I used to use a Waist to Hip ratio calculator all the time. It is another valuable tool for weight loss. Waist to Height is also. I take my body measurements once a month. My numbers are not where I want them to be yet, but my Waist to Hip is now mid moderate health risk.
My waist to height ratio came out to .62 Take action. My waist to hip ratio came out to 1 High Risk for female. I have lost a lot of weight and inches in my waist and hips since starting my diet in January 2018. However, I still carry a belly that is clearly diabetic and still has a way to go. When looking up my last measurements to use for the charts (August 7, 2018) I noticed that my hip measurement and my waist measurement is exactly the same. I guess that makes me a SQUARE. Now.... back in my day (in the 1960's and 1970's) being a SQUARE was something you just didn't want to be (often you were made fun of if your were Square). So I guess that I will continue on this journey until I'm not a SQUARE anymore.
Anyway, I sincerely thank you for the info. It will help me make goals that I hope to achieve for better health.

This is my first challenge! Excited to see all the posts/ideas.
Goals:
1) drink at least 10 cups of water
2) take a daily multivitamin
3) 10,000 steps
4) slowly increase activity
Mindset: I want to lose 50 pounds total, but since every big goal needs smaller goals, I'm going to try to think of it as losing 5 pounds 10 times. So I'm going to think in 5 lb increments and my goal will be to get to my next benchmark goal each time.
SW: 190.3
Day/Weight/Comment
9/05 - 190.3 - well I just thought how yummy the baby carrots were that I just ate! On my way to adjusting my food thinking!
9/06 - 189.6 - did some reps with my hand weights yesterday and 45 min on elliptical. Slowly but surely...oh and also, I just ate homemade soup for dinner and I'm still hungry!!!
9/07 - 189.3 - about 30 min on the elliptical today - negatives - cheated with a few boneless wings...sigh; positives - good water intake, vitamins
9/08 - 188.9 - had lots of activity today - over 15,000 steps woohoo! Brought snacks with me, but treated myself for dinner to my favorite sorta cheat meal - sloppy joes with 90% lean ground beef, healthy life whole wheat buns, corn on the cob and baked beans; fair water intake - could have done better...
9/09 - 188.2 - did a 30 min circuit training workout this evening - I know I will feel it tomorrow! Still struggling to get all my water intake in...feeling hungry - workouts always do this to me...
9/10 - 188.2 (no change) - a little sore today from my circuit training workout yesterday, but not too bad because I started slow with a 30 min workout and modified most moves. Cut my grass for over an hour today and am going to try to do a longer workout tomorrow...
9/11 - 187.7 - yay!!! some progress! funny how seeing a few results can spur you on - worked out 60 min today, but I did eat back some of my exercise calories b/c I was sooooo hungry. Haven't figured out how to suppress post workout hunger even though I'm eating protein within the right window after.
9/12 - 187.2 - slowly but surely! - did 45 min of Leslie Sansone walking videos - didn't quite get my 10 cups of water...I have to figure out how to get more water intake earlier in the day

@deepwoodslady,
*My waist/height ratio (35.5) 36/ (5'7.5") 5'7" is .54 consider action
*My waist/hip ratio (35.5") 36 / (42.5") 43 is .84 moderate risk
Waist/hip measurement I'm striving for: 27/39
I still have work to do. Back in February my B/W/H measurements were all in the 40's. I was a CUBE. I know my waist measurement will be the last to return to normal. My stomach is where I carry my stress.3 -

