How many inches is that?

I’ve got a question. As a typical woman, I’m never quite satisfied with measurements...🙄
I’m pretty short—around 5'3"—with a 24-inch waist and 35-inch hips. But then I see these tall girls who have way more going on, which makes me feel like I'm lacking. For those of you roughly my size, how many inches are we talking about?🙄 Also, what's the measurement at the widest part of your thigh?

Look, if it makes you feel any better, my waistline is sitting at about 36 inches right now 🙂...

You're just showing off at this point 😁

Come on now, lady, don't go stressing yourself out over such nonsense. If you only knew how many people would give anything to have those kinds of benefits 😛

Look, lady—don't stress over this nonsense—if people actually knew how many women would kill for those measurements... 😛

But seriously, when I scroll through Facebook and see these girls with legs like toothpicks while mine are easily three times that size...😢

Depressed.

😂

Look, you’re essentially just built like a pocket-sized Venus, and honestly, this is just how you'll be shaped for the rest of your life—so be it. It might be better to just embrace it sooner rather than later. Besides, plenty of guys actually prefer that kind of build (and believe me, I'm not just saying that to comfort 😉).

If it really bothers you that much, though, maybe ask the folks over in the weight loss thread about ways to tone things up, because I'm certainly no expert on the matter 😁.

And there are always little visual tricks to make your legs look longer—like wearing heels or choosing dresses with horizontal stripes, for instance.

😂

Yeah, I'm rubbing my eyes too. Am I really on Lennon? 😉

briskstag13 said:I mean, seriously, is it just me? Every time I’m scrolling through Facebook and I see these photos of girls with those impossibly skinny legs... and then I look down at mine, which are basically three times the size. It’s wild, isn't it?😢

Seriously, just get off Facebook. Honestly, why are we even doing this to ourselves? 🧐

I am fairly petite (around 5'3") with a 24-inch waist and 35-inch hips. However, when I look at taller girls, they seem to have so much more, which makes me feel like I'm carrying extra. For those of you who are roughly my height, how many inches are we talking about? 🙄 Also, what is your hip measurement at the widest part?

Let's try looking at this from a different perspective.
Just put the scale and the measuring tape aside for a moment.

Wake up in the morning, stand in front of the mirror (whether you're naked or just in your underwear, it doesn't matter), and really look at your reflection.

Do you actually like the image staring back at you?

If that reflection looks balanced and meets your own aesthetic standards, then there is absolutely no reason to obsess over the scale or compare yourself to women who aren't even your height or have a completely different body type.
But if you find that you aren't happy with what you see, well, that's a whole different story.😉

In that case, focus your energy on adjusting your diet and stepping up your workout routine (there are endless pages on this sub dedicated to that topic), and believe me, I know women who have undergone truly incredible transformations.😉

It honestly doesn't matter what clothing size you fit into, or whether you weigh more or less than your friends, coworkers, or neighbors. What matters infinitely more is whether *you* are happy with what you see, or if you aren't, whether you take steps to make a change.

Constant measuring, weighing, comparing yourself to other women, and all that classic neuroticism—it just doesn't do anyone any good.

Forget about it—everyone looks better on Instagram anyway...
Just be happy with how you look! Those curves are totally fine by me, and honestly, I prefer that over those stick-thin models... 😉

Btw, this isn't saying you shouldn't hit the gym—not at all. Even a perfect body needs maintenance...

I’m on the shorter side—about 5'3"—with a 24-inch waist and 35-inch hips. However, when I look at taller girls, they seem to have so much more going on, so it feels like I'm just carrying extra weight. For those of you who are roughly my height, how many inches are you measuring? 🙄 Also, what’s your hip measurement at its widest point?

Measurements are honestly irrelevant—at least when we're talking about female body proportions.🤣
What actually matters is your overall frame, and let's face it, we aren't all built the same.😉 Take me, for instance—I have 35-inch hips and a 28-inch waist, which looks perfectly proportional on my 5'5" frame, even though my bust is also 36" and I've got a pair of twins up there.😂 BUT—and this is the key part—it's because I have a wider ribcage that my bust hits 36.🤣 Because when someone hears my measurements, they immediately think, "Oh, she's petite, she's definitely got a great chest," and then—bam—not even close.🤣

I’m pretty short—about 5'3"—with a 24-inch waist and 35-inch hips. But honestly, when I see those tall girls carrying way more than that, I start feeling like I'm overdoing it. For those of you around my height, what are your measurements looking like? 🙄 Also, what’s your calf circumference at the widest part?

You're exactly my type. So, when are we getting married? 🙂

For those of you around my height, what are your measurements? 🙄 Also, how wide are your thighs at their thickest point?

Honestly, don't stress yourself out over nonsense or comparing yourself to everyone else's legs.😁
I’m guessing you look great and you’re just overthinking things for no reason.🙂 Take me, for example—I’m about 5'11" and I definitely don't have that perfect model physique, nor do I even want it. Oops, guess I'll just die then, right?😁

Just keep working out and enjoying yourself; let everyone else obsess over their tiny legs and toothpick limbs.😁

well, damn.

haven't you guys locked this thread down yet?

and hey, briskstag13, if you weren't such a beauty, you probably wouldn't have even picked a nickname like that, so I really have no idea what kind of advice you're looking for regarding your measurements...

Linda Martinez60 said:and honestly...

Why hasn't this thread been locked yet?

And look, briskstag13—if you weren't "beautiful," you wouldn't have picked that handle in the first place—so why on earth would I have any advice to give you regarding your measurements?

So shallow. Try using your brain for once—it’s not all black and white...🙄The name briskstag13 comes from a Nirvana song that happens to be one of my favorites, and that's the whole connection to the name. Get it?🙄

Thanks for all the "constructive" feedback, everyone. I'll try to take it to heart.🙂
