It's really hard to compare your weightloss results with someone else whenever that person could have a completely different body type. I to know what realistic mesurement goals I can set myself because I'm not sure if the number on the scale is enough on its own.

I'm 5ft 5/ 5ft 6 (167 cm)
I weigh 126 lbs
36 - 27 - 37

    5'6''
    118 lbs
    Bust: 34.5
    Waist: 24.5
    Hips: 35-37 depending on where I measure exactly.

    I would actually like to gain some muscle since all of the weight on me is mostly flab. I'd be happy at a muscular 125.

    ETA: It sounds like you're at a very healthy weight, and I wouldn't encourage losing more. If anything, lose fat and gain muscle.

    I'm a little taller (not-quite-5'7") but here:

    bust: 34"

    waist: 25"

    hips: 36"-ish

    weight: 130

    Trying to get at least down to 120, at most down to 115. My most comfortable weight is 118, although I'd really just be happy losing a size & gaining more muscle right now.

    I am female, 5'6" & 140lbs

    36 - bust
    30 - waist
    37 - hips

    As you can see, I don't have an hour glass figure like you guys. My waist isn't small. I'm more of a "straight" or "apple body type."

    I'm amazed that my measurements are the same as those of women that are twenty pounds lighter than me.

    Nothing wrong with a straight body type! It looks cute in almost everything! Though your measurements sound like you have a waist going on in there.

    Thanks. It's no so apparent in person unfortunately. From the side, I look thin but if you look at me straight on my body looks wide. I'm kind of like a rectangular box lol

    I am the same way!! I have a wide rib cage, and large hip bones that rest higher than most people, leaving me with no waist...straight on i look really wide..hoping to tone up my midsection to create as much of a waist as I can. I try to focus on the pros that come with it, like effortlessly toned legs :)

    5'5" (165 cm)
    ~ 135 lbs (haven't checked in a while since shark week is coming up)
    Bust: 32"
    Waist: 25"
    Hips: 36"

    I'm pretty athletic, so I have a decent amount of muscle tone.

    5'5
    153 pounds.
    36 - 29 - 37

    Interesting. Just for comparison, when I was 153 my measurements were 37 - 30.75 - 40.5. Now at 130, they are 33.5 - 27 - 36.5. And I have a decent amount of muscle and 22% BF. I am guessing you have lower body fat and a lot more muscle?

    Fluctuating currently, but about 146lbs.
    I haven't taken measurements lately, but last was:
    bust: 34"
    waist: 31"
    hips: 39.5"

    I want to lose 3" from my waist and hips. I currently wear a size 8. I carry most of my weight on low belly/hips. which was not the case before kids! lol. dangit.

    Same here! I've never had leg problems. In fact I have long legs & a short body so I think I have that high hipbone thing as well. My friend and I are apple body-type and are trying hard to shrink our waists!

    She's 5'1", started with a 42" waist in January & is now stuck at 28" 1/4 waist
    I'm 5'7", started with 31" waist & now I'm at 30" & fighting hard to get near 29". I would kill to have my friend's 28" 1/4 waist lol But she would like to be 27"

    I am 5' 6.5"
    Current weight is 127.5

    is the "bust" measurement, the measurement of your chest underneath your boobs?
    or are you guys measuring around your boobs as well?

    my chest measurement under my boobs is 30"
    Waist 28"
    Hips 35"

    Which I guess makes me a pear.. most people say I look like an hourglass though which I am assuming is because I have broad shoulders.

    A bust measurement is over the boobs. At the nipple.
