    Every chick on here complains about being pear shaped when they literally just have a normal, average womans body shape, AKA not a ruler. Lmao.

    I don't know about others. But I started at 34, 29, 44. That's a juicy pear.

    I'm actually more of a ruler based on my measurements because I have narrow hips, but all my fat deposits on the INSIDE of my thighs, and there is a definite discrepancy between fat deposit on my upper body and my lower. I think I posted on another thread that my Android/Gynoid fat ratio was 8.5%/25%. That's pretty crazy and I don't think the normal, average body of most women. Therefore I consider myself a pear.

    My measurements are 32/28/40
    I'd love to have my bottom half more toned too. I started to add 1 leg workout every time I work out (squats, deadlifts, lunges etc). Hoping that helps; that makes for (about) an extra 5 lower body exercises a week not including leg day.

    I'm a definite pear and have gotten proportionally smaller over time, but still have large thighs. I'm 5-7 and 145 and intend to keep going until I like the way the look.

    Some women are more apple shaped, thin legs and carry weight in the middle. Some are hourglass where they have a narrow waist and neat equal shoulder and hips. Others, like myself are bottom heavy and referred to as pear shaped.

    I don't know that anyone is really complaining about their shape but we aren't all shaped the same

    I noticed a significant difference in my thighs when I got into my 40's. My hips and thighs didn't change, but my self image did as I got older and I began to accept/appreciate my natural shape. That's not to say I'm pleased when I'm overweight, but I've learned to be happy with my shape, even the shape of my thighs, when I am at a healthy weight and fitness level. I now prefer to have the pear shape that I despised and fought a losing battle against for decades.

    No, not much. Decades at a desk job have given me unsightly saddlebags. I can't get my thighs down to a size I like without losing too much weight overall. :/

    I used to think I had a "pear-shaped" figure. It turned out that I was just overweight. My body naturally became more of an "hourglass" shape after having lost the excess weight.

    I found this to be the same for me
