    Are you overweight part II?

    Waist To Height Ratio Calculator

    Waist to height is supposed to be a better indicator of overall health than BMI.

    You'll need a tape measure for this one.

    What I'm not clear on is whether you measure whilst pulling it all in or letting it all hang out. (2" difference in my case )

    Poll to follow...

    Edit: I take no responsibility for the overlapping ranges - make your own decision if you're on the border.
    I also take no responsibility for the subjective measure of attractiveness!

        Bugger - the ranges are gender specific. Ignore the numbers (if a mod is feeling kind they could edit them out for me ) and go with the descriptions.

            Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

            No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

              Can I point out a flaw in the poll.

              If you are larger than highly obese, how does AndyW's mum or anyone else have large enough arms to give you a cuddle. Is she the poster formerly knows as Mr Tickle....
