Like a lot of people (it seems) i am an hour glass with a lower belly pooch. I can't figure out what that lower belly, is, but I hate it!

I gain in the butt and stomach, with a bit in the thighs - so a pearple? :)

For those of us at a certain point in life the belly is the menopot (didn't think that term up but wish I had). I know someone who is far along in menopause and skinny as a rail but she has the menopot. Just won't go away.

I think mine is kinda cute now. What I don't like are the wrinkles that are starting to appear when I tense my abs - yuck!

I am a pear, but very small boned and when I was at my heaviest I was thick--watermelon, lost my waist. I gain weight in my face first. My favorite feature is my bust--I have nice girls that I seem to have gotten with the excess weight but they haven't shrunken since I lost 40 lbs. Except for my narrow shoulders, I'd be an hourglass thanks to the girls.

i guess i'm more of an apple than anything. i gain mostly in my stomach and face. when i lose weight it's mostly noticable in my face..my little double chin goes away. haha.

I start looking like a pear when I gain weight, because my top half never gets very big at all, but the weight goes to my hips like nothing else. 10 pounds less from now, I'll be an hourglass. Right now I'm somewhere between the two, since my weight is siphoning out of my hips (it does that first when I lose weight).

Amen to that. I'm in the exact same boat. I'm a complete pear. I've now completely lost my boobs, my tummy is flat and I have HUGE saddle bags. *sigh*

Same here. I got a double chin at my heaviest, and it went away after I lost a few pounds.

Im a definite apple shape. I look like a swallowed a barrel!! I do gain all over but its most prominent around the middle.

One day I plan to have a waist...

When I was at my heaviest I looked like a mushroom now at goal I am pear shaped.

I'm a pear... Tiny boobies. I love my shoulders, arms and stomach... my booty and upper thighs are where I hold my weight.

Measurements... 34, 26, 36 ish....

Okay.....have any of you heard the song Baby Got Back.

Well that is my theme song. I have a big butt. Junk in the trunk. Thick legs. Small stomache. Arms are a little thick. I am just thick.

The one thing I love about my body or my self is my butt. My husband loves it.:D

I'm store fat everywhere except my boobs. Figures, right?

I like the curve of my waist. It makes me look slim.

This is exactly how I feel about my body! It's kind of a love/hate relationship. :dizzy: I love my womanly body...on a good day I feel like a bombshell! :D On a bad day, my thick thighs drive me crazy. I look at pics from my early 20's and realize I was super skinny but never knew it due to my generous butt and thighs!

I am a pear without a doubt!!

I like my body because I have a nice butt- but I don't like being a pear- because I have no boobs- so I look pretty unproportionate.
