Guys between 5'5" and 5'9" (~165-175 cm) - Waist and weight poll

I am 5'7" (~170 cm) tall and I have a waist of 40 inches. I currently weigh 191 lbs (~86.6 Kg). Medium Build.

My initial goal is to get to 160 lbs with about a 35" waist.
I will be lifting weights during this time too. I do understand it is to minimize the loss of my existing muscle mass (Can't wait to think about bulking in a year!)

Just curious... what do you consider your "fighting weight and waist" measurement to be?

(Gifs welcome too! :drinker: )

    Well, I'm 5'8" and have a 35 3/4-inch waist, but I'm about 220 pounds >_>

    I'm trying to get down to 175-180, but would still likely be a 33-inch waist minimum. That's just how I'm built, I guess.

    Ha! So correct! I've been wearing 34" waist pants for ages. So four months ago I measured myself - waist 39" Belly 40". Say what? It has come down to 38/39 since then and some of the pants feel more loose. But you can't trust pant size.

    I'm 5ft 9 1/2 and as of this am 186lbs.

    I'm 5'5" 142 lbs 29" waist


    Edit: Waist actually could be smaller, I've been slimming down a little and haven't measured in a bit, might be closer to 28" even.

    5' 9" and weighed 176 lbs this morning. Measured 35.5 inch waist (at the navel) this past Saturday. Wear 34" or a few pair of 33" waist pants.

    Height: 5 ft 8.5 in. Age: 41 Current Weight: about 147 lbs ~10% Bodyfat. Waist: 29", I think?
    30/32 jeans are pretty big on me, but 28/32 are fairly snug. At ~170 lbs, my waist was in the 32-34" range.
