    My goal as a 57 year old 6 foot tall man is a 32 inch waist. 24 months ago I was out growing a 52 inch pants now I'm down to a 33 inch.
    I've lost 155 pounds. I've gone from a 4X shirt to a medium.

    I don't have a specific number goal b/c I honestly don't know what my body is capable of, the first 28 years of my life I was a certified couch potato, so now that I'm exercising I really don't know what my body's going to do. I'm happy just to see noticeable improvements.

    My goal waist is 27" currently at 31". I'm very much an inverted triangle and I would kill to have wide hips...but no dice. :'(

    For right now I'd be happy with anything lower than 30". In an ideal world, I would love to be 26".

    I am about a 27 right now, hoping to get to 26. Rule of thumb is half your height in inches for waist size. Which for me is 26, lol.

    26 would be nice. Right now it's a little over 27 if I pull the tape measure real tight. :laugh: But if it's possible, 25 or smaller I'd rather have because I don't have very wide hips and I like a smaller cinch in the waist.

    I've never given it much thought. Right now my waist is about a 26, so I'd like to go down to a 24. As for my hips, they're about 31 and I'd love to get down to a 28! I'm really petite and only 5'0 so these measurements may seem tiny, but they're a little wide for my height :)

    28" waist, get.

    Im currently running about 34".

    I'll never be a stick, actually anything that's not 30"+ would be awesome.

    I'm 46 years old, 5'11" and from my high 40 pants size (that was tight), I want to get back down to the 31 I was at 29 years old. I also want my chest to be greater than 45.

    I don't have a measurement goal at the moment, but long ago I said that I would only have a problem when my gut is bigger than my chest. So when my goal is to get my gut into shadow on a sunny day, (very few of them in Sydney at the moment so I have some time :-)

    That's TINY.
    my goal waist is 28"
    That would give me a height to waist ratio of about 46%

    If you're 5'7'' and you had a waist of 24", that'd give you a waist to height ratio of 35.8% and that sound VERY low to me.

    I think the rule is 'no more than half your height' with the 'preferred range' being between 45% and 48%

    Thank you! Its probably not possible. I have a 26 inch waist right now but wear a size 9-10 because my butt is 38 and figured my waist would have to get smaller if I wanted to fit into my cloths from last year. What I really want is my butt to shrink.

    Kind of a timely question. I do my measurements every Friday morning and last week my waist was a 28. This morning I was a 26. When I saw that I thought, "No, I did it wrong. There's no way that's right." I measured again. Again, it was 26. So I went and found another kind of string to measure and did it in front of a mirror, thinking I was somehow not measuring correctly. Again, a 26. I only lost .4 lbs in the last week but the waist measurement really threw me for a loop. The human body is weird, but fascinating.
