What is your inches (or cm) goal?

Since I've stopped focusing on my weight, I've been much more focused on my waist size.

I'm 5'10.5 and presently have a 29.5" waist and am trying for a 27.5" waist.
I'd also like to get my naval under 30" cause right now it's 32.5"

How about you? What is your goal? What is your height too?

    I don't really have a goal in mind as such, I just want to make sure I'm under 30 inches as that is the recommended inches for health wise :)

    I'm 5'4"
    Currently:
    34" - above chest
    37" - at chest
    28" - waist
    37" - hips

    Would like:
    25-26" - waist
    35" - hips
    Content with chest.

    We'll see lol.
    But, now that I am like an average weight I'm losing more inches versus pounds. So, I guess it's plausible.

    uhh....depends on what we're measuring! :laugh:

    But to keep this clean....I've lost about 3 inches off my waist and would like to lose around 3 more. Chest is down about 2 inches and it could lose a 2-3 more. Neck is down 1/2 inch and it could drop up to another 1/2 inch. Biceps....are holding steady and I wouldn't mind adding an 1 inch.

    Now I think that's all I'm going to talk about.... :wink:

    I'm 5'10" and while I would LOVE a 27.5" waist, I don't think that'll ever happen (even at my skinniest it was probably 29").

    My inch goals are 38-40", 30", 38" (B, W, H respectively). Right now they're.... much larger than that, LOL.

    36", 24", 26"- Marilyn, baby! :P

    I'm kidding....sort of. I'm currently at around 36", 30", 37" so to get to Ms. Marilyn's status, I'll just need to whittle my waist (which is odd because I feel like I have a small one already- it's my belly that needs to shrink).

    Seriously dilemma here guys, let me know your thoughts: I know you can't "spot" tone, but that being said I always have disliked my belly and want to flatten it as much as possible. BUT with more exercising etc. I'm worried I'll lose my boobs and *kitten*, which I really like at where they are currently. I KNOW my *kitten* has been shrinking with the rest of me since discovering MFP but I don't want it to go! That only thing I've heard to help is doing squats. Haven't been measuring my chest but all my bras still fit at least. So what do I do about the belly issue without losing the rest of me? I like having a 'woman's' figure with some curve and a liiiittle bit of fat and do not want to get super cut.

    I currently have a 28 in. waist, but would like it to be 25-26. Though, I do think it's more important for me to focus on my belly since that isn't shrinking so much compared to my natural waist. It would be nice to lose another 4 inches or so off of there. I don't really care if I lose more from anywhere else. Toning up my thighs is important to me, but I don't care if they actually get smaller.

    Current measurements are: 38-35-41 (Bust-Waist-Hips)
    Goal measurements are: 34-28-36 or 36-28-36 (lol I think this seems right)

    Slightly off topic but how exactly do I measure my waist? I measure slightly above my belly? But I'm pretty sure something is off since the nr I get is 29 inches and that seems smaller than what I think I am.

    I am 5'4, my current measurements are 39(chest) 29(waist) 40(hips). I want a 22 inch waist which will never happen. Realistically, I could have a 26 inch waist,, so if all stays in proportion chest and hips should be around 36.
