    I actually look more like this woman here:http://www.mybodygallery.com/photos-28487-body-shape.htm#img
    ....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:

    I'm a bit shorter than you and have a 36 inch waist and 43 inch hips but around same weight. Makes sense to me. There are people that I know weigh less than me by a stone or more and still wear same size clothes as me. (UK 16) agree that everyone is different.

    I'm 5'5'' and 132lb (9 stone 6) and am
    31' under bust
    28.5' waist
    37' hips

    I'm sure you've measured and re-measured esp after been called a liar, so am sure you're right. We're all built differently.
    You may have more muscle or carry more weight in your legs or boobs.

    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.

    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!

    Well i don't know how much 14 stone is, but I'm also 5'4 and your measurements are almost exactly like mine.

    Meh, of course it's possible.

    People have different fat distributions (where they hold their fat deposits) and different ratios of fat to muscle (muscle occupies less space than fat so measurements will be smaller.)

    Pay them no mind...

    Edited: to avoid the inevitable "does 1lb of muscle weigh more than 1lb of fat debate."

    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!

    Each one of us is unique Sunlover - and as for being called a liar, well it's their problem not yours. Try to ignore the negative stuff and focus on the positive, e.g. how uniquely beautiful you are x

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

    I'm close to you in height and weight (I'm sorry, I'm a wimp,I don't want to put up my measurements) and our measurements are pretty different. Doesn't mean either of us is lying, just means we have different bodies. For example, I hold all of my weight on my stomach, you might hold yours elsewhere.

    Whoever said that needs to grow up. I hope they've read this topic, because what they said was unnecessary and actually pretty mean. Just ignore them, you're obviously doing really well!

    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.

    I'm 5'6", 11 stone 7 (161lbs), my chest is about 37, waist just under 30, and hips 40. I am heavy for my measurements, most women with the same measurements as mine are at least 10lbs lighter.
