ladies - 5ft 5/6 what are your measurements?

DaraEden · November 2012

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.

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?

Klem4 · December 2012

5'6''
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.

SnazzyTraveller · December 2012

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"