R51 SW: 175.3 EW: 172.6 (-2.7)
9/05 - 172.6 Same as yesterday Heading off to the gym now. Hope everyone has a great day 
9/06 173.0 (+0.4) This "gain" is because I had to eat before weighing in (which I normally don't do). My boyfriend had to wake me up and literally feed me because my blood sugar was so low. Have to be super careful with my insulin dosages since I've lost so much weight. This is the first time this has happened
9/07 172.6 (-0.4) Iβm happy as long as there isnβt a huge gain this round. Iβve been blessed with two awesome rounds in a row, so Iβll be happy with whatever Had an amazing workout today, so Iβm hoping that it shows on the scale tomorrow ππ»
9/08 172.8 (+0.2) Ok, so it didn't show
I ate well under my calories and I never eat back exercise calories. This will turn soon, just have to be a bit patient and stop second guessing myself
9/09 172.6 (-0.2) Hahah, weight loss is weird. Yesterday was awesome. Saw some friends I hadn't seen in a long while and we had a great time. Stayed under my calorie goal, but could have done better on the carb intake.
9/10
9/11 172.1 (-0.5) Oh no, I forgot to report in yesterday π± My weight was 172.6 yesterday though. Just came home from the gym and my glutes are basically on fire. Cut back on the carb intake yesterday and itβs already making me lose weight.. Going to continue on a low/moderate carb intake, but itβs easy to slide out of it because carbs taste amazing π
9/12 171.7 (-0.4) There we go! Almost done with 170 Can't wait to see 160 on the scale. Taking a day off exercising today, but I'll track everything and stay under calories
9/13 171.3 (-0.4) Nice! Very motivating to see that the the scale goes down when I reel in a bit on the carbs again. Everything between 30-70g carbs is alright it seems. Iβm really getting to know my body in so many different ways now.

9/13 71kg, so close to being below, but it's not yet clear enough. It was 70.5 after my run. And I can also report a slight reduction in measurements, yay! I donfeelnlike i'm 'tighter' around the mid section.
I did go over my cals yesterday with a stupid late night cinnamon bun and didn't even make my step goal. But today started with a run, I'm behind my running goal for the month so need to get a move on.
Work drama: No update yet, but tension is running high as the team director resignation is expected to be made public. (I only knew through reliable informants who prefer to stay anonymous). Aside from that, my manager asked me to stay on for another two weeks and cover for my assistant while she's on holiday. I'll see what happens today before deciding.8 -

05/09 Had a pretty active day yesterday, good logging too (tiny bit over - cardio hunger kills me everytime lol). Non-scale goal challenges going well so far this month. Today's aim is to finish at or under my calorie goal and get a good upper body workout in this evening before heading out on the water for an evening row.
06/09 Stayed under calorie goal yesterday, got a lot of exercise in (walked 7km, rowed a couple of km, upper body strength workout), macro split was perfect - for once - until I realised I didn't have as much cereal at home as I thought
10/09 Just back yesterday afternoon from taking part in The Great River Race in London (22 miles rowing from Millwall to Richmond) have some serious DOMS in shoulders and back so expect to be up a bit on the scale the next couple of days, was also carb-loading pre-race.
11/09 Body is feeling a little more alive now, trendweight has been creeping up a bit the last few weeks, don't think my replacement tracker is as accurate as my old one was so switching to TDEE method for a while with a fixed intake of around 2100 cals per day, which should more than allow for my normal walking/strength training over the week, any calories from rowing/running I'll just use as a buffer/bank for weekends. Aim for today is to stay hydrated and stick to planned meals/snacks.
12/09 And the water weight is off, I am up around 1.2lbs from last week which I think is down to mostly lazy logging and partly down to the tracker being a bit inflated on calories, so hopefully switching to TDEE for a while should resolve that (if I stick to it) Didn't quite stick to my meal plan yesterday, my bosses wife brought me in some Ferrero Rocher for sorting some parcels out for her and I did a bit of emotional eating after having a stressful afternoon. Anyway can't do anything about it now so logged it and moved on and did manage to stay properly hydrated. Today's goals are the same, I've pre-logged the next couple of days, I am trying to reduce the amount of snack stuff I have in the house (counter-productively I have been eating it to reduce it plan is not to buy anymore and get serious with my meal planning sheets again)
13/09 Nice to see more water weight off again this morning, I made sure all of the chocolate is gone last night (which took me a little over my calories) now just to not keep any in the house, I am not cutting it out by any means, but adding it to the list of things to only indulge in when out and about so I can't mindlessly eat it at home out of boredom or stress. I do the same with cheese and bread, if I have those in I have to freeze them to stop myself gorging on them.
Tweaked my macros yesterday to accommodate my new calorie goal, so now at 25P/35F/40C aiming for min 120g and 80g Fat Protein average per day across the week, with carbs making up the rest. Goal for today is to get a full body strength training session in this evening, stay hydrated & remember to go for lunch/take my vitamins (was so busy yesterday almost missed lunch break without realising)10 -

