I am very much a pear, until I got past 250lb in the first place my tummy was always quite flat... my thighs though...... geeeeesh.
omg, I am -so- in that boat too!!!
even when I'm super-skinny i still had un-short-skirt-worthy knees and thighs... The weirdest thing is I've got photos of myself when I was 12-13yo and guess what: scarecrow legs (damn you abnormal fat!)

I've taken measurements as I've lost weight before though and with the hcg my cms are definitely not coming off the same places.
Usually I lose 2 cm around my bust,for every 1 cm waist and 1/2 cm thighs and 1/4 or 1/3 cm on my knees. This time around I'm losing about 2cm bust: 2cm waist: 2cm hips: 2cm thighs; 1cm knees..... Man, lovin' this HCG stuff! (whaat?! I get to keep my boobs, omgyay! lol)


On my next round If I get down to goal weight and I still have a disproportionate lower half (at this rate I won't have to though!) I think I'll take some of the advice I've found on here and mix it with a 'The HCG Diet Book of Secrets' reshaping round: continue hcg injections but up my calories just until i'm not losing weight, while also wearing compression leg stockings either daily or nightly to help redistribute any excess lower body fat.

[I think i remember reading that Dr S helped an extreme-case patient who was resistant to losing her lower body weight... he had her continue the diet while on continuous bed-rest and had her legs tightly bandaged by the nurses (it required constant medical supervision for her safety). I'm guessing the compression stockings are working on the same principle but not so harsh/dangerous]


I hit 15lbs lost today too... yay!
I'm 5' 8.5" and started Day 1 @ 175.6lbs (put on 3 lbs during loading) and now i'm 160.2
