I need to lose 25 lb and 8 in off my waist. My waist size right now makes me very likely to have diseases and I need it to get to 70% or less of my hip size. My hips are 37 in, so my waist need to be24 in. I just multiply 0.7 by my hip size to get the ideal waist size. Also, my BMI is towards the high end of the normal range. Want to get it to lower end of normal range. I am almost overweight. I weigh 128 lb and 5 ft 1 1/2 in.
