I think waist:hip ratio is more closely aligned with body type than weight. It most definitely is for me.

But body type is genetic. So, cardiovascular issues are caused, in part, by genetics, which we already knew. So, everyone, choose the right parents.

if you don't die from cardiovascular issues, you'll die from cancer. a quick heart attack and death sounds better to me than cancer.

Congratulations. I've gotten down to 25.3 from 27.5 in that time. I didn't think anyone would notice, but they did.
