Waist Size

[GMTMaster]

I've just been tidying the house as were swapping bedrooms to give the kids more room to play and stumbled across a pair of jeans that I bought back in 1999 when I was at Uni, there a 38 inch waist and fit really well so that's me happy at late last year I was needing a 42 so I think a small shopping trip next weekend is needed as 38 is easier to find than 40 or 42's.

And you'll get trendier jeans ;)

What really pi**es me off about this subject is you can't generalise about people!
If you believed the magazines then the whole of the English rugby squad would be obese!!!! As would any nations team, would you be the one to tell em????
As a species we are getting bigger, living longer. Technological advances in medical care, better diets are all contributing to this. Yes there is a point where people need to lose weight but the charts issued to GP's etc can only generalise. Unless your GP is unhappy with your weight then don't worry.
P.S. I happen to be 6ft 2" and 19 stone

Since we're adding height and weight now, I answered 30" waist but I'm 5' 11", 44-46" chest and weigh just shy of 14 stone.

[AndyMilts]

38", probably even a bit more. [cartman] I'm not fat, I'm festively plump. [/cartman]

From an online calculator............

Your BMI is 34.1, which means you are in the very overweight or obese category. Losing weight would make a big difference to your health - you might want to speak to your GP about the best way to do this.

My BMI used to be around 34 when I was 7.8% body fat - it is a bad indicator imo. Waist size and collar size would be more relevant ,- but body fat would give a clearer picture - none of these makes you healthy though.

Gets bloody cold this time of year when your body fat is below 10% not nice

That very low body fat I recommend a course of pies or you blow away

[Andbikes]

34" and struggling to keep it from going up the scale

[spencerwells]

I think I'm 34", although I usually end up buying whatever fits length ways so sometimes have to get a 36. I've got very long legs and a tiny body, not sure how all my organs fit. I'm probably liverless.

[Pitch3110]

5'10", 12st 1lb, 32".

Been on the dukan although not strict since July and lost 18lb + gym at home also.

Downside......a draw full of 34" Replay jeans that are now looking silly.....
