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.

    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.

    5'8" 212 this morning wearing 40" waist Wranglers and they are a bit loose. I've not tried on 38" yet but I wonder if they would fit in the upper legs. If I could get down to 170 I think I'd be in 36's.

    33 years old, 5'5" tall, 33 inch waist around the navel, 31/32 pant size. Used to be a bit slimmer, but been bulking a bit. Went from 148 to 153 lbs in the last few months.

    5'7", 180 lbs (80-ish Kg), waistline at about 33", chest at 44".
    Goal : 6'1" (just kiddin'), 170 lbs, 32" waistline (seems it's the maximum I can drop to as my hip bones were measured at 32").

    Build: Idunno, really. My chest's naturally big, not stronger than anybody else (well, I guess a bit stronger than usually the norm), just big. I also have naturally powerful legs. I don't really have a V-shape, per se. I'm more the kind of person whose waist is as wide as his thorax. I find it difficult to buy clothes as pants tend to be to long leg-wise because of my waist, and t-shirts are one size larger than my size to accommodate my big pectoralis.

    I am 198 pounds or as us Brits would say 14 stone and 2 pounds.

    Waist for jeans and trousers is 34-36 depends on the cut, but if waist measurement is the one done around the belly button then I am 43 inches ouch!

    Sorry forgot I am 5ft 6 and I am medium build quite stocky.
