Body Measurements is this more important than weight?

  • Hey all,

    Joined Curves today and got my measurements done today and was amazed to find that although i seem to think i weigh a lot my measurements tell a very different story.

    I'm closer to size 12 than i think.

    Bust 38 this is rite for size 12
    Waist 32 need to -2
    Abdomen 39.5 need -0.5
    Hips(my problem are, more workouts)44.5 -4.5 TO BE SIZE 12
    Arms 12
    Weight 176 want to loose another stone and half/2 stone
    Height 5'8
    Body fat 29.4%

    Post yours let's see the variations...I'm not so focused on my weight now (cos it ain't moving )I'm just going to work on this 4.5 inches. Do you think i can loose that in 2 months, if i up my workouts to 6 times a week with 3 days of cardio?
  • Good to hear you joined. It's always nice to see the inches come off each month.

    Did you enjoy the workout?

    No I'm not going to post my measurements It's bad enough putting my weight on here.
  • Body measurements more important - in a word. YES! You want to be smaller don't you? If you were a size 8 and weighed 20 stone, would you care?
  • i think this is a great idea. i know i have lost a lot of inches, but i wish i had kept a record
    bust =41"(though my 38b bra is starting to get loose?)
    waist = 38" (?measuring in the right place)
    hips = 45" (were well over 50 when i started )
    arms = 13"
    starting weight 15 st 12 lbs
    current weight 13 st 4 and a half lbs
    goal weight 8 st 4 lbs (negotiable, i was happy at that weight in my 20`s, im older now )
    height = 5 ft 1"
    now wearing size 18`s in most shops
