    you have to build up your back muscles and shoulders to appear to have just a waist..I'm battling this now after having kids... I've been doing Jillian Michaels body revolution and it focuses alot on back for this reason!!! and to "target" your belly you are suppose to use a low carb no sugar diet...i just learned all this for a nutritionist...

    Be glad you're a pear! It's much better than being shaped like a brick. I'd love to have a waist and hips.

    ^ Not sure why...but this comment really made me giggle. You know, I have been a pear for 50...yes 50 years. No, one has ever
    said something so cute and positive before.

    Thanks.

    p.s. I agree with everyone you cannot spot reduce. However, for me, I find walking/running stairs to be so AMAZING for shrinking my pear shape. (Please note: it has helped me).

    I'm glad I made you laugh! I think shapely women are very attractive, so I'm a little jealous. :)

    yay for running the stairs, can be done at work or anywhere stairs are present, it's free and it works!!

    Too add, you really can't "change" your shape. You can enhance some muscle and show more definition, but if you have pear shape, it will always be a pear shape.

    So true. Even at my tiniest, I was still a pear. A smaller pear, but a pear still.
