an apple/hourglass than a pear. I struggle more with thigh size than with hip size.

    Height: 5' 4"
    Weight: 149
    Hips: 39"
    Waist: 32.5"

    I am not pear shaped, I am hourglass shaped, but I'll post anyway. Keep in mind that I still have over 75 pounds left to lose.

    Height: 5'10"

    Hips: 50"
    Waist: 38"
    Chest: 51"

    I did a test and it called me pear shaped too. Here are my measurements from last month. I have lost another 5 pounds since then. I have very pronounced hips and look wide across the front. I am losing weight slowly across my butt, but I don't think I will lose much more across the front view due to bone structure. I have about 20 pounds left to goal weight.

    CW: 168.9
    Height: 5'8"
    Bust: 38.5"
    Waist: 32.5"
    Hips: 43"

    Congratulations on making it to your target weight!!! That's a huge accomplishment :)

    I am a little over 5'9 and my goal weight is 155-160
    Currently however, I am 184.4lbs and my hips are at 41inches

    However, when I started they were at 43.5 and that was 20lbs ago, so i'm hoping for about 37-38 inches when I'm at my final goal weight :) Hope this helps...oh, and i'm an hour glass shape.

    I'm more of an hour glass and my thighs are refusing to budge too ... It's very frustrating.

    "back in the day..." when I graduated high school I weighed 136 pounds, bust was 36B, waist was 26 and hips 38. I am 5'5". My problem even then was my thighs. I would have to buy pants a size larger to fit the thighs and take in the waist (a bunch) and the hips. Just finding pants that somewhat fit was a nightmare. All that is just a fond memory now....

    My hips are 36 inches. It's kind of deceiving though because my hip bones are really wide and I don't have much of a butt anymore. LOL
