Measurements are really weird


Quote  |  Reply

I was wondering what are other people's starting and current measurements... Mine seem so odd to me. I've lost almost nothing from my hips and everything from my boobs and waist.

New measurements

  • Chest   37in
  • Waist   32in
  • Hips     41in

 Old measurements

  • Chest 42
  • Waist 36
  • Hips 42

I'm really curious about where other people lost the weight.

ahh, it's pretty common to lose from the boobs first...don't worry, the other parts will catch up.

WELL I've only measured 2 weeks now, but I have a hilarious measurement change- one of my arms lost .5 inches!!  Just one.... I'm sure it's human error in measuring, although I checked 4 times on each arm once I saw that.  Maybe it's because I'm left-handed so my left arm works more?  None of my other measurements budged though.  :) 

Congrats for your GREAT PROGRESS!!!  I think that weight likes to hang out on the hips/thighs for us women.  So that makes perfect sense to me.

its funny. i just measured myself tonight and in all instances, one side is slightly smaller than the other.  maybe by .25-.5"....

mine starting out were like 36-28-38 now they're around 36-26.5-37. im so glad i haven't lost my tata's. its annoying to lose the most around my waist, its the place i thought was just fine i want to rid myself of the huge hips >_<

Mine are odd in a different way.

Most recent (at 168 lbs 4/4/09)
40 (bust)
31.5 (waist)
41.75 (hips)

When I first started taking measurements (at 212 lbs 9/15/08)
44
37
47


Everyone always says how you lose from your bust first, but I've barely gone from a 40DD to a 36DD. I'd be pleased to lose a bit more bust and actually be able to fit some tops without squeezing.

Yeah... I'm enjoying losing the boobs, actually.

I'm just confused as I have never considered myself pear shaped at all... and now it looks like it's going that way. I just want to lose weight in general, it doesn't matterto me where I lose it from.  :D

I didn't take my measurements this time D:

My waist is currently 24.4 inches but it's always been pretty small in comparison to the rest of me. I think my hips are probably about 37ish so I've got a pretty hourglass figure.


I just wish some of the weight would've come of my boobs this time. I hate large breasts but after losing 12lbs they're still the same size (32DD). Eurgh, go away boobies.

33-27-40 (I know very odd measurements for me too. I carry extra baggage in my butt :( )

I've never heard of losing weight in the breast area. For me I notice weight loss in my butt & thighs, mostly since there isn't much to lose in other areas of my body. However I'm sure its normal
