I was wondering, what does everyone have for WHR.
"Your health is not only affected by how much body fat you have, but also by where most of the fat is located on your body. People who tend to gain weight mostly in their hips and buttocks have roughly a pear body shape, while people who tend to gain weight mostly in the abdomen have more of an apple body shape.
If you have an apple shaped body rather than a pear shaped body, you are at increased risk for the health problems associated with obesity, such as diabetes, coronary heart disease and high blood pressure - that's something you inherited, and have had since birth - but you can take special care to keep your weight at a healthy level, eat nutritiously, exercise as appropriate, and maintain other healthy lifestyle habits."

Goes to show how strange BMI is, my ratio is 0.78 so perfectly fine but my BMI as you can see is through the roof.

and for it not to show in an evident, yucky manner yet for your BMI to be this high and your weight to make people's eyes pop out! Ro_Laren don't people get utterly shocked when they hear your initial weight? I haven't been brave enough to tell them yet -will one day when it's gone- but the few strangers that knew were speechless.
