    I like it! I'm in a September-burn 5000cal/wk challenge already so this will fit right in!

    Waist- 29 1/2 inch
    Around belly button- 37 inch
    Hips- 41 1/4 inch


    My belly button has been eaten by saggy skin. I have read that to do anything with the skin you need to flatten it and loose excess fat. I'll do a before and after pic

    Waist: 28.5
    Belly button 32.5
    Between belly button and hips: 35
    Hips 34.5

    Must say I'm a bit confused about taking hip measurements, whereabouts is everyone actually measuring, the smallest area?

    I also have a bit of tummy between my belly button and hips that is bigger than the belly button measurement, think i'll add that too...or are they my hips??!

    Hips are around the largest bit so low you include some of the bum. I can't remember where I found that out but I was surprised because I had previously measured the smallest area

    Hmm. Perhaps you could post a hologram? :laugh:

    I understand your issue though - why not say '2 inches down from belly button' or however far it is?

    I'm in and my belly will be out! xD
    I just joined few days ago, and have never been 'in' something, so I don't know what the procedure is..
    will there be certain training you propose that everyone can follow, and a scheme like twice a day or such?

    Anyway, my measures:

    Waist: 83cm
    Belly button 90cm
    Between belly button and hips: 103cm
    Hips 110cm

    my hips are as large as my little cousin is high. XD

    Welcome applechild! There are no official procedures in fact - we've just worked out for ourselves how we think we should approach it. Originally we were thinking of all following the same exercise programme, but it turned out that everybody has different options available, different preferences etc, so we are all doing our own thing exercise-wise, and just record how many calories we burn. As an example, I have several different workout dvds, and I'll be mixing them up. I also use an exercise bike. Other people prefer to go to the gym, or do exercises of their own at home. You will find most exercise has the calorie burn listed in the MFP database, but if it isn't there, you can add it. But many of us use Heart Rate Monitors to try and get an accurate reading fo the calorie burn. The important thing is to post your total calorie burn for the whole week every Tuesday - should be easy if you've recorded everything in your diary (you can just look back and add it up). Keep a check on measurements too. Who knows, you could be the one to win the holiday in Thailand ... only joking, sorry! :laugh:

    Post your measurements of waist at thinnest, belly button and hips...post a pic too if you're brave enough...so far no one has been lol!! I've taken before pics and put them on my profile.

    Record calories you burn through exercise and then post the weeks total on here every Tuesday.

    Keep us updated of progress made...i'm sure we'll all be making loads of these!!!

    I use cm the number was very high when I switched from where my bikini sits to around the toosh too. Ah inches....a great wat to make any metric user feel smaller.

    I will put my pics up if you like (was thinking of waiting for a
    after pic first) I just am using the phone so will do it when I
    on the computer.

    I realise that this doesn't sound like I have much of a belly, but it does wobble, I promise. I also have a small frame. Oh, and I should add that I haven't had any children.

    Me too, strange isn't it? And yet I've seen success stories on here, of people with my height, weighing a good 20lbs more, with no belly! Sometimes big bones/frame seem to help people carry weight better.
