    I always measure the smallest part of my waist. I pick up all the fat stuff when I measure my hips.

    I would also say at the smallest part of your waistline. Unless you are measuring to find clothes that will fit where your belt lays. Honestly I've always had the same problem trying to figure this one out.

    Your waist is technically the smallest part of your torso. You can also measure your belly which is across your belly button.
