thanks for theinfo im still pretty bottom heavy tho !

Hi. I am pear shaped. I hate it too, but appreciate as well. I love my waist, I love my arms (they don't gain too much fat, if ever, just need to tone) and I love that I do not gain fat in my tummy and that I look really really really good in dresses/gowns. I don’t like that my breasts are small (but I have learnt to live with them, they look elegant), and when the weight comes off, it shows in my collar bone (not much of an issue). My advice, tone the thighs, you are pear shaped and you are very sexy (it’s better than tummy fat, I think). Look at Beyonce, they can reduce in size...

BUMP Zenny- Read this you are a pear shape !!!!

I have always hated my pear shape (even at 118 pounds --- I am 5'4) I had hips that were never any less than 37.5 or so inches. Even when I was 16 years old, my skirts were much shorter in the back because of my booty butt. AND -- I have more than once put a skirt on over my head because it fit....but I just couldn't get it up over my hips.

I have learned to come to terms with it. It is what it is....so I just deal with it. As someone else mentioned, when you are in shape, a pear is quite sexy. Lots of curves and a butt. I would HATE to have a flat butt with no shape. The key, however, is to stick with your fitness program because the moment you stop, it goes right to the hips, butt, and thighs. Embrace it! Curves are sexy!!!

As far as bikinis are concerned --- I go with solid color bottoms with print tops. It draws the eye up to the chest instead of the rear.

Definitely not alone! I am all wide legs and hips, tiny top! I have working my butt off the last four months trying to get my weigh down again after slowing gaining back over that last few years what I had already last... and I fear my legs are not going anywhere.
I don't weigh myself very regularly at all, but I would say I'm at about 143-145 lbs. I had to by a new dress recently in an extra small (woohoo!!) but only because my waist is apparently too tiny to fill out the middle, but my pants all the same size they were when I started working out frequently again. Just can't win with them.
But I am super pumped about my results so far, so so what if there's a little extra thigh hanging around?
We can only do our best and work and flaunt what we got *hip bump* :happy:

Another poster had it right. Check out how to select a bikini for pear shapes.

I hate being pear shaped it sucks

Ok I believe I am pear shaped :

height : 5 ft 4 inches
weight : 132 pounds
Waist : 28"
Hips: 34"
Bum: 39"
Thigh: 23"
Arm: 11 "

Not sure on chest measurement, at work right now so will measure when I get home but it won't be big, I has small boobies. And my bum just won't give up it's inches whereas other parts have been !

Height: 5'3" (almost)
Weight: 115 lbs
Chest: 33
Waist: 25
Hips: 39

I can't get any smaller, so I know my hips will always be big. I like my badonkadonk though. I'm sure you'll look great OP. Being small on top actually makes you look skinnier, imho.

I feel really big compared to some of you lovely ladies!

Struggling at the moment. Feel free to add me, need some motivation!!

You look great to me! I'm not even seeing the pear shape. Pear shape is beautiful anyway. I don't put a lot of thought into these measurements meaning stuff. I also have a curvy behind (you can see it in my ticker), but I like it. My husband likes my figure also, and he adamantly claims I am hourglass and not pear shaped. Which I always have to follow up with, well if you are going to call me hourglass you need to say small hourglass (because I feel the pressure of accurately describing based on things I've read on here). My breasts are not large, which is associated with hourglass, but they are proportional to my size. I have heard it called "neat hourglass". My husband thinks I'm way off to call myself pear shaped, I don't really consider myself hourglass. I'm definitely not the straight body type, though. I don't really think I fit into these classifications. I just am what I am. If it looks good, who cares what shape it's called. Our bodies are always fluctuating anyway from all of life's circumstances of being a woman. I see a lot of women that look hourglass to me, calling themselves pear. And regardless of shape classification I admire all these lady bodies.

My waist to hip ratio is 23-34 and for the top it doesn't always seem to matter because there are so many different measurements to consider. Under bust, over bust, shoulder width...all these things contribute to our top shape (also bra size is a little personal to just post out on the internet for me). But, one thing is for sure, when I gain (and I've never gained much) it is in my thighs. My waist and back is always slim and my tummy flat with visible abs. And the rest of me does not change in a visible way either. Even when breastfeeding my breasts only got less than a cup size bigger (and that was only when my full milk came in when my baby was a few days old and then it leveled off again). Anyway, as women, I think we are all very tough on ourselves. But, it's ok to just embrace the beauty of each of our unique bodies.

Sorry for my long winded response.

p.s. I just told my husband that JLo and Beyonce are considered pear shaped, so am I pear shaped like them? And he said, "I don't know...maybe". He's always said I am like a small Beyonce in terms of my shape (and many people have said the same). See we are confused about the shape classifications. And does it really matter. Sometimes it seems like people care more about us classifying our shape than what I care about. But, maybe we are more than a piece of fruit.
