lol, okay. but do you know whats ideal, for health?

Body fat % it really the only health ideal. Your doctor doesn't care really, as long as you're healthy.

One thing, a waist on women less than 35 inches means you are HALF as likely to have heart complications (attack, valves clogged, etc,.) and high blood pressure.

I was so pleased when my waist shrank past that point. 

i think there are some health implications to the 8:10 ratio, too.  your waist measurement should be .8 or less of that of your hips.

yay my waist is 33

Mine is 33 too :D

ive heard that its 36-26-36
ive also heard 36-24-36

There is no hard and fast set of numbers - how could there be?  Women are too different.  You could have a person with 36-26-36 and if they're 4 feet tall, they're probably going to look funny.  The numbers depend on the overall size of the person.  Think about it - you've seen women who are very small, petite, slender and beautiful.  And you've seen women who are tall, statuesque, amazonian and beautiful.  Are their numbers the same?  No way.

I read something a long time ago that did show something about a proportion between waist, hip and bust, but it was a percentage, not a hard number.  And I can't find the article anywhere now.

Anyway, your goal should be what feels good on you, not what some schmo on the Internet says you should be!

The correct way to measure around bust is around the largest part of your chest and straight across your back.  Make sure your holding the measuring tape slightly loose, not too tight.

Waist is measured at the smallest part right below your rib cage and above where your hips start to go out.

Hips are measured around the fullest part of your bum and in front it should be somewhere right across your pelvic bone.

I'm a 33-26-33 so if your saying your pretty big your probably bigger than me, try measuring again.

Seriously, though, there is no one ideal that applies to all women. That's just crazy talk!
