    I'm a pear as well, don't feel bad about your shape, it is one of the more healthy shapes because you carry less fat around your heart. Not everyone can be an hour glass...

    I just checked and I'm pear shaped as well. I like my shape although I feel like my shoulders are too wide. I want my hips a little smaller but I doubt that will happen. In my last measurements I lost 3 inches on my waist and gained 1 on my hips.

    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.......

    Thanks for the link... I am what I always thought I was a Pear Shape.

    Height 5'3"
    Bust 36
    Waist 37
    Hips 46

    In the last two months I've lost 2 inches off my waist and 1 off my hips... I have always wanted to be the girl who had a gap between her thighs when she stood up straight. But instead I am the girl who can't wear corduroy for fear of combusting. :blushing:

    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 me :/

    Yeah, I can't figure that one out either. :) It must be the pear thing. I'm 115# and wear mostly size 8 jeans. It also takes a while to find jeans that fit. To get them to fit in the hips there's always a huge gap in the waist. I'm never without my belt. ha

    Weight-115
    hips 36
    waist 25
    waist navel 26.5 (I never know where to measure, different sites ask for different ways to measure your waist)
    wrist 5.5
    5'7"

    My measurements are the exact same as yours and I disagree, i do not think we are pear shaped even though we have a small bust. Pear-shaped women have narrow shoulders. it's that measurement you need to look at. and if it's within 5% of your hip measurement, then you are an hourglass shape! :)

    I'm 5'9", 160lbs

    Hips: 40
    Waist: 29
    Bust: 35
    Thigh: 24
    Arm: 11.5
    Shoulders: 42 around

    My thighs are my very last trouble spot.

    How do you work out 5%, though? Because my shoulders aren't really narrow ..

    I don't have narrow shoulders either. My shoulders definitely aren't smaller than my hips. I went to the body calculator and it said I wasn't any of their 4 shapes.

    so pleased to see this thread, I am a very bottom heavy woman and as I am so short, I think it looks awful (only 5 foot tall). The weight I've lost so far has resulted in my dropping a cup size in my bra, where as I still retain wobbly thighs, a big butt and pot belly! I am hoping that over time when I'm nearer to my target I will look more even, but it seems that while I'm on my way I am going to look a bit freaky for awhile - fine from the waist up, arrrrrrghhhhh! from the waist down. And to the original poster - I think you look lovely and CAN wear a bikini :) I look forward to the day when I can too :)

    Thanks everyone for the support! I guess what makes me feel like such a "pear" is that I have such a tiny bust, huge natural waist, and giant hips/bum! I'm hoping to change that soon though! (fingers crossed!)

    That calculator was horrible. If you have a pretty good gap between your waist and hips, and your bust is as wide as your hips, you are an hourglass. If those 3 measurements are more similar, then you a re a ruler. If the bust is way bigger, you are either an aple or an inverted triangle depending on how your waist looks.

    I guess I thought pear shaped meant quite a difference between hip to waist ratio. So kind of an hourglass pear maybe. :)

    I am a pear too. I'd be fine with it if my thighs weren't so big. Ergh, it's so annoying! Oh well, that's why I'm here.

    I'm proud to be a pear!

    5'8
    CW 174
    Chest: 36
    Waist: 31
    Hips: 43

    My waist will just keep getting smaller and smaller when I lose weight but hips, butt and thighs barely change. I can lose 40lbs and still fit into the same pants! (although they will be looser and fit better) It's somewhat frustrating to never get to buy smaller jeans but if I had to choose a body type, this would probably be it. I find that I carry my weight very well. People are often shocked when I tell them how much I weigh. I would like to lose a few inches off the hips but I know it's slow going for us pears.

    Just to update, maybe it was just the bathing suit in the first picture. Of course, in the after picture, I've lost an additional 12 pounds. Maybe there's still hope for me yet...

    Are you sure you're a pear? There is not much difference between your hips and your waist, and pears have significantly larger hips than waist. I think you're a ruler, to be honest.

    In the latest picture, I look more even but my measurements are that of a pear. There's the website posted in a comment above that will calculate your shape based on your measurements. I just have a small bust, a large natural waist, and large hips. I don't know though. Maybe the more weight I lose, the better my shape will be?
