It's blinking lucky that I'm tall.
180cm high, I wear 36" trousers but they sit below my gut... 104cm around. Got quite a bit to shed!
The forum, just now
72” tall
34” waist
borderline obese on the BMI
My missus is 4ft 10, but with a pair of hooters bigger than her waist, how does that affect things?
Anyone?
Just

As long as your nipples are further forward than your belly button, you'll do
32" waist trousers, but 34" stomach after lunch. 71" height, but know and feel that I'm too big around my waist. Need to do more running.

Fantastic stealth boast. Though you may have married my wife's twin sister.
55 year old biker of a long time. I hang about and ride with rowers and ex-rowers who now run and cycle a lot. GB level for masters Tri etc.

I dont drink or smoke, and eat 80/20 very healthy... he says eating his way through a pack of Bourbon Creams as I write this. I do have a 300k Audax tomorrow.
I fluctuate between 84-87Kg - currently just over 85.

I'm picturing you measuring ladies in a club with a small weight on a string...
"Hang on love, before we go any further removes string and weight from pocket, dangles from nipple and checks clearance Yep, you'll do."
Height – 190
Waist – 92
Inside leg – 92
BMI - 22
Age - 57

4ft 10 = 58in / 2 = 29in
Waist - 26in
Important bits = 38in
Does the BMI calculator take this into account or am I missing the point!!
Now then where did I leave me bike?
and I wear 34″ trousers
5’11”.
28″ trousers are tight, 30″ are loose so well under 2:1.
Try actually measuring the waist band of your trousers rather than looking at the label- you might be surprised what size you actually get. Apart from Simon Cowell nobody wears trouser around their waist, they wear them around their hips because its not the 1920s.
The waist measurement for trousers is a bit like the effective top tube measurement on bikes - its an approximated sizing extrapolated from an assumed waist measurement not the actual measurement where the belt of your trousers sits. Back when trousers were worn around the waist it was a meaningful measurement and if you gained or lost weight it would really change what trousers you would buy. I can gain or lose a stone or so depending on how busy I am with work. Makes no difference to what size trousers I wear because my trousers are round my hips and gaining or losing a bit of weight doesnt change the size of my skeleton. So for the purpose of the exercise you would actually have to measure your actual waist line.
Roughly 5’11” or so with a 32” waist, and very little hanging over the top of the waistband. Ok for a (nearly) 68yo.
It’s not your trouser waist, it’s the biggest bit of your belly. Which, unless you’re ripped and have a bangin’ six pack, is going to be bigger.
Surely it's not *that* uncommon to have a smaller midriff than your trouser waistline?
Genuine question… how do I grow two inches taller?
Queen Victoria was 4 foot 11 tall and had a 4 foot 2 waist (according to her well documented bloomers)
Luckily for her they didn't worry about BMI in Victorian days and she lived to be over 80.
Surely genetics also plays a part here. Even before the modern world of refined carbs and sugar there were people (and entire peoples) that were big units. I worked with a guy who was insanely fit and obsessed with working out. BMI classed him as obese because he was heavy for his size. There was bugger all fat on him, just lots of muscle.
A close friend of mine is 43, eats shite, drinks like a fish, thinks exercise is rubbish but still has a borderline six pack. His older brother is the same.
Height = 65 inches
Waist = 28 inches
Inside leg = 29 inches
Annoyingly, most clothes don't fit me as my chest is 36 inches.
Double post
Twaddle. I'm 67" tall. My gut is 32 " and I am a fat knacker at that. 40% of my height would be better.
Yeah. I thought it was weird that they didn't do ranges, like for BMI.
