I'd be interested in hearing how that works out for different peeps as well.

For me...I am 5'4 female and as the article suggests, should be less than 32" waist, but I'm about at the weight I'd like to be at and my waist is still about 35". Probably more than it should be (and could probably reduce it with some exercise), but it is what it is and I'm not at all worried that I will have probs with heart disease or diabetes.

We are ALL different and unique and that is the problem with the BMI method as well as this method....and others. They just don't take into account the fact that as individual humans we won't all fit into a nice, tidy box.
