Vital Statistics

I recall getting measured for work uniform and my waist measured 28" on the measuring tape which I thought was big. It would be nice to be 28" now !!

Now the worry is all those with waists in excess of 34 inches!

Coolgran 65 I was also a 28" waist all through my teenage years and even after my first baby when I was 22. I thought it was big too but in those days I had friends whose average waist size was 24".

Models and film stars were often described as having the perfect 'vital statistics'. We never hear of that now, do we?

Surely that has to be a good thing! When talking about male film stars, they didn't state their vital statistics: 42, 34, 3"

When I first married, aged 19, my waist measured a little over 20" (hubbie could get his hands around my waist) and when I married the second time (late 30s) my waist measured 22" - but did it make any difference to me as a person? No! I've never understood what the fascination of all that was about.

Those were my statistics in my late teens/ early twenties [sigh]

I'm glad they've gone too. My waist was 28" and I felt it was too big, but now I haven't got one!

Strange expression- vital statistics - glad it's gone.

I suspect more of us had 28 inch waists than were prepared to admit it at the time!

I would love to have a 28" waist now. I don't seem to have a waistline at the moment. In my 20s, it stayed at 26" and I looked pretty respectable. Childbirth has a lot to answer for. Well, that's my explanation excuse.

I am a pear! Boo Hoo - I long for nice legs.

I'm an apple whereas I once was a figure 8.

I can just about make out a waistline, if I heave my rib cage up to where it should be. (That sounds horrible doesn't it)

I used to be 34/24/33. And 8 stone 2. Too thin I think.

Now, I'm dieting.
