Pear shaped ladies

Cycling, leglifts, and kettle bell squats. Will tone inner thigh and butt Also works that core Good luck!

Hello from another pear!

I've lost about 20 lbs from lots of cardio (running, HIIT) with the occasional weights. But I've learnt to love and accept the fact that we can't spot reduce fat - so we just have to burn, baby, burn.

Posting my before and after pictures here and you can see despite the 20 lbs loss, my thighs and hips are still fairly chunky. I'm doing more leg curls, extensions and squats as compared to before just to define those areas a bit more.

In terms of sizing, I used to wear UK 14 tops and bottoms; whereas now I can fit into a UK 10/12 top and UK 12 bottom.

What I can suggest is that if you don't like raining, you can check out fitness blender on youtube for their high-intensity interval training videos. All you need is space, a good pair of sports shoes (to absorb impact from jumps, etc) and maybe a yoga mat. They're quite challenging, but very rewarding! Take longer breaks in between if you need to, but always remember to keep your heart rate up.

All the very best!

I'm a pear. I lost 15 pounds (127 to 112), and lots came of my bum and thighs. I'd say the last place I lose is between my ribs and middle of my thighs. I saw my arms and calves shape up before my belly and thighs. It's frustrating, but I'm going to keep going at it. Sorry, no pics.

Pear here. :-)

I have lost 7 inches off my hips but they're still the biggest measurement on me (coming in at 49 inches). I am still shopping in plug-size stores/catalogs, so I usually don't have any problem getting jeans to fit my big old booty. My waist has gone from 46 to 41 inches so now I look a little less pear-ish but not much. When I get to 100 lbs off, I plan to post some before and after pics but that won't be for a little while yet.

Pear here as well! I've lost a lot of weight, from size 18 pants to 8/10 depending on brand. So even though thighs/bum are my problem areas, the weight is coming off. I have only done cardio as well no weights.

My dear bums are in fashion. The bigger the better I say!!

Photos help, too by showing you what you exaggerate in your mind. I have pear measurements, and I've always had a big bum/hips relative to my short stature, but when I look at my progress photos, there's nothing really disproportional about me at all.

That said, I think pear-shaped women are so beautiful!

We must have similar body shapes - my waist is currently at 41 inches and hips are 49. I've list 6 inches off both, but only 2 inches off my butt. I haven't even measured my chest because my boobs are shrinking quickly. They don't even keep the seatbelt from creeping up to my neck anymore. I also have at least another 100 pounds to lose.

I suppose I am a pear-shape, but my hip measurements are not that big- I guess I don't know where to measure? My butt and thighs hold everything.

32, 26.5, 37... yeah i guess I'm a pear.. Cycling is awesome, but for tone, you should DEFINITELY look at doing some lifting! It will not make you bulky! I promise!

This is so awesome my body type is similar to your before. I was just wondering today if losing 20-30 pounds would be enough to slim down my problem areas. Your legs definitely looks slimmer. How long did it take you to lose 20 pounds? Thanks for the inspiration.

:drinker: cheers Pear-shaped ladies! :flowerforyou:

I'm a pear too. For me it isn't just about where I store fat: I have a relatively wide pelvis... One day in a delivery room I'd be thankful. Anyway, in addition to losing fat that you have, I'd say work on toning your legs, thighs and butt. And squat! My legs aren't tiny, especially comparing to my waist that's really small. But they are super strong and have nice muscles. So for the first time in my life, I think, I don't hate my whole lower body. Use it as an advantage!
