Any Pear shaped ladies lost weight and became Hourglass shape?

I've been an extreme pear shaped my entire life but I've also been fat my entire life. So this year is my first time I'm determined to lose weight to a healthy BMI. I'm noticing as I'm losing the weight that I'm looking more hourglass even though I have a small bust. I've always assumed you need to have a large bust to have a hour glass shape. I have very broad shoulders and as I drop inches from hips ( which has been very slow) I noticed my shoulder width and hip width are balancing out. My waist is getting smaller too. Any other pear shape ladies noticed this type of change with weight loss?

    I actually just posted here about the opposite problem. I'd been an hourglass forever then I gained and lost weight and now I'm more like a pear shape

    I'm a pear, even at my smallest (5'4 105 lbs) I was a pear. Now with more weight on me I'm still a pear. The only thing that will make me an hour glass are breast implants.

    Always been a pear, 40lbs lighter and still a pear! Although a much smaller pear, the weight Def accumulates on hips and thighs while I'm skinny Minnie up top

    I used to measure 34", 29", 44". Pretty extreme pear

    Now I'm still a pear at 32", 27", 40" but my shoulders are kind of bigger from strength training. The few less inches in the waist to hip ratio makes a difference and my overall body composition is better, so I think I look more proportional.

    Same here. I've always had small boobs and after losing 11 pounds (which for me was like, 9% of my bodyweight), my shape is still the same. The upside though is that I don't have to deal with boob shrinkage because there was nothing to shrink lol

    Same for me. I was thinking only this morning that my boobs are still tiny tiny but haven't changed but I'm losing on everywhere else. I seem to be getting a nice shape and from the male interest I've had lately I'm assuming my shape is noticeable even if I can't see it.
