[QUOTE="LittleGreyCat, post: 2074502, member: 6467"] I think that you might set a waist measurement goal as well as a BMI goal. At the moment (as well as for a long time) I want to get my weight down to 11 stone 7 lbs and my waist measurement down to 32". At the moment I weigh 11 stone 12 lbs and my waist measurement seems to be varying between 34" and 35". IMHO a waist measurement significantly lower than half your height (I am 72" tall so 36" is my maximum safe level) is more significant than a specific BMI. As already noted you could be muscle bound or have matchstick limbs at the same overall weight. The difference being the size of your belly. The name of the game is to get rid of visceral fat which clogs up your vital organs, especially your liver and pancreas. [/QUOTE]
