So I’ve lost over 40 pounds over this last year and I’m weighing in at about 125. I’m 5’3. If you don’t mind sharing, I’d like to ask for your measurements. Hips, waist, and bust.
Ever since I’ve gave birth my hips have doubled in size (over exaggerated) and I wanna know if I’m within normal measurements.
My bust is 37
My waist is 28
My hips are 37
My left thigh is 22
My right thigh is 21

I think each person's body is unique to them. We all carry our weight differently. You don't sound unusual in size. I am 5'6" and currently 165 lbs. I've lost 6.6 lbs and 7.5" since I started working out and watching my calories. I still have a ways to go. I carry pretty nearly all my excess weight/fat in my belly with no real butt or curves to speak of.
I currently measure
Chest 42.5"
Waist 35"
Abs & Hips 38"
Thigh 20"
Arm 12.5"

Your measurements sound pretty normal to me. It is common for the hips to widen after having a baby.
I'm still leaning down, but my midway measurements are:
Chest: 35.5"
Waist: 27"
Hips: 38.5"
Thigh: 21.5"

The reason I’m asking for measurements is because when I look at my body my hips are not portioned right with the rest of my body. They are abnormally large looking on me!0 -

I feel like for some women that is common. It might change a bit as you work on body composition.
While there is quite a difference between my waist and hip measurement, my hips aren't as large as they seem.. much of the size comes from my glutes these days.4 -
From where I sit, aint a thang wrong with y'alls hips!2

5'5", low 130s:
* no bust (post-bilateral-mastectomies) but underbust is 33,
* waist 30,
* hips 38 (but that's as much abdominal fat as anything else; I have the pelvic bones of a 14 year old boy, 34" at 120, which is a better weight for me).
No children.0 -

Your hips are the same as your bust, I'm not sure how that can look unproportioned really?3 -

Agreed. You have classic hourglass measurements.0 -

That's what I was wondering. Needing validation, perhaps? I suppose I could see it being an adjustment if one were accustomed to having a bust measurement bigger than their hips and having a baby changed that. Not a problem I ever had - I was always hippy

Sometimes just looking at measurements alone can be deceiving. Especially the chest/bust, if you have a very large and wide chest, and small bust, that will affect the measurement. It could also be the same number if you have a large bust with small chest. They will both look different though. Same with the hips and glutes. I actually have very similar measurements now vs when I first started lifting, but I look completely different.3 -

You're a perfect hourglass. How is that disproportionate?0 -

This just because it’s same for the hip and bust doesn’t mean it’s as wide as my hips!0 -

Before.. from the front no, from the side yes. Then at one point I felt my hips were too small. I wouldn't say disproportionate but I was unhappy with my proportions.0 -

You look very normal in your bikini picture and I think your measurements are very normal. I don't think you are abnormally proportioned at all.
