I measured myself this morning using an inflexible industrial measuring tape and a USB cable.
Bust: 32.5"
Waist: 26"
Hip: 36"
Thigh: 20.5"
OMGOMG! I have done the EXACT same when I didn't have a measuring tape yet last year. Hahahaha. Hilarious. I can tell you Krampus, a measuring tape is easier. And onlye like half a dollar at whatever which place that has em. Hihi
Hey, are you sure you are doing this correct? It would mean that one leg is the same circumference as your torso? It seems kind of impossible to me!
I'm not sure, I measure at the biggest bulge of my thighs, with the bulge being up towards the top of my thigh, but then my thighs narrow out as it gets closer to my knee. Maybe i'll try measuring in the smallest part, my thighs seem to be stalling when it comes to loosing weight as I've lost the majority of my weight in my stomach and boobs.
@ philana- I'm so glad you pointed out about the mismeasurment. I just remeasured my thighs and you're right, I did measure wrong, I'm thinking I must of did a stupid mistake and held the tape measure wrong lol. I got 22 when I remeasured, so their still big, but soooo much better than 36
Huh. I've lost inches all around but I haven't lost any weight as far as I can tell. Everything looks better too.
I think it's a combo of weight training and my extra skin shrinking up. My stomach skin does not hang as much when I am doing planks !
New measurements:
Bust: 35.5"
Waist: 24"
Hips: 33"
Thigh: 19"
I didn't put it before, but my upper arms have gone down to 9" when last time I measured they were 10". Makes sense as I can see more muscle tone...I must have gotten rid of the fat there.
What's amazing to me is that my hips are now the same measurement as one of my thighs once were!!!
I've gained 3 pounds since having surgery last month, and my body composition has changed by a smidge, so my waist and hips have both gone up 1 inch approximately. This is from tonight:
My thighs are only a couple inches smaller than my waist. Yikes!
Haha, we have approx the same thigh/waist measurements and I know how you feel. My thighs are just massive. Wish mine were solid though!!!! It's showing them to my mom without pants on yesterday that finally shut her up about me not dropping any more weight. LOL. One big pudding. Oh well. I'll get there.
I would like to add my measurements to this thread. I don't bother measuring my bust because I am breastfeeding so it changes size throughout the day. lol
Start: current:
arms: 12 in arms: 11.6 in
waist: 31 in waist: 29 in
abs: 39.6 in abs: 34 in
hips: 36 in hips: 35 in
thighs: 22.2 in thighs: 20.4 in
I am really working on my arms right now because they look so much bigger than the rest of my body and combined with my giant breastfeeding boobs I feel like my top half of my body doesn't match the bottom.
Okay, I got sick of not knowing my mesurements too and got them tonight using the little rope my boyfriend uses to tied up roastes meat and some handyman measuring tape... that was handy... NOT
My technic probably involves some marge of error byt anywa... gives some hint
Bust : 34'' with a crappy bra that did not support much lol
Ribcage : 27.5 ''
Waist : 27.7 '' ... same as ribcage. what a waist LOL
Butt/hips : 38'' arrrrrg
tighs : 21-22'' at this point the cat was jumping around me trying to catch the little rope, so this one is unsure.
It's kinda weird that I don't have much difference between my ribcage and my waist. Oh well. It would not be the first time my body is freacky :P
