'Curvy' women likely to live longer

Hmmm... if we all take TummiTrim and shave off 2-3" off our waists, we'd all automatically be in the 'No Risk' zone! hahahahahaha!!!
Notice how the 2nd website with the table showing the ranges lump men and women and age groups together? I kinda doubt its accuracy. I mean, you could have a good waist-hip ratio but a history of hypertension and diabetes and that should automatically put you in a higher risk group but the table doesn't address that.
Ah well, it's just another test for fun... no conclusive results there!

"tummi-trim took 3 inches off in 4 weeks!!"

Well, according to one of the websites, you measure your waist across your navel. PHEW... means it skips my fatty bulge right beneath it!Originally posted by tare:hey at least u got a waist! -
HAHAHAA strategic measurement
The real test would be the bulge test. Maybe using a calliper to pinch and measure the flab at the stomach.
Or use one of those gradient measurement things usually for roads, to measure how high my stomach rises from under the bust.Originally posted by Rhonda:Well, according to one of the websites, you measure your waist across your navel. PHEW... means it skips my fatty bulge right beneath it! -

I have gone through that infamous calliper pinch test. It was part of an assessment given free at my gym to new members. I had it done almost two years ago.
My results were ... MORBIDLY OBESE!
OK, do I look MORBIDLY OBESE to you guys??
-
It depends.
I don't look MORBIDLY OBESE if I suck my gut in.
Hahah! -

Luckily, they never use that calliper-pinch test on women's boobies... otherwise, ALL women above A cup would be overweight / obese / morbidly obese!!! hahahahahahahahaaaa!!!

God....I think I"m going to be Morbidly Obese tooOriginally posted by Rhonda:I have gone through that infamous calliper pinch test. It was part of an assessment given free at my gym to new members. I had it done almost two years ago.

Rhonda, we wear the same size of clothing
No you don't look Morbidly Obese and this is not a "because I'm the same size as you, that is why I'm in self-denial" statement. -
i dunno about obese..
but i'm morbid -

I believe they use "Morbidly Obese" to shock you into signing up.
It's a deliberately negative-sounding phrase. Not objective at all. At least a scale system ranging from fit to unhealthy would be more professional.

when you cannot lift your foot.. as in, you lose control of the lifting of your foot..
so that when you walk, your toes hit the ground first instead of the heel..
i may or may not have it.. it's just that the muscles and tendons that control the foot are always severely stressed when i walk for exercise... the muscles may fail later in life...
hope not -
