Waist Size?

Hi!

I know I read this somewhere, but can't find the thread again. I am curious what waist sizes people are at at what height and weight. I am almost at my goal weight, but have never measured my waist before. How is the best way to measure my waist?

Just curious, if anyone wants to post!

Thanks

I think this really has a lot to do with your body shape.  I am an hourglass.

Age: 24
Height: 5'5"
Weight: 159lbs
Wiast: 28.5 - 29 inches

At 170lbs, I had a 31 inch waist.  Goal weight at 130-135lbs and hopefully 26.5 or smaller waist.  :)

WOW.  Now I feel fat

26.5 waist

(I'm an actress, mostly period/Shakespeare, so this could have something to do with running around in corsets for a living, 8 hours a day/ 6 days a week- lol)

I'm 25

5ft2

121lbs

Waist = 25ins

I remember when I was 147lbs, my waist was 29ins. My waist seems to be the first place to lose weight!

I'm 27, 5ft2 & 125lb and have a 27 inch waist.

I'm shocked by the number of people with such small waists in relation to their weight.

I always measure around the largest part of my midsection, am I doing it wrong?

I'm 25, 5'6", weight is currently 140 and my waist is 35 1/2".  I started at 37" at 160 lbs.  Seems like my stomach is the last thing that wants to leave!

If you stand relaxed, and slide your right arm down your right leg, so your bending at the midsection - but not leaning forwards or back. where your skin creases is where you measure your waist from.

Wow . . . never posted my measurements before . . .54 yrs, 158 lbs, 41-32-41 so I guess I'm an hourglass?  Goal is to lose 20 lbs.

I wouldn't have done this before but why not...

 

31 years old

185 lbs

34 inch waist in jeans, 32 in my preferred nautica shorts. (weird it's different, lol)

Don't really know if my weight is going to still change or if my waist will change anymore...

I don't have a very definited waist, like I am quite up and down but with massive boobs. I am a 34DD, 25-26 inch waist and 33 inch hips - not at all child bearing :S

18 yrs old, 5'2, 172(ish)lbs and 33" waist. Though as it's just before ttom it's probably a little off.

23 years old, 124 lbs, 5.6

bust - 35.5

waist - 25.2

hips -  37.4 (damn I need to lose there)

 

Wow!  I guess I am the only girl on here who is 6' tall!

23 years old, 145 lbs, 6' tall

bust - 34.5

waist - 26.5

hips - 35.5 (I measure across the hipbone though, and apparently that's not the right way, so unknown on the hips).

Oh, and the usual disclaimer before you think it- I have an extremely small frame, so no, I am not even close to being too thin.  My sister and mom before children were both normally between 130-135, and they are both my height.

 I have been wondering about that aswell :)

Where I live I´m with my 5.6`usually one of the shortest females in a group. Here it seems that I have a rather respectable height :D

Gerli, that's right!  Well, I did hear on TV the other day that less than 1% of the female population is over 5'10''.  So there is that....  :o)
