Hi there. I'm doing Atkins but my Dad sent me protein power to read and it sure is interesting!

I tried to go through the measurement/weight goal exercise and was really surprised by my result. I always thought my waist was at the narrowest point (where it's about 29"). I used their 'measure at belly button' instructions and got a waist of 32"! So with that and hips of 37", my hip/waist ratio put me right on the border between apple and pear. I have a very slim upper body proportionate to my lower body and I'm a pretty classic pear, so this surprised me.

My body fat calculation came out at a whopping 32.3". I'm 5' 1.5" and weight about 133lbs. I'm pretty athletic and I wear a size 4 mostly, sometimes 2. So this was surprise#2....

Then I tried to calculate my ideal body weight and felt like it was too confusing to follow.

Anyone been there/done that and have some insights to offer? I'm willing to accept that I'm carrying more fat than I thought, just surprised!

Thanks PP peeps!
