Just curious. This is where I really need to lose weight...not so much the waist, but the area around the belly button (I know there's no thing such as spot reduction).
What is everyone's measurements around the belly button and just below the belly button (right above pubic bone)? Also, what are your chest, waist and hip (widest part of butt) measurements?
40"! I just measured last night.
Oh, you probably don't want the pregnant girl's measurement :P
Diet, diet, diet for that area.
Just did these measurements yesterday...not exactly coke bottle but good enuff :)
chest:34
waist: 27
hip:36
I think around my belly button I'm about 33", versus 29" waist and a little over 37" hips. I also hate that area, but hopefully as I lose fat %, that area will also drop in size! I am looking forward to deflating my spare tire :-P
chest: 35
waist: 27
hips:38
waist 28"
chest 31.5"
hips 34"
I'm 28" around my belly button vs. 24.5" around the waist.
Bust: 31.5"
Hip: 33"
I think around my belly button is about 30" and my waist is about 28." My stomach is wide and flat and doesn't taper much. Chest = 36 and hips = 39 or 40 (haven't measured in a while).
oops i think i may be measuring wrong as i thought you measure your waist around your belly button...so where do i measure my waist?

At the smallest part, usually where there's a crease if you bend to the side.
I've always been taught that your true 'waist' is simply the narrowest part (generally just under your ribcage), but for those who are very overweight, if they have no waist, they can measure around their bellybutton. I always do both. I doubt I can lose a whole lot more around my waist since its getting bony lol, but I can DEFINITELY stand to lose a few inches around my bellybutton.

right now ...i'm a 33 at the waist 35.5 (36) at the belly button
and 41 at my hips ..
I want to be at 32 waist 34 belly button and 39 hips by this june (myu daughters birthday)
so I can wear a special day
possible ? I hope so
I am all legs and no torso...so my torso is all short and compact. The narrowest part of my stomach IS where my belly button is, which is 26.5".
Bust 34"
Waist 26.5"
Hips 36"
Kinda funny, since I'm not all that thin in the mid section...I would guess that if I could lose enough body fat to get under 20%, I would probably have a waist in the 24-25" area, which seems so tiny to me!
I'm not due to take measurements again until April 3, but here are my measurements from February 27:
Bust: 34"
Waist: 28.75"
Navel: 30.5"
Hips: 38"
I have a super short waist and I am smallest around my belly button.
chest: 30"
waist (around belly button): 25 3/4"
hips: 33"
Not to sure what's up with my half sizes..lol but here are my measurements
chest:33.5
waist: 26.5
hip:35.5
My belly button must be pretty high because its almost at the smallest part, one inch bigger though at 26 inch where my smallest is 25 (on a good non-bloaty day LOL!)
my chest is 34 and hips are 34 would like to add a bit tthose measurements though without increasing my waist not sure if it's possible but maybe bulking slowly and then cutting a bit later since I usually gain and lose weight off my tummy the easiest.
My belly button is at my waist line. I think everyone's belly buttons will vary in positioning so it doesn't seem like a great area for comparison. =P
Just chipping in...
Waist ~ belly button... 27.5 (need to work on that)
Hips - 37... that surprised me... it's always been more...
Chest - 34 (bra strap level)

The bigger I get, the smaller my waist gets. I suppose I should be happy :)
24" at the moment...
