i know that everyone is built differently and carry weight at different areas of the body.

i am at 116lbs yet have a 28-inch waistline.

i just want to know about OTHER people:
what are you waistlines and how much do you weigh?

i know it's not a matter of weight that determines the waistline as weight constitutes fat and muscle weight.
BUT FOR GENERALITIES SAKE-- please help. thanks.

Oh yeahand I'm 43 years old somy whiny build in excuse is that I have the ever expanding waistline of age...

From books I've read - the waist measurement is important to your hip measurement - youcan google waist to hip ratio calculator to see if it puts you at increased risk for coronary artery disease

with 38.5 inch hips that gives me a .84 which puts me at amoderate risk...

I'm with Mal that waist-to-hip ratio is the more-important thing.

I'm 5'4", about 127 pounds, and have a 28" waist. (And a w/h ratio of .76, because I carry all my weight in my hips and thighs.)

I weigh 60 kg and my waistline is 32 inches. I thought that was fairly good, but now I am not so sure anymore! I am 1.65m tall (5'6).

Where are you guys taking this measurements?? At belly button level or the skinniest part right below your ribs??

My skinniest part isn't right below my ribs.

I measure like for clothing, so where the waistline of my pants go. On me, that's about navel level. With a finger between my body and the tape.

4'9"
147 lbs
31" waist
46" hips
.67 on the hip to waist ratio

According to the waist to hip calculator I used, you should measure your waist at the belly button or just above it.

Measuring there, my waistline is 31 inches. If I measure where the waistline of my pants goes, it's much closer to 37....and my hips are only 38.5.

I like the 31 inch measurement much better and it puts my ratio at .81.

To the OP....what is your hip measurement?

The problem with measuring your waist at the point where your belly button is - people who have been very big like me have belly buttons that are nearer the hip level than anything else. That measurement is dramatically bigger than the narrowest point that I have always referred to as my waist which is where the waistline of my skirts and trousers go.

Well measuring just above my belly-button my waist is about 26 inches, and I'm 114 lbs.

I still think of my stomach as a major problem area though. It's the lower part that bothers me. I just wish it were flatter!

my waist is 27inch and i weigh 136lbs.
i am aiming for 126ibs so im not sure how this will affect my waist measurments. I have a wee beer beely at the bottom which i HATE! i dont tend to put weight on my stomach but this beer pot has sprung up on me, so its back to the vodka and scotch!

Height - 5 8"
Weight - 160-Something pounds
Waist - 32.5 inches

Height - 5'9"
Weight - low 160s
Waist - 32-33"

I'm 5'2" and 147lb. My waist is 29 inches and my hips are 39 inches, so my ratio is 0.74
