    <--- nothing wrong with pear. It's better look like a pear, instead of a pancake :).
    Just my 2 cents

    You are so great!

    some ideas on clothing:
    http://www.lovingyou.com/articles/836191/how-to-dress-a-pear-shaped-body

    I tell you, many men love that shape !!

    some celebrities with pear-shaped body:

    Aw, how sweet. I will keep that webpage. However, got any pics of pear-shaped celebrities that aren't BUSTY as well? I think Christina Aguilera would really be an hour-glass with all that boob on top. :)

    I don't have pictures... but think Rihanna (when she first came out and in the video Rehab with JT) or Shakira (video Whenever, Whereever)

    I was told by a cosmetic surgeon when I was 130 flabby pounds and dumb, that my hip "was bone and he can't make it any narrower. Maybe should just continue to build muscle to make the shape look less wide." He was right. If you look at the two people above, now that they have like hardly any body fat, it is barely noticeable that they are pears.

    But I have embraced my pear after all these years. It is the shape I have and it is good enough- once I get healthy again.

    That's right girl be proud of your shape. There are tons of men out there that love pear shaped women. Chunkyme your 44 hips sound perfect. Do not buy anything.
    You Look Great! Embrace Your Pear & Wear what ever works for you!
    I'm a pear and proud of it!

    Of course I have to take in almost everything that I buy because my butt big and my waist is small.

    My hips have never been small even when I was125 my hips where 40"
    now there a whopping 44"

    And if the Boobies are the only problem you have with pear shape! You could always Save Up And Buy Some! :wink:

    I am pear shape too. My doctors and trainers have all said that's the hardest body shape to lose weight. From the waist up, I am completely fine with how I look, but I am still trying to firm up my butt and thighs.

    chest 33
    waist 27.5
    hips 38.5
    thighs 23.5

    I'm a pear shaped woman, and was even at my most fit years ago (126 pounds, 5'5, and toned). Curvy hips are sexy. Get some push up bras and push up bikini tops, and you'll feel great. That's really the annoying part...us pears lose weight from the top down, where we want to keep it! Anyway, good job with your amazing weight loss. You should be proud!

    you can see from my pic i am pear shaped, and to be honest i dont want to lose that, i just want to shave those lumps and bumps off, when i get back to my usual weight (107lbs - 110lbs) i will be a happy pear shape. current states are:

    waist 27.5
    hips 37

    I'm definitely pear shaped. I'm starting to wonder if loosing weight will ever change that! :P
    Height- 5'2
    Weight- 115
    Waist- 26
    Hips- 38
    Thighs- 22

    I'm the same measurements, but 5'7" and 140lbs. I've accepted the pear too. It's not going anywhere.

    What do you think I count as, then?

    I used to be very very small up top, but to be fair, I was like 14 and I developed late.

    Now, at nearly 19, I'm 38C. Decent size.

    Hourglass or pear? Or both? I have pics.

    I'm a little confused..

    Looking at some of your pics, some of you don't look like pears.

    I don't think your hips just have to be wide to be a pear, I think you have to have a significantly smaller waist, or be much smaller up top...

    Excuse me if this post comes across as *****y, I don't intend it to be. I rewrote it more than once to change its tone, but was unsuccessful. Please, nobody take this as a dig because it's not.

    I'm ok with my body shape for the most part. I just wish my breasts weren't as small as they are. For the pears with decent boobs, you can at least look great in a bathing suit. Not me. :( I love my hips and bum since my hubby does, I just want to tone up to look better.

    So need to follow this thread. I'm a true pear. Never really knew that until I saw some pictures of me running. I know my husband likes curves, and now I have to be comfortable with them as well as become a "smaller toned" pear :smile:

    I'm a pear. Super wide hips. I know what you mean by the "never going to feel slender because of the width" thing. One of the photos on my profile (on the cliff, black tank top) clearly shows my shape!

    I am looking for other pear shaped women to help me with motivation. I'm afraid that no matter how much I lose, I will always look big due to my large hips and small bust. Can anyone out there help me out with some pictures? I want to know that my curse will not keep me from looking good in a bikini soon... :(

    You can see an example of just how pear shaped I am in my profile pictures. But for those who want to compare measurements, here they are:

    Height: 5'5
    Weight: 139.5
    Chest: 34
    Natural waist: 29
    Hips: 39
    Thighs: 22.5
    Arms: 10.5

    So as you can tell by my measurements, I am just about as pear shaped as they come. Please tell me I'm not the only one! :sad:

    Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian are all pear shapes and all look good in a bikini. Rock your bikini hun. You will look great.

    Looking at some of your pics, some of you don't look like pears.

    I don't think your hips just have to be wide to be a pear, I think you have to have a significantly smaller waist, or be much smaller up top...

    Excuse me if this post comes across as *****y, I don't intend it to be. I rewrote it more than once to change its tone, but was unsuccessful. Please, nobody take this as a dig because it's not.

    To be a pear your hips have to measure more than your bust. My hips 42 bust 36 waist 33. I'm a pear.

    Apple (triangle downward)
    Apple shaped women have broad(er) shoulders compared to their (narrower) hips.[18] Apple shaped women tend to have slim legs/thighs, while the abdomen and chest look larger compared to the rest of the body. Fat is mainly distributed in the abdomen, chest, and face.
    Banana or straight (rectangular)
    The waist measurement is less than 9 inches smaller than the hips or bust measurement.[18] Body fat is distributed predominantly in the abdomen, buttocks, chest, and face. This overall fat distribution creates the typical ruler (straight) shape.
    Pear or spoon or bell (triangle upward)
    The hip measurement is greater than the bust measurement.[18] The distribution of fat varies, with fat tending to deposit first in the buttocks, hips, and thighs. As body fat percentage increases, an increasing proportion of body fat is distributed around the waist and upper abdomen. The women of this body type tend to have a (relatively) larger rear, robust thighs, and a small(er) bosom.
    Hourglass shape. (triangles opposing, facing in)
    The hip and bust are almost of equal size with a narrow waist.[18] Body fat distribution tends to be around both the upper body and lower body. This body type enlarges the arms, chest, hips, and rear before other parts, such as the waist and upper abdomen.

    Just to clarify, I am not a pear shaped woman. Or a woman. Or pear shaped. More square. And male. I digress.

    Pear-shapes are hawt. Boobs? Meh, don't care. Hips/butt/thighs? Do want.

    Carry on.

    I wish! But even though I am busty, my shoulders are narrower than my hips and thighs.

    But a little tip, don't forget to do upper body strength training. This will help you look more proportionate, and more like an hourglass. This has helped me a lot,and I know I look a lot more in balance than I used to.

    I would still say you are hourglass. bust and hips have to be close to the same measurement and it sounds like yours are. 3 inches is not much of a difference and as long as your waist is 10 inches smaller than your hips then you are hourglass shaped.

    I didn't read through this whole thread but only saw one person with hips at my size!

    Waist: 40
    Hips: 46
    Bust: 39
    Arm: 14
    Thigh: 27
    Calf: 16

    Pear all the way! I actually kinda like the look...I'll probably like it more once the hips go down a bit...but I will always be a pear and that is fine with me. When I lost my weight before I retained my pear shape, and I find that I have become even more pear shaped.

    You look like a pear to me. Your shoulders are narrower than your hips, even though you are busty (I am shaped similar, I don't have tons of pics up so you can see)
