Apparently my Nan had a miniscule waist as a young woman (b1909), my Mum has seen a photo of her. However, throughout my life Nan was as wide as she was tall (about 5ft). Slight exaggeration but you get my drift! I was a skinny child, put on weight as a student (we seem to live on starchy carbs as they were cheap and not much else) but when I met my OH I started to cycle and have remained more or less the same ever since. Its an excellent way of keeping fit, but of course it can be hard work and a lot of the time can't be faced/doesn't fit in to one's timetable. My SIL has taken up running after cycling all her life, she says it takes less time to achieve similar results, both weightwise and the feelgood factor.
