Is a 28-29 inch waist too big?

[FiyFiyGirl95]

Hi, I'm 17, and in my last question I asked if my hip size is too big, and a couple of people said my waist measurement is quite big as well. I'm 5'1 and about 67 kg. My waist is roughly 28-29 inches, and my hips are about 41-42 inches. Even though there is quite a big difference between the measurements and my waist-hip ratio is 0.68/0.69, is my waist measurement still too big for someone my height? Thank you :)

I'm the same height as you and curvy although not as curvy. I agree with one of the answers, it'd probably be good for your health if you dropped a few kg like maybe 5-6. Just for comparison if you want to know I'm 5'1 a tiny bit less than 59 kg and my waist and hips are 27-28 and 37-38 And the ratio is about .72

Your waist measuremtn is fine, it just seems like your a pretty curvy pear

Despite my weight technically and statistically being a little high for my height, it's mostly in muscle because I'm pretty toned and when people guess my weight they usually think I'm around 54 kg.

I think for our height the "healthy" weight has a pretty big range if you account for different bone sizes and amounts of muscle or fat

I'd say a healthy weight for a girl who's 5'1 can probably range anywhere from 45-62kg

Yes, your waist and hips are both too large, and you're overweight. Based on your height, youd probably look good losing 3 inches off each measurement, and at least 20 pounds.

Her waist is a normal measurement imo

[Girlie8780]

A 26 inch waist is really small

And if she lost even 10-12 lbs she should be at a relatively healthy weight by then

[iPood]

Sorry,no. She's 5'1. What's small on a tall girl will not look the same on her. Also, she's almost 150 pounds. That's nearly obese for her height. She needs to lose a lot of weight and inches to look better and for her health

[Chris30]

At least she carries most of her weight in the hips as opposed to the waist. Not many 5ft1 girls can be almost 150lb and still have a waist under 30 inches.

That's rude asf like there is nothing wrong with her body and she doesn't have to lose any amount of inches and or pounds.

[kheserthorpe]

I suspect you'd be healthier and look better lighter. That's quite a lot of weight for someone your height.

Where you are fortunate is that based on your measurements, you carry that extra weight in what would be, visually, the best way possible. I suspect you look 'curvy' where a lot of girls with your weight/height would look like a mess.

[madhatters4]

based on strictly your body mass index you are in the 76th percentile which means that you probably could stand to lose some weight. Which means you weigh more than 76% of women your age.

That is an entirely scientific aspect and doesn't really speak to appearance

[MaskofInsanity]

I think it depends on how you hold the weight, really. I think Kim K's measurements are something like 34-26-39 so you're not crazily different from that, but I think for your height a lower weight tends to look better. That being said, without pics its hard to tell.

Personally I'm not fussy and I don't necessarily think you're too big at all. I would probably still find you attractive but you need to be comfortable with the way you are, if you're not then there are things you can do to change that such as dieting, exercise, etc and wearing clothes which compliment your figure. However, you should understand that you are beautiful no matter what.

Yeah your waist is borderline big. I don’t weigh myself, I take measurements and whenever I measure myself and see my waist more than 26 I begin to run ASAP cause that’s how I know I’m gaining weight and my stomach is getting big! Hips are really not that easy to tell because skinny girls can have super wide hips, but the waist is a tad bit. FYI I’m 5’6.

[muliebrity]

Depends on proportion. My friend has a huge hips but her waist size is similar. Likewise My waist size is the same but i have no hips. So it looks wider than it is.

[Chris30]

For a 5ft1 girl, the waist should be under 30 inches, so 28-29" is still healthy.

[Anonymous]

Its getting there. That's a nice waist-hip ratio but you're a little on the big side for someone who is only 5'1", both the hip and waist measurement. But as long as you're healthy and feel secure about your appearance then who cares

[Clarke498]

Really need a picture to tell. These numbers tell me nothing.

[Anonymous]

If you are healthy and look good then who cares about measurements

[Anonymous]

Your waist is not big but hip is really quite big, mine waist is 29 and hip 34.

[Secret6620]

No. Doesn't sound too big.

[MrKinktastic]

No your ratio is spot on in my opinion.

[GoodBetterBestBad]

pics...i don't know numbers

[Anonymous]

No girly, it is not big.

[Hurdleez-Swampede]

Doesn't sound big to me. Mine is 28 itself.

[Sambelfast34]

What's that in UK size

[Anonymous]

For a girl? Yeah, you fat as fuck..

[Anonymous]

Sounds okay but you're a little overweight

[KatnCat]

It sounds normal

[CoffeeWC]

That's normal
