I was browsing blogs and came across this excerpt

"I am 60 inches tall (Yes, just 5 feet) and today I weigh 140 lbs. Yikes! Statistically I should weigh around 115 to be "healthy". Well I am most definitely not healthy :( And here's how I can tell:

- Measurements:

Bust: 38 in
Waste (yes I intentionally mis-spelled this because that's what it is)- 37 in.
Butt: 40 in.
Arms: 11 in
Thigh: 20 in.
Calf: 12 in.
"

It's amazing how we can have different heights and weights and vary in size.

I'm 5' 1" currently 156lbs
Bust: 36"
Waist: 31"
Thighs: 25" (Yes, I'm a pear)
Arms 12"

Anyway, My point is I think we should stop obsessing over the number on the scale(I'm still working on this) and focus on how we feel in our clothes.

    hips: 28.1

    thighs: 31.1

    im happy with these measurments :flowerforyou:

    You are in a size 4 jeans and 96 lbs but your thighs are 31 inches??? I measure my thighs at 22 inches...that can't be right. I wonder if I am measuring wrong. I can't imagine at your weight and jean size that my thighs are smaller than yours. Gosh, I hope I have been measuring right.

    Nah, pannelkat. The last pair of pants I bought were a size 16 and would've been a size 14 if it wasn't for my thighs. And my thighs are 27.5" :wink: I have huge thighs, even for my size, so it sounds to me like you're measuring correctly.

    Some people take a measurement at their hips and a measurement at the top of their thighs (all the way around both of them) so maybe that's what she did instead of measuring each thigh individually.

    That makes more sense. Thanks.

    My current stats are:
    Height: 5'4"
    Weight: 203 lb
    Bust: 43 inches
    Waist: 33.5 inches
    Hips: 47 inches
    Arms: 14 inches

    I've been working out for about 8 months with little, almost no weight loss.. I just started using MFP to try to get a better handle on things.

    When I first started working out:

    Weight: 210 lb
    Bust: 46 inches
    Waist: 36 inches
    Hips: 49 inches
    Arms: 17 inches

    I have the measurement results, which is the only thing continuing to motivate me. I'm getting married in May and was hoping to have lost a significant amount of weight by then.. I know that goal won't be met, but at least my arms will look better in my dress
