Pear shaped women

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.0 -

Height: 5'5
Weight: 138.5
Natural waist: 29
Hips: 360 -
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.
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.0 -
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.0 -
I'm a pear but I do have more up top to balance it some.
Chest- 39
Waist- 30
Hips- 420 -
ladies those of you with a (lucky) big bust and larger hips are not pear, you are hour glass xx
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.0 -
i think im a pear and im mourning because i wrongly thought i was an hourglass all my life.
waist 32
breasts 38
hips 41
legs 25
from the waist up im ok-ish even my tummy is ok and i have a flat non existant bum but my legs dont seem to get smaller!0 -
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.0 -

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.

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)0 -
I think I am a pear, although some people beg to differ. It's a bit frustrating because even when I gain a little bit of weight, it's very noticeable. I wear the same jean size as people who are my height and 30+ pounds heavier than me0

Hips: 46
Bust: 42.5
Arm: 15
Thigh: 25 (mine started at 27. 200 squats is my best friend!)
Calf: 15.50 -
If you go to calculator.net it will calculate your body type for you. (for those that don't know their type)
I am a true pear.......0 -
Probably not much help but having babies made the difference for me. I was very much a pear but since my 2 boys, my top half has caught up with my hips :-/ TBH I think I preferred being a pear!0

Oh to be pear shaped again. I have to get rid of the inches around my waist first. When I lost inches this year I lost as much or more around my hips as my waist so my waist hip ratio is still just as bad as when I started on here. So all I have to say is health wise make sure you keep that healthy waist hip ratio. Pear is better than apple. My top did get bigger when I was in my mid to late 20s and with children but still just want to get my waist again.0

And just remember, "Fat bottomed girls make the rocking world go 'round."0
