    i think it's a bit of the old green-eye.... we are the same weight but you're a lot smaller round the middle - gives me something to aim for!

    So, after writing a frank and honest blog post about my weight, bf % and measurements, I've had people say that I must be lying about my hip and waist measurements. e.g. "I'm 30 lbs lighter you and my measurements are bigger, it's just not possible!"

    I'm 5ft 5, weigh 14 stone and my hips are 41 inches, my chest (under bust) is 34 inches and my waist is 31.5 inches.

    Please someone else who is around my weight and hight tell me they have the same-ish measurements!

    my waist is 33 inches, my hips 45 inches, bust is 40 inches and i'm 14 stone 6 lbs. so it sounds about right

    I can't tell you I have similar measurements (I'm shorter and lighter than you are), but muscle vs. fat, frame and body type all play into those things, so it's impossible to compare those things. Height and weight are pretty much meaningless.

    If you say those are your measurements, I believe you.

    dont worry about what other people say...other people suck!

    here -

    http://www.mybodygallery.com/search.html?height=4+11&weight=120&pant=any&shirt=any&zphoto=Large&new=1

    That site is great! It is amazing the difference of women who are the same height and weight, but look totally different. Some of them my size look huge and others don't look overweight at all.

    I believe you. If you are in better shape than most, you have more muscle and less fat...the fat isn't setting on the key points. I went through same once, where people were telling me I was losing too much weight, but still 20 pounds more than I wanted to weigh. Geez, some peeps on here :-)

    I'm 5'5, 190lbs
    Bust:38 (34 under chest)
    Waist:32
    Hips 45

    by comparison- I am one inch taller and 7 lbs heavier, so close to same ratio,
    but I am
    48 bust (36 under)
    41 waist
    41 hips
    my thighs are only 22, so I carry everything in my midsection. (I really want your waist!)

    we would look quite different standing next to each other!

    all of our measurements are going to be different. muscle and fat weigh differently, everyone has different storage spots, smaller or larger bones or wider set hips, it is all so variable. i personally have trouble getting below a 27 inch waist even at my thinnest. others have no trouble with that. my hips are pretty small too (36) but i'm just happy to be getting smaller

    Haters gonna hate...

    We're all different and carry weight in different ways, put on muscle and fat in different ways. There are outliers in any human measurement of anything!

    Seem pretty normal to me, I wish I had your waist. I'm 5'5", 42 hips, 36-37 waist, about 159 lbs. I started with 44 hips and 38 waist and only about 2 -4 lbs heavier, I was retaining water when I started. Anyway, my scale hasn't moved in a week and a half, but I lost those 2 inches of fat on the hips and some on the waist, the waist is my problem area and is always the last to go. My arms are slimmer as are my legs. I have been doing up to 10 miles of cycling and step aerobics. My legs look great! I have gained LOTS of muscle, lost fat, no weight change to speak of. Muscles are smaller and denser then fat. I have been thinner and squishier and weighed alot less.

    Height: 5' 5"
    Weight: 158 lbs (around 11 stone)
    Chest: 36 inches
    Waist: 29.5 inches
    Hips: 37 inches

    I wear around a size 8/10 depending on the maker. But then you have my friend who is slightly taller than me, has a smaller waist, but wider hips and wears around a 12/14. Then you have the actress Nikki Blonsky (who played Tracy Turnblad on Broadway's Hairspray) who is around 4' 10" and is reported to have the measurements 36-28-36 but is considered to be Plus-Sized. Her measurements are smaller than mine, she probably wears a smaller size than me, but she appears larger because of her height.

    See? No body is created equal.

    I don't know what the pounds conversion of stones is... but I'm shorter, 5'2" and 150ish pounds right now and mine are 38-30-40. People are always like "no way! You don't look 150lbs!" when I tell them my weight, never been called a "liar" though!

    I am 5'6" 144lbs and my measurements are bust(fullest part):36 waist:25 hips:36. I have also been called a liar lol. My bodyfat% is around 18%. Measurements are not only about the number on the scale. Someone with more LBM can look smaller and weigh more than someone with a lower body weight but less LBM.
