Are my measurements good?!


Question: My body measurements are 34-24-35. These are actually quite good numbers but the thing is, I'm only 5'4". So does that mean I'm too fat or square built?

Your right that your height will effect whether your measurements are 'good' or not.

Really I think you should be thinking about whether you are healthy weight or not. One way to measure this is to calculate your BMI (Body Mass Index). If you plug in your stats here you can work out if you fit in the healthy range or not. http://www.extrapounds.com/iwc.htm

Remember that muscle weighs more than fat so the more muscle you have the heavier you can be and still be considered in the healthy weight range.

sounds nearly perfect hon

Perfect. I am 5ft 4.5 and 42-31-41, size 16 and 12st? I am over weight but I am healthy. and curvaceous.

They are good measurements. Your height is fine but are you large or small build? do you think your legs are long?. Where do you carry your weight? Arms, Bottom, thighs, stomach, top back? Your body shape sounds just right for you. If you can climb 4 flights of stairs without puffing then you are fit. If not then being gorgeous and thing wont help your heart and lungs. Enjoy loving your body.

Oh don't be so ridiculous. Just because you see models of 5ft10 with those measurements doesn't mean that at 5ft4 you are going to be big.

In fact here is a reality check for you, the average height for a women is 5ft5 and the average size is a 14-16 (UK).

I'm 5ft2 and have measurements 35-26.5-38 (yes I have a big bum and wide hips) but I'm not too fat so it's 100% impossible for you to be when you are slightly taller and several inches smaller in measurements....unless of course you are all flab and no muscle tone whatsoever.
