What's your waist to hip ratio?

It says mine is .74 (low risk). However before I lost weight it was more like .82 (moderate risk). Jeans fit a lot better these days, because in the past whatever fit my butt gave me a muffin top.

My mother in law is an extreme pear (.66). So is my mom. I believe Kate Moss was/is also. I wonder what the ideal ratio is?

.73, no idea what this means.

 It means you're hot!

Sweet!

mine was .73, which is low risk. However, the site seems to imply that women only come in two shapes, apple or pear. They completely forget women have a bust, which figures into shape and weight. You cannot really call a 39-29-39.5 inch figure a pear... Some women also have that slim boyish figure, while others like me are hourglasses, and yet others are boxy. I do not think their little calculator can be accurate for all body types with how limited their criteria are.

thank you. if audrey hepburn had a .7 then that makes .7 desirable as she had a lovely figure!

My waist to hip ratio is .7. My measurements are 34-28-40. I think I'm definitely a pear shape though! I've heard .7 is ideal which is interesting because girls in high school always bragged about being a size 2 and I wore a size 8. I used to get made fun of for being to "heavy" from this girl who was a 2-4. But now that I look back those girls never had any curves and I think I was more attractive than the size 2-4 girl.
