Thigh to waist percentage...

[Sambu]

------------

Editted from current measurement:

Thigh = 22" 23"
Waist = 34"
T2W% = 67.6%

Same here, after 4 months of regular riding, update in a month lol

hmmm, methinks some folks may be using trouser size rather than true waist measurment here I believe that taking a line about 1/2 an inch below the belly button may give some different results.

Are you suggesting I can't measure! You're only saying that because you're jealous of my 10" c**k! (you measure from the balls, right?).

 

[numbnuts]

are you all telling the truth or am I a fat b.... with a waist of 35

 

[Aperitif]

I'm a 36" MacB
And a 25" thigh.
I'll be back later when I can work out a percentage of circular to wobble ratio...

I think it's the length of the thigh that's important, not the girth.

However these alternate methods do require honesty around the measuring of ones waist There is a tendency, among ageing gentlemen, to class their waist size by whatever trousers/jeans they can shoehorn under their gut The true measure could be as much as 10 inches more

How tight can you draw the tape across the tum and how loose can you hold the tape around the thigh?

nice try porky, not as shameless as Bollo, but getting there!

Numbnuts, tis the truth mate, it also makes logical sense. Measuring around the hip area will have the limitation of hip bones. It's got to be right round the middle, taking into account the love handles as well

You can tell the young guys on here, measuring nearer the hips gives them a bigger number than near the belly button

I currently get 48"....beat that Bollo

I'm not taking part in this now - this true waist measurement thing is going to take me a while to get over - I can't believe these 32" shorts I'm wearing don't mean I'm a 32".

And you called me porky, sniff...

Looks like I may have been wrong with the 'porky' jibe, unless you're one of these guys that can wear skinny jeans but has about a foot of gut protruding above them

Trust me, I was feeling disconsolate about being back to 40" trousers, measuring my real waist has plummeted me into abject misery Still I've just eaten to ham and chicken pastry slices, so I feel a bit better, pizza tonight should see me fully recovered

Well I did that calculation and the figure is so low I'm surprised I manage to turn the cranks at all!

Porky's probably not wrong, like so many chaps of a certain age shedding a few pounds wouldn't be a bad thing. The 32" shorts I mentioned are more than likely designed to flatter the fatter into thinking they're doing better than they are. Like you I shall cheer myself up with an extra helping - enchiladas tonight and I shall swill them down proper with a beer*

After that cruel attack on my brittle self-esteem I'm back to self-harming, you bad, bad man. And this time it's real and not just because I want to log on to web sites full of teenage girls like the judge said.

The suspect measurement is the 26" for the thighs. It's more that my fat arse segues into my knees.

 

[simon_adams_uk]

W=32
T=26
W:T=81%

Good job I'm not using figures from this time last year