Day/Weight/Comment
9/05: 68.6 - That random fluctuation has come back down to normal levels
9/06: 68.4 - Keep dropping down. MFP has just told me that I've lost over 50% of my goal. That's pretty big to me. Been having a really tough time with the puppy the last few days, feeling tired, feeling hungry, feeling lazy. Had a glass of wine last night (really not very good wine, won't be buying that one again) but still kept within my range (all be it right at the top of it). Did a lot more standing and walking and heavy lifting yesterday than normal, so probably fine.
9/07: 68.0 - I do not deserve that. Yesterday wasn't a good day at all. Over all goals. Free breakfast at work (sausages sandwiches) so ate too much then. Saved some for lunch and so had that in addition to my actual lunch. Then I ate dinner even though I wasn't at all hungry. And had some wine. Sigh. Not good for the calories, but I'll get back on it today. The drop on the scales is definitely not fair on myself
9/08: 68.4 - Didn't get out the house, but the puppy had loads of energy yesterday so lots of running around in the garden and plenty of wandering about. Ate massively over my goals. My partner turned up with one of those cook yourself takeaway boxes, which did make logging the calories easy. But also made me realise quite how calorific those are. Half a box (one portion) was over my daily calorie allowance! However, I had a smaller naan and less rice and didn't eat all of the food there, so I've almost certainly over logged for it. Still.
9/09: 68.3 - Good day yesterday. Very busy with Judo, petting dogs and seeing family. Ate at my parents so wasn't in control of my meals. However, made a contentious effort to not overeat when given the option and had a small slices of cake instead of a large slices. And thanks to all that exercise I've ended up in the green anyway.
9/10: 67.8 - Lazy, lazy day. Spent most of it on the sofa trying to motivate myself to do something. And the rest running around after the puppy. Ate well though. Actually kept under my calorie goal, something that was slightly surprising to me as I didn't leave myself very much after breakfast and lunch. Luckily dinner turned out to be lower in calories than I thought it would be, and I even sneaked in a mini milk to my goals. Also: What? 67.x! This soon? I'm not complaining at all, but suddenly I seem to be finding this much easier. Definitely surprising considering I'm not continuously training as much as I used to.
9/11: 68.3 - So I was all ready to go on about how I completely blew my goal yesterday because I was just so darn hungry and I ate all the things. And then I actually go about inputting all my data and...well actually I'm under maintenance. So it's a win. And I realised that I ate basically no carbs in the evening, which might explaining why I was quite so hungry and why my calories weren't as bad as I thought they would be. It was because I didn't actually eat very many calories (shocking that!). Also doesn't help that shark week has just begun and I think I'm coming down with some sort of illness.
9/12: 68.5 - Mentally a crappy day yesterday, I won't be sharing, but I emotionally ate and ate and ate. Worked out a little over maintenance, not including the glass of wine. I would vow to do better today, but honestly I'm feeling equally as bad today, so if I manage maintenance today I think I will be happy.
9/13: 68.4 - I'm definitely seeing the difference having good food in the house makes. Right now, we don't have anything in the house, and boy oh boy does it make me make poor decisions. Aside from meaning I go out and eat from the canteen at lunch, dinner gets a super blank look, and something easy and not very tasty. The good news is that tomorrow I will be going out to do a big shop, so finally I can actually have some vegetables and fruit. In the mean time, I'm finding it very hard to stick to the goal. Over goals again yesterday worked out as about maintenance.

9/09 - 247.6 βcheat mealβ last night but stayed within total allowed daily calories so not sure that was right... itβs only week one canβt mess this up yet Iβm more aware of my eating and making better choices so thatβs good right?!

