If you had a 47" waist how much would you weigh? Just for fun!

measure your waist at it's smallest point, which generally is a few inches above the navel

Thanks! So I was measuring around the belly button. I measured around the smallest point and I got 44" and I weigh 236lbs.

I'm 5'4, 220 lbs, and waist is 44 inches. I carry my weight in my stomach area, especially after 2 kids. I'm just starting on this journey and hope to get back to about 27 or 28 inch waist, which I had when I weighed about 130.

Hubby is 6'0" 300# and 46" waist.

Thank you! I am sure you will get there in no time at all!

Wow omg! I feel like I am way off! My waist is 44"-47" and I am 5'4" and weigh 235 lbs. His weight is where the charts say I should be. Like I should be a 5X according to size but I am swimming in a 5X! I wear a size 18 in pants and am a 2X.

I know right? Thanks.

My waist is right around that. But it was 49" at 265 and 44" at 245.

I think the estimate of 47" waist = 330 pounds is only accurate for people who are really a straight clothing size. Then their bust-waist-hip would be 57"-47"-57"

Mine is 48"-45"-43 so there is a lot less body in places more body is assumed.

I don't even want to guess how heavy i would have to be. At 5'9" and 270 my waist hit 38". At 180 it's 30.5". It's hard to say given the nonlinearity of fat distribution but I probably would have had to put on another 80-90 lbs minimum to hit 47".

Thanks! Yes I am somewhat smaller in some places not by much but I am def not 57" anywhere. But it is odd for sure. I am 49" in bust and 46" in my hips. I am on the short side and my limbs are pretty thin. I weigh 235.

I always had a large stomach even at a low weight. I never thought of fat as non-linear so maybe I will now. It is mainly in my stomach and no where else maybe that is why it's hard to tell if I lost weight except for my face. Thanks!

My waist is currently 47" and I'm 210.

Typically someone who is insulin resistant tends to store more fat in the abdominal region, sadly.

Very good thank you so much! Yeah it's hard to believe! I feel like I am getting away with a lot at 235 lbs. but we're all built differently I guess! Lol
