The Average American Woman

[Creekimp13 5,840]

I just read this:

The average American woman over age 20 weighs 168.5 pounds and stands at just above 5 feet 3 inches (about 64 inches) tall.

And the average waist circumference? That’s at just over 38 inches.

38 inches, does that mean the average American Woman is obese. Did anyone work out her BMI? Just curious.[emoji3]

Looked it up, pre-obese and BMI 29+to 30 [emoji22]

Isn't the trouble with an average is that there are an equal number are above that and an equal number below that? 38" waist seems large as an average.

That would make her. a. 48-38-48, a hunka chunka to me. I can relate because I am at "Gawd she is Big "stage myself, hoping to be "Hello mama, you sweet thing" Bring yourself over here" someday soon[emoji444][emoji38]

But that's only if she's an hourglass type. Apples like me have almost the same measurement for all three, which really raises the average waist size :-(

But you're still cute and with that shape cuddly and you still rock the world. It takes all kinds but we all can be healthier and feel fine. Just be YOU, you wouldn't be here if you didn't fulfill a need in the world. There are days I feel my only purpose is to serve as a bad example. But I usually bounce back and things are fine again.[emoji106][emoji86][emoji87][emoji85]