Day/Weight/Comment
9/05 - 154 - The scale actually flashed at 154.5, then it went to 153.5 three times, so I went with an average. I realized after I posted yesterday that I started this challenge 120 days ago. I've lost 20 pounds since starting this challenge and received a lot of good advice from reading comments. I don't know if I would have stuck with this weight loss without all the support and empathy from this group. Thank you to all!
9/06 - 152.5 - Well, there's a little whoosh!
9/07 - 152.5 - I'm really surprised I didn't have a little bounce back. I'll take it.
9/08 - 153.5 - I had a late and salty dinner last night and then I woke up very early. We also ended up eating at a burger place tonight due to some crazy errands. I've stayed within weight loss calories, but I'm expecting another bump up tomorrow.
9/09 - 152 - We started remodeling our bathroom, so I had to move my scale to a different room. I think I'll keep it there! I'm not sure how accurate this is, but it's OK with me.
9/10 - 153 - This looks a little more realistic based on the salt I ate this weekend. Back to work and back to drinking lots of water.
9/11 - 153 - I drank a lot of water yesterday, then my daughter and her boyfriend stopped by after their trip to Iceland. They brought us some Icelandic liquors that we had to try. Hopefully, it will be out of my system by tomorrow's weigh in. No regrets though, we had a fun evening!
9/12 - 152.5 - Slowly going back down. NSV - A pair of pants I bought in May due to my then 15 lb. weight loss are now too big. It's a good thing I bought them really cheap!
9/13 - 152.5 - I'm OK with this number, in fact if I can finish the round tomorrow at this weight, I'll be happy.

OK - after getting back off my holidays towards the end of round 49 and round 50 being a write off as ended up going away, the kids are now back at school, work hours have returned to normal and I now have an uninterrupted 10 days
So back on a proper eating plan, exercise planned in so should be a good 10 days and target this round is to get back under 140lb.
9/05 - 141.50lb - didn't want to see over 140 again but hey ho - not a surprise given August! Good food day planned today so should be off to a good start......
9/06 - 141.00lb - 0.50lb down which is a good start. Was pleasantly surprised this morning as "felt" heavy (if that makes sense??!!) but getting back into drinking plenty of water so may be that ? Today set up to be a good food day with a gym session tonight
9/07 - DNW
9/08 - DNW
9/09 - DNW
9/10 - 142.50lb - weekends - love them but hate them! Didn't weigh over the weekend as got treated to a cuppa in bed in the morning. Rest of the week to re-focus - food planned for today, 12 mile bike ride planned for this evening so hoping all good tomorrow
9/11 - 140.10lb down 2.40lb of weekend whoosh!! Ended up cycling 17 miles last night too and was so good to get out. Food all prepped for the day and gym session tonight so should be a good day - and on target to get back under 140 by the round end. Hope you all have a good one too
9/12 - 140.50lb up 0.40lb but OK with this as full no gym session last night and TOM imminent (or at least I think it is - heading towards 50 I'm never quite so sure these days ). so Ok with this gain as hoping temporary..
9/13 - 141.50lb up another 1.0lb - not so happy with this as no reason for it based on food yesterday so still assuming TOM. Food prepped for the day, gym tonight - will keep on track and wait this one out ........

ROUND - 52
9/5 = 190.0 Really need to kick this up a notch. Hovering around the 190 mark just isn't cutting it.
9/6 = 189.6 Off to a good start. Will need to be very diligent in order to have a loss on Tuesday.
9/7 = 190.0
9/8 = N / A
9/9 = N / A
9/10 = 190.2
9/11 = 191.8
9/12 = 191.2
9/13 = 191.2
9/14
My official weekly weigh in, is Tuesday evening @ TOPS, so my ticker tape will reflect that loss.
My daily weight is on my home scale, so I can monitor how my week is going.
My ultimate goal is 175lbs, so any loss is a good loss.

