From Glamour magazine: how average are you?
Normal by the numbers:
Bra Size: 36 C
44 %: young women who wear a size 12 dress size or larger
8: average shoe size
36.5: average woman's waist, in inches
57 %: women who are at least somewhat satisfied with their body weight and shape
156.5: weight in pounds of women in her 20's (163 for women in her 30's)
64: average height in inches (or 5'4")
10%: women consider themselves apple shaped
18%: women consider themselves ruler shaped
24%: women consider themselves pear shaped
48%: women consider themselves hour-glassed

Re: From Glamour magazine: how average are you?
I am not so normal (though I didn't need Glamour to tell me that  )
I also find it EXTREMELY hard to believe that the majority of women are actually hour glassed shaped when the average waist size is 36.5 inches.
that would make the average clothing size of a women MUCH bigger than a 12.

Re: From Glamour magazine: how average are you?
The only thing average about me (according to this post, that is  ) is my height!
That really puts it in perspective, now doesn't it?

Wow- I'm pretty average. But that's with my unwanted baby weight.

Re: From Glamour magazine: how average are you?
I am below normal in all the measurements except shoe size. Ever since having my kids, my feet are huge, I am 9-9.5! 
I think it's sad that only 57% are happy with their body.

Re: From Glamour magazine: how average are you?
- Bra size- not the average (but pretty close)
- average dress size
- larger than average shoes size (I HATE my feel)
- smaller than average waist measurement
- not satisfied with my weight/shape
- above average weight
- slightly above average height
- I would consider myself average- broad shoulders and wide hips- smaller waist (although I would also think slightly pear cause of my fat thighs...lol)

Re: From Glamour magazine: how average are you?
Bra Size: 36 C - nope
size 12 dress size or larger - only now that i am PG
8: average shoe size - i am close, i am a size 8 1/2
36.5: average woman's waist, in inches - normally i think i am less than this but i don't recall ever actually measuring my waist
57 %: women who are at least somewhat satisfied with their body weight and shape - before i was PG i was pretty satisfied with my size and shape
156.5: weight in pounds of women in her 20's - this really surprizes me - i guess i am not "average"
64: average height in inches (or 5'4") - right on
48%: women consider themselves hour-glassed - i consider myself to be hourglass shaped (normally) but i have no idea of i am wrong or not, b/c i don't know what the typical ratio is.

36.5: average woman's waist, in inches

163: weight in pounds of women in her 30's
Me: over that, but under 190.
64: average height in inches (or 5'4")
Me: 5'7"
I do consider myself hourglassed shaped with a some extra badaunkadunkdunk in the trunk My waist is smaller than my hips & bust and my hip measurement is larger than my bust. Guess I am a "bottom heavy" hourglass, which makes finding jeans/pants a beeyoch.

I agree.
many people wrongly guess their shape as hourglass, especially busty women.
to be hourglass, your bust/waist/hip measurements must be somewhere around 10 inches apart (36-26-36 being the traditional "model") but there are variations.
there are also "bottom heavy" hourglasses where there may be a slighly larger hip measurement.
the main component though is how and where you store fat.
hourglass store fat fairly proportionally over their body, often weight more than they look, and tend to gain weight LASTLY in their waste
anyone want to guess what shape I am? (right now my meaurements are 40-30-41) and I gain weight in the exact hourglass pattern. (also see avatar shot )
ETA: ain't nothing wrong with appples though...it's a nice piece of pie!

Re: From Glamour magazine: how average are you?
I'm really close to average on everything. Just a little above or a little below.
Unfortunately the things I'd like to be above average in I'm smaller than average and vice versa!!
