definitely not lean, but probably not fat either. everyone caries weight differently, but I'd say thats still in the healthy range.

Honestly I'm 6'3 if it makes a difference but my waist in this pic was around 34 inches. http://bodyspace.bodybuilding.com/im...xsPiT4940.jpeg
Pretty ****ing skinny at that point in time. I'm 25 pounds heavier and added maybe an inch to my waist but you can still see my abs so I am just under 36.
In my opinion a 36 inch waist is not "fat" unless you have a really small built frame.

If your going by jean size i'm a 34 and I consider myself. I would agree your waist in round you navel but wear your jeans there if you want to look like simon cowell.

I think it just depends on the person tbh...my bro is 6' and is big boned. When he came back from marine boot camp i could see his ribs and abs and he was a size 36" in pants size(i guess this is the hips more than waist)....that was just the size of his body. Nothing wrong with that or nothing u can do about that, i mean, u gonna shave your hip bones to fit into a 32 rofl?? From your pics its hard to tell. But i thought i was "big boned" back when i was a lard and now i realize that i have a rather very small frame. Could probably fit into a 29-30" pants if i loss a few more pounds. I'm 33" pants now.
Its like stupid wii system told me i was overweight...based on my height and weight...it all depends on your body dude.Nov 2008 - 270lb 39%BF

I believe its like genetics or something. I remember a discussion about this before, pics were posted of these bodybuilders. Guy was ripped but had big waist.

Just as BMI is a generalization as is waist size. I hope people are intelligent enough to know that general manner I am referencing doesn't mean I am saying a 5'6 male in size 44 jeans is in any way, shape or form healthy. Yet from experiences of my own I can go from a size 38 to a 34 when my weight differential may only be 10lbs. Yet that 10lbs can also not even effect my waist size at the same time. Even though my BMI changes because of the the weight differential(s) my body has experienced it doesn't mean I have lost or gained weight in my waist that would change my waist size. There are many areas of health we need to focus on - but so many focus on singular health attributes. We need to teach people a perfect BMI doesn't mean perfect body fat %'re, or a perfect BMI and Waist Size doesn't guarantee good cholesterol and or blood pressure. Health is much more than what meets the eye both figuritively and literally.
Health whether physical or mental is still a world full of such misunderstanding but more people then ever are to starting to give learning about it a shot. That is a beautiful thing.
