Waist to Hip Ratio

[dotsamantha]

I can't seem to gete my waist to hip ratio within the "healthy" range.

After losing weight and inches and measuring, here's where I've progressed

March
waist 39
hips 42.5
weight 186
WHR .92

June
waist 32
hips 39
weight 156
WHR .82

July
waist 32
hips 39
weight 148.6
WHR .82

August
waist 30.5
hips 38
weight 142.6
WHR .8

So I'm losing and it's wonderful, but I guess I've always been an "apple" shape and I can't seem to get my waist to be significantly smaller than my hips.

Any suggestions, stories, etc?

My bodyfat percentage is also still pretty high according to the measurements. My bmi has dropped significantly, from 32.9 to 25.22, but the percentage of fat has gone form 42.28 to 32.66. It's a great progression, but i'm pretty close to my healthy weight range and I would think that it should be lower. Maybe I should get the hydrostatic measurement done.

Re: Waist to Hip Ratio

go for the hydrostatic testing. you will be amazed at how much you can change your body fat % while the sclae numbers don't move much. I added 7 pounds of muscle mass while shedding over 11 pounds of body fat but only got a 3 pound lose over 6 months time when I added the barbells
