Risk Death Raise Handles Love

SO they are saying that I need to have a waistline under 32 inches? And they say women need to have a waist line under 25 inches. This just goes to show you that they want a bunch of skinny people to rule. I have not had a 32 inch waist since I was in Junior high. Granted I am 38 inch right now but I am big boned and even when I weighed under 200 lbs with less than 5% body fat my waist was 34. I know some very healthy ladies who have a waist of around 28 inches. I believe they are not over weight at all. I think further study is needed on those of us men under 47 inches and women under 39 inches and how healthy they are.

Keeping this study at two extremes does not help us who are in the middle much.
