Anybody brave enough to post their waist measurement?

[MurielHeslopp]

I've just measured my waist. It's 40in and I'm only 5ft 2!

I do seem to put weight on round my middle since having the kids. I think it's part fat and part shot muscles.

My waist is 31, a year ago it was 41. I'm short too (5ft 4). I still have a mummy tummy and muffin top but I'm too lazy to exercise so I will probably have to live with that!

Thanks Johnny . That's brilliant- 10 inches! You must feel so much better for it.
I'm pretty sure I will always have the mummy tummy too, with all the excess skin and saggy belly. Bleargh!

My hips are 43

I've always worried about my big bum - and now it really is that big...

34.5 inch waist, 40 inch bum, 5 feet 7

34.5 waist, 44 hips, I'm 5'9' with quite a tum!

30 inch waist 40 inch bum 6ft

30 inch waist 40 inch bum 6ft

Arghhhh! You all have tiny waists compared to little old dumpling me.

28" down from 30 after taking up excercise again.
I'd like it to be 27".

28" waist - 45" hips - thighs off the scale .. I redefine the pear shape - am more of a pyramid... weight comes off my waist first making me look even more ridiculous..

Weirdly muriel I didn't really feel fat, I was hourglassy and think I carried it off ok (or maybe I deluded myself.) Then I saw a bad photo with five chins and I weighed and measured myself and realised I was obese. Thanks to the help of the lovely mumsnetters on the now or never threads I lost 4 stone and now I do feel a million times better.

35inches. I'm 5 foot 5. 37 inch hips so just very apple shaped......

That said I'm never really sure where to measure, I measured round my belly button but my belly is fatter again than that
