Waist size

I was curious to what most girls here had as their goal waist size!
Do you take into account your frame?

I'd like to get to a 27, any smaller than that just seems crazy for me.

But I here about girls with 24 inch waists? They must have such a dainty skeletal structure, right?

    Awe :3

    I don't think i've ever seen mine below 27, even when i was 117lbs!!

    I think it may be because I have a medium to large frame. =[
    It's okay tho, I have what I have! :D

    Mine's currently 31". I'd like to be in the 26-28" range - depends on what it looks like. I have wide ribs so a REALLY tiny waist would look ridiculous on me!

    My dream wedding dress is a vintage one that has a 25 inch waist with a 2 inch seam allowance so my goal is to get a 25 inch waist but I'll settle for 27 inches.

    Depends on how you're built. I've always had a small waist. When I started here in February at 143 (I am 47 years old and 5'3" tall) my waist was 26 inches. I'm at 130 now. My goal weight is 125, last time I was at that weight my waist was 24 inches, not sure you'd call me "dainty" though :).

    Woah, it sure is!!

    @ pelleld
    I'm 5'1.5" lol
    It's just a crazy thought, since my thighs are about 22.5 inches around. A waist 1.5 inches bigger? Woaaah.
    I guess you could call me "Thick." :laugh:

    Haha my goal is 24! I'm currently at 25 right now, so getting close. I think it all depends on how you carry your weight, I'm an hourglass. I'm 5'6 and 128 and as long as I can remember I've had a really defined waist, even when I was 10-15 pounds heavier.

    I am in the same boat with a 31 inch waist, mine used to be a 24-26 prior to having 2 almost 10 pound boys. I am wondering if its even possible for it to shrink back down or has my body expanded and can never shrink back?

    When I was in tip top shape I never measured my waist so I'm not sure.....I don't have a waist that goes in tiny on the sides like a friend of mine does. Her waist always measures much tinier than mine no matter what size we are. Shes's got great sexy curves where I have a more athletic build.

    I would guess a 26/27 would be a nice place to start anyway:)

    I am your height but I weigh 142. perhaps if I slimmed down to your size, I too could have a small waist again. Thanks for the imput. I was aiming for 135 but I may go for around 130 and see if I get my waist back:happy:

    Currently at a 33" waist but would love to get down to a 29" and see how I feel there. When I first started in December my waist was at 45" so I'm getting there. :smokin:

    I've been the same, ive been from 117 to 160 lol and ive always had a pretty hourglassish figure.
    39-32-42 at my biggest
    to a 35-27-38 at my smallest

    I just don't think i'll ever get smaller than that. :P

    I currently have a 27 inch waist, and 41 inch hips. Oi. I am very pear shaped. And thighs are somewhere around 23. My goal is to get back to 23-24 inch waist, which is what I used to have, before I put on weight. Oi. Good luck everyone!

    My thighs were 22 last time they were measured. Its easier to hide the thighs because my waist is small, but man I hate my thighs! Thighs are a tough spot to lose weight in, I'm hoping with all my exercise that they will at least get toned so I can wear shorts this summer. I usually stick to capris, in shorts I look like a jello jiggler commercial..............

    My waist is 25.5 but my hips are 37 so definitely not dainty! Just very bottom heavy. I don't really have a goal by measurements though, just want to be smaller.

    My goal is 25.5...I'm at 26.5 right now and don't think any more than another inch is possible.

    You are just about exactly where i am! Drives me crazy trying to find jeans that fit!!! If they fit in the waist they're too tight for my hips and thighs. Then if I buy them to fit my legs I get the annoying gap thing around my waist and my undies hang out! Please tell me you have the same issue?!?!?!?
