Measured my waist yesterday, and it was 25.5 inches- 1.5 inches smaller than the last time I measured it!

What's your waist size/ goal waist size? :)

Editing to add height- 5'8.5 :)

    When I wake up in the morning, having gone hours without eating, it could be as low as 23", though usually 23.5"
    I'm perfectly happy with it as long as it stays around 24. I only have a pound left to lose so it won't be changing much xD

    Mine is 23 1/2". I'm at goal and other than a slight change with firming up some more this will probably be it.

    Last time I measured it was 24.5"

    I don't really have a goal waist size because I want to gain muscle and lose fat. I don't know how much thicker muscle will make my waist.

    Height could be relevant so let's post that, too. I'm 5'8"

    I'd be super happy to get back to 27", but even 29" would probably be okay.

    I feel big compared to all of you.... but that's OK. I WILL be one of you in under a year. (=

    I'm 5'6" and my waist is 35.5. I've never given much thought to what size I want it to be. I suppose I would like to lose 10 inches or so, but I'd be perfectly fine with looking like this girl. (Size 10, not sure what her waist size is.)

    <--- This is my first goal. I have a long way to yet. Sadly I don't know what my waist size or BF% was in this picture.

    Currently (as of the last time I took measurements):

    Smallest point under ribcage: 34
    Abdomen @ Navel : 41.5

    edit: Oh, I'm 5'4.5"

    26-27 inches. Would like to lose an inch really but this is the smallest I've been by far so not sure if I could lose much more.

    Help, that's tiny! I'm 5'8" and have 30" waist. I'm 150lbs. What weight are you? I'm aiming for 145 lbs and can't imagine being much smaller. I'd be happy with a 28" waist.

    This post prompted me to update my measurements, when I started MFP and exercising My waist was 34 inches and the last time I checked it I had lost 5 inches so was down to 29, on checking today I have lost another inch :) so now 28 inches, I'm really pleased with that but would like to get a little smaller, not really got a goal tho.

    I'm only 4ft 11 1/2 inches but now look in the mirror and like what I see and that's the main thing for me, I've lost 31 lbs so far and looking to lose maybe another 7lbs if I can. I have an underactive thyroid which makes it hard losing weight and I am 50 this year so I think I have done ok so far and feel so much better for it :)

    I am 5'5" tall, and depending on the time of day, my waist measures somewhere between 27 and 28 inches.

    I don't really have a goal waist size, but I do have a goal body fat measurement. I currently have 22% body fat, and my goal is 16%. I am not sure how big or small my waist will be at that point, but as long as I can see ab definition and no flab, I'll be happy with it. I am guessing that it will happen around 25 inches, but I really don't know. My waist seems to be thicker than the other parts of me (my bust is 35 inches and my hips are 37 inches, so technically my waist is proportionally larger than the res tof me) so I might not ever get a really small waistline. But I don't know.

    I do expect to lose at least 1-2 more inches before mid-summer when I go to the beach. I was 23.3% body fat a month ago, so I think that's doable.

    genuinly shocked..

    my partner has a 26 inch waist and perfectly flat stomach hour glass shape and would be a bag of bones if she dropped to a 24 so why are any of you on a diet forum trying for smaller waists ????

    What height is she? People have different bone structures. When I was a stone heavier my waist was 25.
    Its not one size fits all. You need to take in to account frame size and height.

    I'm 131 lbs, currently.
    I have one of those figures that go in lots at the waist.

    Yeah - that's what I thought - wow that's tiny! I've got a 27" waist and I'm 5'8" too! My hips are 38" though so I'm a proper pear! I weigh 140lb I don't know what I want to be but I'd like my hips smaller without losing booty!
