What are your measurements??

kimber_av

Okay. I have never done measurements of my body. But whenever I discuss my height weight etc people are stunned at how "heavy" I am. I guess I carry the weight well? This of course makes me feel like they are just being kind though.
I'm finally going to do measurements tomorrow morning to get to the facts!
So what are your measurements?
I'm 5'6 so I'm interested to see peoples measurements and weight of those around my height.

Good question kimber_av. I'm 5'7"and struggled for years with body image because even at my very fittest I was never less than 125lbs (and I was tiny then). For some reason it never occurred to me that the people who talk about weighing less than that are generally much shorter than I am and/or a different body shape (I have a pretty solid hourglass figure). It's nice to have a someone a similar size to compare with.

I started my serious attempt at weight loss a couple months ago at 186lbs, and just hit the 15lb weight loss mark this week. A couple weeks into it, I decided to take some measurements. Initial/most recent measurments (as of last night) as follows:

Neck 13.5/13
Waist 33/32
Butt 44.5/43.5
Chest 38/37.5
Bust 41/39 (of course this was the biggest drop) :ohwell:
Arm 13/12
Thigh 27/26

Obviously everyone's different, but hopefully someone else will find this a helpful basis for comparison. Good luck!