9/05 -- 160.8 slowly coming on down. I don't usually eat after 7 but last night was a super late dinner at 11. I got in 150 min of exercise, which means I was up till 1 30 π₯π₯π₯ and drank 1.5 liters of water. Hope everyone else has a good hump day!!
9/06-- 160.2 worked out for 90 min yesterday, drank 1.5 liters and stayed under my calories. I usually stop eating after 7 (8 the latest) but last night I had a craving for munchies, so ended up having a couple of mini crispys and a mini chocolate bar at 8:30. Buuuuuuut the NSV is I only ate one mini chocolate and stuck to 24 crispys (they are the rice cake kind) where before I would have over indulged on both until there was nothing left.
9/07--160.2 worked out for an hour, drank 1.5 liters and ate under my calories. I think I have officially hit my plateau. This week I haven't been the best with getting breakfast in. I have been so motivated and consumed with exercising that I have missed breakfast and lunch all week and only have been eating dinner. I have tried planning out my meals for the week to stop this but that didn't work out too good. I already know OMAD doesn't work for me and on top of it, after dinner I tend to get the munchies if I don't eat all day. Like the night before I ate some chips and chocolate and last night I ate four turtles after dinner. Of course it was all still in moderation and I didn't go over but I don't like when I get mindless cravings. I have no problem with having a treat here and there but having junk be my go to when I'm still hungry isn't ideal. So this morning after weighing in, I ate. I will see how this goes.
9/08-- 159.6 WHAT WHAT WHAT??? yesterday I caved and ended up eating a crazy amount of chocolate, although I still stayed under my calories, it obviously wasn't the healthiest day. I did exercise, even if it wasn't as much as usual and I walked. I drank 1 liter of water. It is so weird that I usually work out like crazy, eat well and get the majority of my water in but ended up plateauing for a little over a week, then the day I didn't do as well and I ended up pushing under the mark. I am a little sceptical, I will wait to see if this doesn't change by tomorrow before I get too excited. But I am hoping this is it.... me in the 50s πππ I am going to watch closely though, third day eating chocolate.... don't want this to turn into a thing
9/09-- 159.4 so I guess I have settled here ππ yesterday was my MILs bday but I made sure to drink water and order the healthier options, a big NSV for me. I used to think going out meant I didn't have to stick to my healthy eating and was a good time for a break but it went great . Ate within my calories, drank 2 liters of water and took extra long walks. So far this weekend has been going great.
9/10 --157.6 woooooosh!! I couldn't believe it, had to check three times and this number kept coming up. ππππ woot!! I am back to the weight I was last January!!! I remember being dissapoined that I had gained so much weight over the holidays (and although I recommited to a weight loss journey, I gave up early and just continued to gain) but I couldn't be more thrilled to see it now!!! This is so emotionally exciting!! Yesterday I went for my first light jog in 10 years and although I didn't expect much from it, I did better then I thought. I completed two sets of 15 minutes (with a minute of fast walking after every five minutes) and although this doesn't seem like a lot to those people who jog daily, this is a big victory for me. It goes to show you really don't know what your body is capable of until you test it and it's limits. I ate great and drank 2 liters of water. Thanks to everyone in this group, with all the supportive (and sometimes competitive) people I not only stuck to it but achieved way more physically then I have in years. Thank you everyone for all your day to day stories, without them I would have felt discouraged with every gain and plateau but with them I haven't felt alone. You guys have really helped me learn a lot!!! Thank you.
9/11--157.8 feeling bloated today so not concerned about the slight gain. Stayed under calories and drank 1 liter of water. Besides dancing for a bit I decided to have a rest day. Back at it today, already had a mini jog and walk. Hope everyone has a great day
9/12 --158.4 I exercised a good amount yesterday....but I also ate a lot. I don't remember being as hungry as I was yesterday in a long while. I pretty much ate all my exercise calories. Drank 1.5 liters of water. I have to rethink my exercise routine though, my mom decided she needed to be more active but because I am way more active then she is, I have needed to dial it back....a lot. So now I'm figuring out how to do my routine and help her with hers. It's weird. I haven't done my routine since Friday (still have been exercising but not at my usual intensity) and I'm starting to get concerned. I feel more bloated and less toned, even though I think it's crazy for me to assume it would effect me in such a short amount of time...I can't help feeling slightly anxious.
9/13 -- 157.8 exercising went great yesterday managed two jogs, strength training and exercise with my mom. I am going away for the weekend to a friend's house, we are dog/house sitting and I will be bringing everything with me. In the past I have either not been as hungry because I am in a new place and my body is weird like that or I overeat because I am in a new place and my body is weird like that.. lol she said she has a scale there so I don't know how my weight will look for the next couple of days, hopefully not too different. She lives in a condo and her condo has a gym, pool and a play room so I am hoping I can get into the gym to keep up with this morning jog and maybe even go to the pool, water exercise is always fun. I drank 1.5 liters of water and ate well within my calories. Hopefully I can push a little more before the end of the round but I already know the 50s are going to be a slow trudge...i hope everyone has a great final day of round 52.

