So I am nearing the healthy weight range


.
I took my waist measurement recently and it is way, way higher than the recommended width
I am an apple shape, so I assume this will be harder to achieve than if I carried my fat on my legs and hips. I am estimating I would need to be at the very bottom of the HWR to achieve a healthy waist circumference.
Has anyone else achieved a less than 80cm waist circumference and if so, what was your BMI when you achieved this and what is your body shape?

Men Over 94 cm (about 37 inches)
