    About a week old except the navel measurement which was a new concept to me. I use the metric system because of where I live and find it more precise anyway, but added the conversion.

    163cm -- 5'4''
    CW: 53kg -- 117lbs
    Bust: 91cm -- 35.8''
    Underbust: 77cm -- 30.3''
    Waist: 61cm -- 24''
    Navel / across belly button : 70cm -- 27.6''
    Hips: 91cm -- 35.8''
    Thigh: 51cm -- 20.1''

    I do Pilates regularly since summer 2012 (about 30min 6 days a week, sometimes more and no doubt sometimes a bit less), though I stopped a bit during summer-autumn 2013 and lost a bit of my definition, mostly in the thigh area and a bit the navel too.
    I'm gaining it back quite quickly, I guess my tonus was more on a holiday than permanently gone, do full body work out but focus slighty more on my thighs at the moment. That and my butt and boobs is where I put on fat (and water) most easily. I'm not very focused on bust and hips because I don't want to screw up the perfect hourglass figure I have at the moment. I haven't really worked on that but I'm thrilled it happened anyway. I always had a defined waist so I can't really advice on anything related to waist definition, I guess that's part of genetics in my case, but I used to be more pear than hourglass, so that can be worked on, at least a bit, it would seem. I focus also on my arms, and will soon doing more cardio, though I'm really struggling with anemia these past weeks (health condition which leads me to B12 and a bit iron malabsorption) and since november or december walking is enough to put me on my knees so I take it easy until my dietary complements do their job.

    Love this post. As others mentioned, it's nice to see what size others are at comparable heights/weights. It is interesting at how we are all different which is what we need to expect and understand.
    I am currently 5'41/2"
    Current weight: 156.4
    Hips: 42.5
    Navel: 32.5
    Bust: 39.5
    Don't measure under ...
    Thigh: 24.5
    My goal weight is 140lbs. I have been 134 in the past and loved how I looked then but found it difficult to maintain AND I was a lot younger. I will see what 140 looks like and feels like and decide whether that is a good weight when I get there. I do exercise daily, currently doing 30 Day Shred and noticing a huge difference in my body but not losing a lot of pounds. I have 9 more days on that program and will go onto Ripped in 30 but think I will try a bit of running and weights for awhile to see if that will help me drop pounds a bit faster. Who knows until I try!

    I'm a little closer to 5'6, but:

    current weight: 126lbs
    underbust: 28
    actual waist: 27 [target 25]
    naval: (haven't measured this but would guess 30ish)
    hips: 38 [target 36]
    thigh: 22

    (I'm a bit of a pear!)
