Waist measurement

[BCs 1000 364]

So I am nearing the healthy weight range .

I took my waist measurement recently and it is way, way higher than the recommended width

I am an apple shape, so I assume this will be harder to achieve than if I carried my fat on my legs and hips. I am estimating I would need to be at the very bottom of the HWR to achieve a healthy waist circumference.

Has anyone else achieved a less than 80cm waist circumference and if so, what was your BMI when you achieved this and what is your body shape?

Your health is at risk if your waist size is

Men Over 94 cm (about 37 inches)

Women Over 80 cm (about 31.5 inches)

These guidelines are based on World Health Organization and National Health and Medical Research Council recommendations.

Don't forget that with significant weight loss comes extra skin. After losing > 100 lbs, some of your waist circumference isn't fat, it's extra skin. Extra skin isn't a health risk!

True, I hadn't factored that in. Probably 70 of the 110lbs came off my tummy so there is lots of spare skin.
