OMG my DF did my measurements last night and I cried. I can't believe the measurements.

So to share my sorrow with you, here's some motivation from the Flora & Heart Foundation websites:

Waist Circumference

In terms of heart health, your waist circumference is thought to be an even better measure than your BMI - you just need to find out whether you're an apple or a pear!

If you carry excess weight around your middle, it's often referred to as 'apple-shaped', while if you carry that weight on your hips it's referred to as 'pear-shaped'. Studies have shown that apple-shaped people may face greater heart health risks than their 'pear-shaped' equivalents

You can find out which you are by measuring your waist size. Use the table below to see if you could benefit from making some healthy changes to your diet and lifestyle.


Male:
Alerting Zone: >94cm
Action Zone: >102cm

Female:
Alerting Zone: >80cm
Action Zone: >88cm


Let's just say I'm in the Alerting zone for Men and the Action zone for Women. And not far off the Action Zone for men
