12 inch hip/waist ration difference??

[Anonymous]

Hello all..

I was wondering if I was weird or normal...

My hips and waist are 12 inches different...

My waist is 28 and my hips are 40...

Is this normal? Or am I fat?

I mean, I weigh 130...I'm in normal weight...

but because of my measurements, do you think that would make me seem "fat" even though I don't technically look it?

How tall are you? 28 and 40 sounds thick regardless, but if you're tall maybe not too bad. The 12 inch difference between measurements is no big deal. Think 36-24-36 on a tall girl. That's a pretty great figure.

How big are your boobs? Do they balance out our hips?

[Asker]

Nope, I'm not tall. I am 5'2.

How big are you up top? Are you an hourglass or a pear?

[Asker]

I'm a pear :/

Somewhat thick hourglass. The 12" drop is about right given your hips.

We can't tell without seeing a picture or at the very least knowing your height.

But 130 lbs isn't fat 99% of the time.

I suppose if you were a 4ft 7 year old, 130 pounds would be really big lol.

[Asker]

Okay...not fat. Good. and Lol I am 5'2 and I am pretty "evened out". I do run track and swim...so I don't understand why my hips aren't losing a few inches because I am active and healthy...

[proudtexasgirl]

Well I don't know what your hips look like, but they may not slim down because it's bone there. If you run and work out, it's probably muscle too. That's good!

Waist-Hip-Ratio has nothing to do with being "fat" or not. It's a body shape. It's the actual measurements themselves that would say something about thickness.

But no, you just have a high WHR.

Your weight seems fine but a 40" hip measurement is quite large... it couldn't hurt to bring it down a few inches, and perhaps your waist too, depending on your body type

[Asker]

Yeah I've been trying to get down a bit to maybe a 26 or 26 inch waist so then maybe my hips would lose a few inches as well...

[iPood]

Yeah. If you focus on cardio you'll likely lost inches all over although if you tend to store fat on your hips that'll probably be the last place you lose it from

[normalice]

i'd have to see you from multiple angles to know whether or not I considered you "fat." Numbers mean so little when it comes to what is aesthetically appealing.

Your measurements are similar to mines . As long as you're active, healthy and fit it doesn't matter. Just enjoy life and be healthy!

[Asker]

I swim during the summer and do track all year long, so yes very active and I get the appropriate amount of calories...

Thats a 0.7 ratio which is considered perfect, although I can't comment anything else without pics.

It seems fine to me and about right. Thick is nice
