Waist Neck Circumference Ratio

My attainable goal was a 27" waist but I guess I was going much too easy on myself because my accurate waist size in accordance to my neck circumference should be 25"....ugh, that is basically 5kg more that needs to be gone, oh my!

It's always that last 5kg, right! Now I have a second 5kg to loose, double ugh.

Sooo, I saw a woman doing this in a shop once, she was an oriental woman, and I never, ever once thought of holding myself to it as an actual standard for my necessary proportionate waist size ......until now, because it just makes sense for obvious proportion reasons, like my pants staying on.

~ Next time you are out shopping for pants/skirts/shorts and don't want to try them on, try this convenient tip:

Take the waist of said item and wrap around your neck, if the folds do not meet, they will not fit, if they overlap they will be too big.

It has been proven, in non-obese [accurately] proportionate subjects, that the neck is an indicator of your own body's appropriate waist size.

example: if your neck circumference is 12.5" then your waist should be 25".

The waist, when measured, was 2x greater than the neck.

*accurate waist measurement on females is at the elbow crease, men measure waist at the belly button.
Conclusion:
As you can see, from the results, albeit very slight, we have gotten a
positive relationship between the circumference of neck and waist.

Recent studies now are focusing more on weight/waist measurement because it may be more accurate using waist circumference than BMI, it is significantly better at gauging cardio-metabolic risk.
