Ladies - what are your measurements?

Ladies, what are your measurements + height/weight/body type?

I am a pear shape, height 5'7.5"

Start --> Current
Weight: 182 lb --> 167 lb
Waist: 34.75 --> 31
Hips: 49 --> 46.25 (really wish this one would shrink more quickly!!)
Upper thigh: 27.25 --> 25.25
Upper arm: 12 --> 11


I am curious because I know that the scale is not always the best indicator of progress, but I'm having a hard time relying on measurements because I don't know what to expect. I know what weight is too thin / too large, and I know that a 2lb loss in a week is a lot, but I'm not sure how to fit measurements into the same categories.

I have my current measurement memorized, so I'll share those.

I'm 5'5" and probably the elusive hourglass.

Current weight: 180
Bust: 42"
Waist: 32"
Hips: 44"

I have more extensive ones at home because my fat deposits don't line up vertically. So I have a butt measurement that's different than hips and a belly measurement that's different from my natural waist. It's slightly ridiculous.

jemhh

I have gone from kind of apple shaped to ruler shaped. I have smaller hips but a ridiculous waist in comparison. It is *finally* starting to shrink more rapidly than other areas but my stomach is still big. I don't have measurements from my start, at 202.5 lbs.

5'6"
CW: 149
Waist (at narrowest spot): 30.75"
Hips: 38"
Belly (across navel): 35.125"
Thigh: 22"
Calf: 14.25"

I've never measured my upper arms but, like my legs, they've thinned out more quickly than my midsection.

I'm around 5'2" and 136lbs.

I'm 5'5" and I'm not sure what shape I am.

Weight: 123 lbs
Bust: 33.5"
Waist: 26"
Hips: 34"
Thigh: 20"
Calf: 14"
Arm: 10.5"

I started measuring at around 140 lbs and I've lost 3" from my hips and waist, 1.5" from my bust, 2 inches from my thigh, 1" from my arm, and .5" from my calf.

My body shape depends on weight. At my heaviest (267), every calculator said apple. Around 200, they all said ruler. Now, depending which online calculator I use I either get ruler or hourglass (the waist is FINALLY starting to shrink). At goal? Not sure.

Bust 42.5
Waist 33
Hips 39.5
Thigh 22.75

Wow, you and I are really close! I am also a pear shape, 5'7. I began at 190, but didn't start measuring until I was down to 175, so I will start from there.

Start-> Current
Weight: 175 -> 153
Waist: 32.5 -> 29.0
Hips: 46 -> 42.0

I haven't been measuring my thigh or arm as regularly, but right now they are 26/12. I think I lose weight like a tube of toothpaste being squeezed out the bottom, if you know what I mean... I'd really like to lose in my thighs and calves!

I have no clue how to accurately measure myself -- I thought forever that you measured your bust at the point UNDER your breasts...which would make me pear shaped at 35-34-43.5 but if measuring at the fullest point of bust while wearing a bra then I am 40.5-34-43.5 so almost more of an hourglass I think (?)

I measure my waist at the navel.

I find clothes are a weird deal because all of my current jeans that go by supposed "waist size" are 30 or 31 at the largest and they are not tight at all, and my measurement at waist is 34. Oh well.

Oh I am 5'8" and 168 lb. Started weight loss at 307 lb.

Waist size in female clothing is generally the smallest point. Tends to be where you bend at the side if you were going to the " I'm a little tea pot " thing. For some women, this point is a little bit above the navel.
