Now, this is interesting. My measurements:
Chest across nips 32
Chest under boobs 28
“Natural” waist 26
Across navel 26 3/4
Across hip bones 31
Across butt 35
So, honestly. If anyone has to worry about the illusion of a “thick waist” it is surely NOT you. My body started looking a helluva sort better the instant I trained me up some shoulders!
I love shoulders! we carry the weight of the world on them, so they might as well be strong(and sexy too) 
Arrgghhyy!
Here are mine:
chest across nips 31 (WARNING: this is what happens after nursing two kids for too long!)
chest under nips 29 (can’t really say “under boobs” because that would suggest I have boobs)
natural waist 26 (AFTER TWO KIDS AND TWO 40-LB WEIGHT GAINS AS A RESULT!)
across navel 27.5
across hip bones 33
across butt 34
Yes, building up the shoulders has made a huge difference in looking more balanced.
Oh snap! Are we calling out measurements. I’ll have to join in later tonight. Let’s see if my itty bitties can measure up (then we can check if my boobie pills are working!).
MIM, love it! so true girl.
I’m hyuge in comparison, haha!
Might as well join in

==> How’s that for a thick waist & some junk in the trunk? 
(The smallest my natural waist got when dieted down was 28’')
my measurements arent far off from yours BLUE! you have way smaller hips though…how tall are you?(out of curiosity)
you aint hyuge MIM. we can’t compare apples to oranges. different build=different measurements

my waist/belly went up significantly since oct. that will be down shortly. i do not want more than an inch or so of my butt. absolutely not.
I’m 5’9" and some change as well!
I love how we are just blabbing away on Bobbi’s thread…

“Natural” waist 28
Across navel 29
Across hip bones 32
Across butt 36
Now you see my concern re: thick waist. And I’m a wee 5’2!
I’ve always measured my chest right under my armpits. I guess I am doing it the man way. If I’m flexing its about the same as my nip measurement though. 
posting for the big gurls club:
across nips: 39
under boobs: 34
natural waist: 31
navel: 35
hips: 40 - kaboom.
butt perch: 41.5
husband says I should have taken these measurments a few months ago to compare - i’ve actually lost a few inches. What a sweety.
alright, I guess I should get more measurements, than just my belly button…I’ll take some in the morning…
Masch- you are a wee one aintcha?
Mascherano, I’d gladly trade some waist inches for your lovely midsection! I looooooove it. I’m working on that…
MIM, haha yeah I hope she doesn’t mind =D Bobbi, do you mind?
(unflexed)
Chest across nips 38
underboob 31
natural waist 24
across navel 27
hip bones 34
butt 38
Just under 5’5 and ~140 lbs. I have some of my stats from when I started taking them somewhere on this computer from late 2007 or early 2008. I should dig them out for comparison. I was something like 43ish-30-43ish–>loads and loads of ass :P.
How do you measure shoulders? I’d like to have a way so I can objectively tell if I’m growing because recent pictures look to me like I’ve lost some size there.

I didn’t take measurements, pictures or weigh myself when I was at my biggest and I kind of regretted that. I dd eventually take some but I’d already lost who knows how much by then. But the further away it becomes the less it actually matters. I kept some clothes from then that I can see the difference in however.
I don’t mind…haha
Deb - I can’t believe you have a 24" waist! That’s fn tiny!
And my shoulders are 43 or 44 - just go around the broadest part of your lateral delts with your arms down at your sides.
The numbers I remember are pretty much exactly like Masch’s but I haven’t checked in a few months.
Lately I am ze fatty.
If we get to measure with erect nipples, I want a do-over.
