[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 367025, member: 3907"] ML, sometimes the numbers DO lie. (See my post from a few weeks ago, My Doctor is Full of Hooey!) Although your waist-to-hip ratio is outside of the preferred range, it doesn't necessarily mean that you're obese. I think that a lot of those measurements are based on averages and do not take into account individual differences. I read somewhere recently that the BMI was originally developed to track large population samples, so applying it to individuals will give skewed results. I wonder if the same is true with the Waist-to-hip thing. Like you, I am slim-hipped, short-statured, and tend to carry weight around my middle. And I have been working hard to eat healthfully and work out in order to reconfigure my shape. I've been following a low-ish carb, low fat diet, and I've been running. And it's been working very well. Whatever you're doing, do for your health, not because the numbers tell you you're supposed to. I know you can do it! Trinity [/QUOTE]
