Hey guys and gals
So my wedding is in September. I have what they called a pear shaped body. So I had to order my dress by my hip size which is way larger than my other measurments. Well the dress I ordered is 1 and 1/2 inches smaller than my hips. I could have ordered a bigger size but I knew I was on a journey to losing weight and wanted to continue it. So now in stressing about my wedding. Is it possible to lose 1 an 1/2 inches in my hips by September?

Measurments
34.5 breast
26.5 waist
44.5 hips

    I think it's totally possible! I have lost 2 inches off my hips in the last 3 months without even trying! Good luck!

    Definitely, that is 5 1/2 months away. You can definitely tone up and drop a couple inches in your thighs.

    I think it is possible. My suggestion is to try to find a free consult from a personal fitness trainer to target that area more specifically. Good luck and congrats on the wedding!

    You can't specify where you lose it, but that seems pretty reasonable. I lost 3 inches off my hips in about 4 months. And you could always wear an undergarment to squeeze it all in. I wouldn't stress about it.

    I started doing The New Rules of Lifting For Women and I lost 2 inches in my hips after the first phase. I was ticked off about it because I wanted to keep my curves and that's the only place I had a significant loss but it might be something worth looking into :)

    Yes. I have lost almost 2 inches off from my hips since January without losing any weight. Mine was from running.

    Well - you can definitely lose weight all over and some of that will definitely come from your butt. There are exercises you can do to firm and tone the muscles in your hips, buns, and thighs. If you're willing to make the investment the Brazil Buttlift program they show on TV looks intruiging to me, but I havn't personally tried it (so I can't say for sure if it works or not). Some of the girls on the comercial claim to have lost significant weight in this area in as little as 60 days.

    Here is an article that was in glamor that has some info and a slide show of various exercises. Maybe you could try them w/o buying anything. Good luck!

    I have lost some off my hips by doing the Butt Bible dvd...set is like $18 on Amazon. Helps tone your butt and thighs too. I am pear shaped and this is the first thing that's really helped!

    I'd say totally! I've lost 4 inches from my hips since 20th Feb! (I've put my measurements up on my profile if you want to see :) ). I do 5 days of cardio (about an hour a day) plus some minor weight training/body weight stuff.

    You can do it!! :)

    I always notice a change in my tummy and hips when I cut back on my sugar and carb (pasta, rice, potatoes, bread) intake.

    you can definitely do that, there is more than enough time to lose 1 1/2 and even more inches off your hips! I have the same issue and am doing lots of cardio to tackle that area, along with weights.

    Sure ya can. I'm down 4 inches on my hips in the last six months, and that's with being really half-assed about this since january. You've got this!

    Yes, it is totally possible. Try doing some zumba or latin fusion, dances which really engage the hips. You will be melting away inches, plus firming and lifting the gluteus maximus.

    It's definitely possible, but I wouldn't rule out the need to have the dress let out. You really can't dictate where and how you'll lose the weight.. all you can do is work hard and hope for the best.

    WOW!! Tiny waist and big booty!!! ;) Niiiice!!! Your waist is small, so I am thinking that you are probably not that overweight....you might just be curvier in the bottom. Even when I get super skinny, but hip measurements are higher because of my butt.

    OK, I am going to suggest something that I have not done yet, but I have ordered it. So, I just ordered Brazil Butt Lift DVD. I hear great things about it. Maybe by getting your butt muscles tighter and firmer, your hip measurements will go down just enough to look super hot in your wedding dress. And you are only talking about 1 1/2"....I think that you can do it. But make sure you keep that awesome curvy figure that you have!!!

    Thanks a lot! I have been doin Zumba for the last month and can see it working but im going to buy that DVD to add to it! Thanks again! In regards to losing my curvy shape, that's my only fear with losing all this weight! :(

    I hope you and I like it! Not sure if your soon to be husband is like mine, but he likes my butt and has told me to not get any thinner! So, if you can just firm it up while losing some of the fat on top, you should lose some inches, but still keep that nice shape!

    You are going to look amazing in your wedding dress!!!
