Men's waist size

28 is very small. You don't need to aim any lower unless you want to look sick.

 

Damn dude, I'm 6" and 190/195 looks about right on me... that's not what I'm at right now, mind, but I'd say you are doing more than absolutely fine weight wise. You certainly aren't obese or overweight!

 

Sometimes I can come across as brutal so know that I dont mean any harm, but really Alex, at some point you have to take control of your obsessions.

I dont mean to offend anyone who is alittle more bony, but I have yet to men a man, or women for that matter, that goes crazy for stick figures. Especially, in regards to waste size. We are humans we should have thighs that are bigger than our angles and an extra bit of matter on our behinds. Embrace it.

I'm 5-5, 150. waist 32-ish. Though my waist is actually smaller, but some of my ethnic genes gave me a little bit more "back" lol. Anyway, I'm not fat. Hell, in build, I am hardly average.(Borderline fun-sized these days ). Point in case, stop allowing yourself to believe that skinny will make you pretty. You dont need the scale to make yourself feel appealing.

I understand that you dont seem to come from the most forgiving family when it comes to appearance belief, but there comes a time when we have to take responsibility for our lifes and learn to love ourself, by ourselfs if we must.

 

Forgive my use of the following popular internet meme but,

Keep clam and love yourself.

That's all I have to say.

 

At least you can gain weight unlike me and some others who just can't seem to or find it difficult. Whenever I'm in town and see all the guys who have a normal build I get so jealous its not even funny. I always think 'why can't I look like that?!' Sure, there is a perception of slim=better in terms of the media but in reality it is a turn off when people are stick-thin. So just appreciate that you have the option to gain weight and to diet.

Anyways a 28 waist is already really slim and you should be happy with this size. I have a 26 waist and 30 hips. I find it disgusting, I look way too skinny and its not like I want to be this size, I have no choice!!! I can barely find any trousers that fit me. Count yourself lucky.

 

Not to hijack this thread, but as someone who is overweight and attempting to lose, weight, what is a normal waist size? I'm 5'10". Maybe a medium or large size frame?

 

^ depends on how overweight/how much weight you're losing.

I'm about the same height as you and I was probably in the realm of 270-280 lbs a couple of years ago, and my waist was probably... 40ish +/- 2, depending on the pair of pants (I never formally measured myself). I've since lost weight and am now sitting around 180lbs and my waist is 34ish +/- 2 (again, depending on the pair of pants).

I also haven't been properly working out or anything, just started eating better and more regularly.

EDIT: Come to think of it, I probably prefer my pants more loose than tight, so it's more likely to be on the lower end of those spectrums for me, but I digress.

 

I think a normal waist size is like 32-34?

 

I am like 19 and wear children's large size...
be happy you can wear an adult small or something

 

5'9 here with a 31 waist.

Can't believe you want to be thinner... I'm happy with my size, people always joke about how fat I am not. Whenever I say I want to go on a diet or eat healthy (out of health reasons, not because of my weight) they're like: but you're already so thin!

Don't mean to offend you, but I don't think it's healthy wanting to be thinner than you already are.

 

omg, stop being hard on your body. For one, it's easier for others to see change in you than you see yourself.

here's a question for yourself, if you think you might still be fat, do you think you are healthy and can cause problems later on?

 

That sounds right to me. A 26/28 waist is really small. I'm 6'3" and about 200lbs, though most people think I weigh 160-170lbs, and I've got a 31-32 inch waist. With a waist as small as yours there is no way in hell that you are fat and need to lose weight, gaining weight might actually be good for you. You seem to have a really bad case of body dysmorphia and it might be a good idea to see a counselor who specializes in eating disorders and the body dysmorlhia that goes along with it. I think it would really help you.

 

Don't aim any smaller its a mistake I have made and I am still living with the consequences. I'm 6'2" at 160 pounds and a size 28 waist. I have joint problems because of malnutrition. Please don't try to go any smaller. Learn from me and keep eating it feels much better.
