    Starting waist: 32" above navel, 35" at navel, 161lbs, 5'6"
    Current waist: 27" above navel, 27.5" at navel @‌ 137lbs
    Goal waist: ??? I surpassed my 28" goal, didn't think 27" was even possible for me (my torso and rib cage is broad from the front view); maybe 26", but 27" is amazing, too!

    My narrowest point hasn't changed during the loss; always about 1.5" above my navel. But I also take the navel measurement, as I've actually seen the greatest improvement in that spot (my navel is the center of my "mommy tummy", looks like a donut ;) ).

    Oh my gosh, I have the donut mummy tummy too, lol. After four kids I guess I deserve it. I actually think of it as a rubber tube. Wow, 27" is awesome.

    5'7" 153lbs
    Below belly button: 26
    Smallest part: 23
    (I have a very small waist)
    Oh my gosh. Yes, that's tiny. I would love to have a tinier waist, if I can still have good size hips.

    Currently 5'8" 175lbs, 32"

    Started at 296lbs, 50" waist

    Goal weight 140 lbs (maybe), waist - no idea - I had a 26" waist when I was 15 and weighed 116... Measured at narrowest part. My bellybutton is lower than my hip bone, so my bellybutton measurement is the same as my hip measurement (40", down from 60").

    That's great progress!

    I'm 5'6". I was a fitness model in my early 20s and at that time my waist was about 23 inches. I was 34/23/34. I'm now 36, and I'd love to get close to that. I would be thrilled to get to 36/26/36. I'm currently 36/27/39. I always lose it last from my hips. I currently weigh 139, and imagine my end weight will be 127-130.

    My starting waist was 28, but it's currently 23, I would love to have a 20 inch waist like Audrey Hepburn, but that's probably unrealistic and I'm not set on that or anything. Haha I'd like to lose another inch though.

    I'm 5'6 & 119 lbs.

    I'm a 5'6" pear shape with a larger frame. My last measurements were at
    200.8 lbs
    narrowest point waist 32"
    below belly button 40"
    hips 46"

    I wish I had weighed and done measurements better. I started exercising last June and maintained weight, but definitely lost some belly inches. Whoo!

    At this point, my goal is getting in the 20s for waist size and 30s for hips.

    I have no idea what my waist measurement is - probably 28? Maybe 27? That's just a guess, though. I have a flat stomach, but not a tiny, wasp-waist. I'm a size 6, 5'7" and 130 pounds if that helps...
