What are your measurements? Being called a liar!

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 :-)

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

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.

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!

Hey, I'm similar measurements: I'm 5'2; 36, 28, 40. My hips have always always been wide and always will be and I cared about it for a very long time but now no longer do.

I believe you! Everyone is different and holds weight different! I'm 5'4 185lbs and i'm 46bust, 34waist, 46hips, yet this women here has the same height & weight as me but i look ALOT smaller than her

....our bodies are just weird lol oh & im a size 12 & the 1st woman is a 14...i was a 14 20lbs ago! Think about muscle and how it could be contributing to your weight, yet your inches are smaller! Muscle takes up less room!

Tell those people to eff off. I weigh ~20lbs more than most people with my measurements, too.

Check out this thread, filled with women who weigh more than they appear:

When I was 13 and a half stone my hips where 41 waist was 36 and bust was 38 I'm 5 ft 8 ... I'm 11 stone now hips 38 waist 28 and bust 34 I'm a pear shape

Im 5ft 10 and weigh 152lbs .my measurements now are under bust 30, waist 26in , hips 35in. i have big hips and thighs :blushing:

I have wondered about this before but we do all carry our fat differently. I have a large bum with big boobs and a pooch of a stomach but i've seen so many people with the same measurements and they have been smaller, they just carry their weight differently to you. height is a big factor as well my arms are big but they also have muscle, as do my thighs, someone could have the same measurements but have more prominent muscle.

I'm 175.3 lbs and my waist is 32 inches and my hips are about 42-43 inches..


AND @osualex your profile picture makes me rofl! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

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!

I'm 5ft 5.5 when I started I was 14st 5lbs my measurements were... hips 41, under boob'age 34 and waist 32 so nope I don't believe you are lying

You're probably fitter than them and that's why your measurements are the same - the numbers on the scale don't tell you everything!

Just to illustrate the point this is the difference in size between fat and muscle at the same weight:

I've had people say that I must be lying about my hip and waist measurements.

People talk 5h1t without knowing;
* your bone density
* your lean muscle versus your total body fat
* your skeletal differences ... e.g. I have very wide hips for a male even when I'm not overweight.

Stop worrying.
Be confident in yourself.
