What is everyones Ideal measurements for their height? Instead of weight, Ive been trying to focus on losing inches. Much less stressful. lol. Though I would LOVE to get the Megan Fox measurements of 34 22 32, I dont think thats feasible for me. Im 5'8 and currently 34 27 37. I guess my goal would be 34 25 35.

Hello!! I am 5'7 and at the beginning of March I was 39 bust 36 waist 43 hips...what I hope to get to by the end of summer is 36 bust 28 waist 36 hips!!! I do not have a small frame so think this is probably do able!!! 36 24 36 would be really nice...lol!!!0

Yeah I think 24 inches around the waist is the top for models. I would of course love to have that since I have a smaller frame but with 2 kids, I have that extra little that will probably only go away with surgery so 25 sounds good. lol. For a medium frame I think the 27-29 would be perfect!!! I guess ideal measurements also will depend on body type. Im a pear so Im just going to have bigger hips. I try to look for those celebs with that body type and it helps me stop wishing for Megan fox. haha. Blake Lively is a good example.

Yes Blake is gorgeous!! I have an hour glass figure and huge boobs...lol...I dont look big but have a lot of fat around my waist that I want to get rid of. Everyone tells me that I dont need to lose any weight but I just cant help wanting to get back to feeling energized all the time. I am at 167 right now and cant wait to reach the 140's to feel great again and then get to 130's to really be great!!! I am hoping to lose some of my boobs but dont really see that happening as I have lost 30lbs in the past and not lost them so guess I will just have to deal with them. I have 2 kids also and bigger hips so I think a 36 is the best I can hope for with my hips! My waist was a 30 not 7 months ago so I know I can reach a 28!! Good luck and keep it up...we will get there!!0

I would love your measurements! I'm 34-26-40. Can't seem to shrink those hips. I would even be happy with 39, anything less than 40.0 -
Yeah I totally understand that, Ive always hated the big hips even though it used to be considered sexy to have such a difference between waist and hips. Hopefully it will become sexy again, lol. I wish I could get my waist a bit smaller but again it probably would be if I just get that tummy tuck.
I am doing Jillians Buns and Thighs workout video. Ill let you know if I get my measurement to shrink. Come on 35!! 0 -
I've always been a 'pear' shape and am lucky to have a small waist for my frame, but I hated that my hips and lower body were so disproportionate to my upper body. I'm 5'9 and started off 32-26-40. Now I'm at 32-25-38 but would love to be 32-22-36.0

I don't even know... But I did just start measuring over weighing because like you said.... wayyy less stressful. When I see numbers on the scale too often I tend to freak out about the numbers on the scale.
I'm not sure what I am right now as I just started and the numbers arent burned into my brain yet... but I know I'm bigger than you
I think I'm all in the low-mid 30's.
My smallest waist size at 105 was 25"... I don;t plan to be that small again because I was so unhealthy. I plan to be healthy... andd....if the size eventually comes I wont be upset about it. lol. My goal is probably more like 28" waist.0 -
and wouldnt we all love to look like megan fox. lol! I wish....0

I'm 5'8.5" (sometimes I'm only 5'8" - every year at the doctor's office is DIFFERENT!)
I'm aiming for: 42" at the shoulders, 26" at the (natural) waist and 36.5" at the hips.0 -

I know right?? Thought Jessica Biel has a great body too and she is curvier. A 22 waist is just impossible for me. I do think measuring is a much better way to track progress. I get so depressed by the scale . lol. And I measure everywhere. Right now my goal is to tone my thighs and bum more because as a pear thats my problem zone and I measure on all different points on my thighs. Thank you all for answering. I feel a bit better about my measurements. 0 -
These are my current Venus measurements and what I am aiming for (venus) - I'm 5'8":
Current measurements / What I should aim for (VI)
Weight 145.0 lbs. / ~138.0 lbs.?
Waist 26.75" / 25.98"
Hips 39.00" / 36.89"
Shoulders 42" / 41.75"
Now, I haven't weighed myself in 9 days....and I'm feeling pretty light. Am TOTALLY hopeful I'm (finally!) under 145....the next struggle will be getting <140....I don't believe I've been there in my adult life.0 -

i'm 5'8 and sometimes 5'8.5 too, beeps!
right now i'm 35-29-37
what i'd like to be is 35-27-34 and i once got there but my body doesn't like to stay there, or maybe i just like a smaller deficit than maintaining that allows. one thing i'm trying really hard to accept about this process is that we change over time, and it can take a little or a lot to make the change, both bigger or smaller.0 -
5'9" and my measurements are 34.5", 27",and 40".I am pear shaped0

You are not that far off, you can do it.0

No idea what my ideal measurements would be but I am currently 34, 27, 35. Maybe just a little more off the hips?0

I'm 5'8" and my measurements are currently 32-28-40. I would love to have a 22 inch waist but seems almost impossible. So I guess my ideal measurements would be 32-24-34. I want smaller hips!0

im 5 ft 9 and seem to be an extreme pear shape!
bust 32 waist 25 hips 37 so hopefully quite a bit off my hips is the aim.Just wanna have more of a matched up figure ,currently an 8 on top 12 bottom!0
