A member asked:

My waist size is about 48 inches across my tummy. is this bad?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends on: your height and weight, but 48 inches is pretty large. You can calculate your BMI by searching for it on line. If calculated BMI is high, you should seek medical attention for weight loss.
