perfect measurements 5'9"

I like the thread about measurements and I want to see what your idea of the ideal measurements would be for a tall girl...

Thanks

Ouch...Milly you are quite abrasive in your responses. I didn't say anything out of line but you said you ate 1400 calories to get down to 115, and you use this site...called "calorie count" so i think it would be safe to assume that you consciously control your weight, regardless of whether you do it by maintaining your habits, boring diet, and exercising or if you explicitly count. i can tell you that i know how much to eat without counting in order to maintain my weight because i have been maintaining for quite some time and it is nearly second nature now...so even if i stopped "counting" explicitly I have created an environment that makes it easy for me to not count and stay consistent with my eating. Thereby maintaining my weight. I was not rude in any way. I didn't say anything harsh, mean, or judgmental, just my observations. 

Your BMI is currently 18.  According to WHO standards you are underweight (mild thinness).  CC and its members cannot encourage or assist you in maintaining an unhealthy weight.  I kindly suggest that you reevaluate your goal weight to a healthier range.  The lowest (healthiest) weight for your height would be 104lbs with a BMI of 18.5. 

Have you consulted a physician to assess and discuss your current weight? 

How many calories did you consume to reach your current weight?  

Remember, it is not all about what the number on the scale says... You can in fact be "thinner" at a higher weight by lowering your BF% and gaining muscle while remaining at a healthy weight.  Also remember that the more active you are, the more calories your body requires.

So please take the time to consult your physician, research the effects an unhealthy weight has on your body, and the proper amount of calories required for your body to function.  I will find some later tonight and post them as well. :)

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to PM me.

My dear,

Listen to me its all about body type/shape I am 5'9" I weight 180 I am 40 30 40 someone our height could 150 and have the same measurments!!!!!! so forget about the scale and as long as you look good and fit and dont have lumps here and there who cares how much you weigh

I agree with what both of you said absolutely.  But it's OK for gals to have bumps and lumps in the right places.  Otherwise, everyone eat healthy, smile, and get some exercise.

I don't think perfect measurements exist for my body. I'm 32 (on a good day) - 25 - 36. My bottom half is pretty good, but my top half is bony and needs to get 'beefed' up, kind of. But that's just how my body is (pear, stretched vertically)... so if I really want to change things I'll get back into doing more strength training. Building muscle on the top, and trying to tone/even things out on the bottom (while maintaining my current weight range).

Edited to reword things. I got kind of upset with the whole "you're too skinny to be here" vibe on this thread. I get that sometimes and it drives me nuts. Just because I'm naturally thin, doesn't mean I want my cholesterol through the roof, or that I don't need to stay fit. I don't want to be skinny-fat! Eating well and exercising is a healthy choice, and whether you have a BMI of 17.9 or 27.1, you shouldn't be questioned on why you want to try to be a healthier person. (end rant)
