waist measurements?

ok, right now i'm feeling pretty lame.

my friend and i were measuring our waists the other day at school (she was in a clothing class and had a tape measurer) and she measured mine out to be 32 inches. and she was a 36, and she's on the low end of obese..

can this be right? am i really a 32..? a 32 is pretty big, most people aim to have like 24-26 don't they? and my friend, who is on the low end of obese, is apparenlt 36. am i really this fat or what?

what i'm wondering maybe.. is if she didn't measure it right. i don't have much of a waist because i'm short so she might have measured part of my hips instead. i wear a size 3/4 pants (they're tight on me, but i like tight pants). is this normal for a 32?

i just don't know what to say haha. a 32 is.. ugh.

 

also i'm 5'2" and 116 lbs.

lolll a rectangle figure? what's that?

 

but gah, feel lucky to be 25

i hate my 28. asjjdkasd.

maybe it's because i'm short?

:| :| :|

 

my ribcage is bigger than my waist so uh

That can't be right. I'm only two inches taller than you and currently at about the same weight, and my waist is 24 inches, so I'd guess that you couldn't be more than 25 or 26 inches.

nope, definitely 28 ]:

ewwxroflzz - I have a rectangle figure too! =P haha

My mom always tells me I look like a block =\

garnet18 i have virtually NO waist haha. also no butt. or boobs..  i have a boy body :) all the girls on my dads side do. and don't feel bad about a 28. it's just your body type. not everyone is meant to have an hourglass figure.

deflepfan16 sweeet, go rectangles!!

ehh? i don't want an hourgass figure haha.. i want a straight "boy" body like you say you have. imo it's attractive but maybe i have weird tastes.

 

my hips and ribcage are both bigger than my waist..

 

are we allowed to post stomach pics or anything to show what i mean?

I'm assuming stomach pics are ok, since a lot of people post them.  I think it all depends on how comfortable you are with it!

I think it's interesting that you find "boy" bodies on girls attractive...I mean not that it's weird because I'm the same way, but my mom always says "Stop working out...boys hate girls with no figures!"  It's nice to know I'm not crazy for thinking the way I do about it =P

She thinks I'll never find anyone who will put up with it =\ haha

haha, glad i'm not the only one who likes it.

 

but anyway, this is my figure but the lighting was bad so you can't see where my stomach puffs out.. it makes a line ]:

My waist is about 32 I think, last time I measured anyways. I'm 5'7 and 145ish pounds.

she probably measured your lower waist, like where you wear pants.  At my heaviest (5'7" and 145lb) I had a 27" waist.  I really doubt your waist is 32 unless you literally have toothpicks for legs and arms!

My waist is 28-29 at 150lbs, and I'm 5"1'. She probably did measure the wrong part of your body.

I'm 5'8" and about 142lbs, and my waist is 29 inches.

By the sounds of it, you have been measured wrong. But then again, everyone carries weight differently.

I have all my other measurements in a journal if anyone wants to know. Just too tired to post them. (It's called In this fair world, yeah, I name all the titles after lines from songs)

eh? i wear my pants pretty much where my crotch starts.

 

that's below the hips isn't it?

lol or am i not wearing my pants right?

THink about the quarterback on your highschool football team.  He prob wears a 30-34.  So I highly doubt you are the same size waist as him seeing as you're only 116 lbs.

ewwxroflz: Your eyes are gorgeous by the way... and I like your hair too.
