Ladies around 5'7 - 5'9 what is your weight/ measurements?

So, there are a lot of these threads about, but I can't find that much for those around the 5'8 mark.
I am curious as I feel very bottom heavy (pear all the way!) and lots of the hip measurements I see seem a lot smaller that mine :-(
I'm 5'8.5, current weight 184.
Hips/ bum: 43"
Waist 30"
Thighs 23.5"
Bust 38"
I'm wondering what these will look like at my goal of around 150!
Thanks!

Hello!
5'7.5"
WT: 150 (I think, I just started up again and haven't weighed myself yet!)
Bust: 38
Waist: 29
Hips: 38
Can people please tell me, do you measure your waist around the smallest part, or where your belly button is? cos the smallest part of my waist is about 2 inches above my belly button??
Also hips - do you measure around near where the top of your jeans sit, or around your bum?
Thanks

Waist should be the smallest part and hips are the fullest part of your bum

Bust: 37
Waist: 29.5
Hips: 38.5
Thigh: 23
Edit: weight is 157.8 pounds.
Starting to get annoyed that my waist is about the only thing that isn't budging--although I can tell my abs must be stronger because if I suck my gut in and measure, I can get it down to 27.5.
For the person who asked: waist measurement is taken at your "natural waist," which is the smallest point. Hips at the widest part.0 -
Oooh well in that case;

I was measuring my 'love handle' hips lol0 -

My hips aren't my widest point. My hips I measure at my hip bones. My widest point is my lower belly or "pouch" or lower abs. I agree with the natural waist being the smallest point or the point in which you midsection tapers in!0 -
5'8" as well and also a pear.

Thighs: Never know where to measure this - is it at the thickest part or a set number of inches above the knee? All I know is my thighs are HUGE!
Bust: Never measured? Sorry, I do know I've gone from a 36C to a 34C if that helps.

Your shape sounds great! Isn't that every womans dream - small waist, decent hips and a big chest! You could always see if you qualify for a reduction threw your insurance (assuming you have insurance).0 -

Ha ha thanks, but seems none of us happy with our shape. Too scared of the knife, but maybe an option, in the uk on the nhs you have to prove eligibility. I do get terrible back problems and arm tingling from straps digging in, so a possibility. Would love a natural way to tone though, it seems no matter how much I exercise the weight stays there!0 -
I was just thinking the same, I'd love these measurements.0 -

My waist also won't budge!! It's been sitting at this since the beginning of April. Perhaps if there's not much to lose on your waist, it won't shrink? At least not by much?... that's my guessing. Anybody else have any ideas?
EDIT: I thought you had said waist, not weight. My bad! :laugh:0 -