9/07 178.6 Meals were all provided at work yesterday - full day of all meetings. So happy that this is not higher. Went for a lovely long walk with my son in the evening which was a great antidote to a day of sitting.
9/08 179.4 don't know why its up - stayed under cals yesterday. lots of stress at home today so i will have to work hard on not eating my feelings away. Did a boxing workout this morning hoping that will help.
9/09 180 I know it is just a matter of nature needing to take its course, but I still don't like it.
9/10 179.6 Feeling very sluggish. The weather has turned cold and grey, rain forecast all day - gonna have to find inspiration somewhere else today.
9/11 180.4 That's what you get when you end the day with a handful of jelly beans and a handful of salt and vinegar potato chips.
9/12 179.0 ? unexpected, but not gonna complain.

I know that seems pretty good (and it IS! I was 152 when I started MFP) but my low weight has been 120, and I'm determined to get there again...it felt great! In fact, my UG is 115... with muscles (!!)
OK -- I will see how far I can get this round! I think this Just Give Me 10 Days is very motivating! Eat your greens everyone....
9/5/18 -- 128
9/6/18 -- 128 -- no change -- but I'm doing power yoga tonight, and I WILL sweat!
9/7/18 -- ?? Celebrating 32nd wedding anniversary -- didn't even weigh in! LOL!!!
9/8/18 -- 127.6 FOR TRUTH! Even had Creme Brulee and beautiful Cabernet from Canadian winery!
9/9/18 -- 126.4 this morning! It was the silent disco my husband and I went to last night (NOT KIDDING! It was at a music festival -- many stages -- and great bands -- AND we got to dance with the college kiddos in a silent disco....my new love!! ) See y'all tomorrow!
9/10 -- weighed in at 127.0 this a.m. Not surprised -- football parties and snacking/beer did me in a little --but I did go to power yoga class which is why it's just a little up -- I'll take it. Will be back to 126 tomorrow. Busy day ahead and no football parties (or Guinness!)
9/11 -- 126.4 I lied. Went out to hear a friend's band (they were GREAT!) and had a Guinness (a very large Guinness, too! )....oh well -- still down today. Power yoga tonight ....I'm going to make it to 125 this round!
9/12 - no change!
9/13 -- No change AGAIN -- and I thought this would be easy -- HA! BTW - I could spend all day reading these posts! You guys are amazing! One more day to lose that .5 and get the 125....11 -
Plan for the next 10 days:
*write daily food plan the evening before
*drink 64+ oz water daily
*limit alcohol to 2x per week
Goal this round: <184 (I'm thinking some of this starting number is due to just starting back at the gym, so the goal doesn't seem too excessive for 10 days.)
Day/Weight/Comment
9/05 187.5 food is planned for today, almost half way through my water. feeling down on myself this morning due to the high scale number but gotta embrace reality, own it, and change it.
9/06 186.0 still feeling heavy but heading in the right direction. Stuck to my plan yesterday, drank all my water too. 20 min on the elliptical this morning, 1/2 way through my water so far and planning on a date night tonight so eating a very light breakfast and lunch today.
9/07 185.0 I like this number better! sticking to my plan going into the weekend. Weekends are always tough in terms of wanting to "let loose" or "reward myself" but I have to remind myself that I'm not a puppy and I don't need food treats for good behavior. The plan is to be a happier me, and short term "rewards" in the form of food and booze don't help me meet my goals in the long term. I'll be planning to have a couple of cocktails tomorrow night in keeping with my 2 evenings per week goal.
9/08 no data
9/09 186.6 weekend water weight. we went out for dinner and I ordered well but it was super salty. also lifted earlier in the day.
9/10 186.6 need to drink more water today I guess. how can there be only 4 days left in this round? Plan for today. calorie drop, gym this afternoon with intervals, large and vegetable dinner lol
9/11 184.8 getting close to my goal for this round. Tonight is date night with my sweetie and we are getting big greasy burgers, so I'm eating veggies all day today. Yoga this morning felt good.
9/12 185.0 pretty sure I would have seen a decent loss but for my salty dinner last night. On plan today.. 2 more days to make it! water water water
9/13 184.2 looks good, had a glass of vino last night but on track other than that. Hurricane prepping today, doing all the laundry and a bit of grocery shopping to get us through the next few days.
