Right now I'm 5'7" 199lbs (hopefully less, haven't weighed myself in a week) and a size 18 with huge hips and thighs (50" hips, 29.5" thighs.) I realized the other day that my thighs are bigger than my waist was until just a few years ago. Ouch. Just looking for some inspiration. Show me what I have to look forward to!

    Well I started out with my hips at more than 53 inches. The 53 inches was when I measured after losing my first 5 pounds.

    Now my hips are around 40.5 inches. can't wait to break into the 30s! lol. my waist started at more than 47 inches, now at 36.


    I started on MFP 14 months ago and I've been exercising 5-6 days per week since then. This is my new account so the dates don't match up ;)

    I'm not posting pics becuase Miss Michelle_00 will put me to shame....well done btw epic transformation!

    I started 01st Jan on 210lbs waist of 48 and hips to match! Which I found a bit odd as i have always classed myself as a pear but numbers dont lie!

    But on 29th April my pear shape reappeared I am now 192 waist of 42 and hips of 45...doesn't sound a lot but I am only 5ft 2 and when I post my 6 month progress on 01st June I hope to see a huge difference!

    I love being pear shaped....embrace it!

    Thanks so much! I started out with all exercise bike for a few months. Then I started doing DVDs half the time. Now I mostly do DVDs, plus a couple of walks per week and rollerblading maybe once per week. I do Jillian Michaels DVDs a lot. I love her No More Trouble Zones. Another favorite of mine is on netflix===kickbox bootcamp! I love that one. :)
    And I used to eat about 1800 but now I almost always eat about 1600.
