    Have a quick question about 'waist'....where exactly is that? I've seen others measure waist and belly button.....and for me those are the same. So where is this waist we're measuring? :)

    I actually measure 1" under the navel, 1" above and then the mid-drift just because I like to see the changes! but I guess it's really up to you where you measure the waist.

    Ah! That's a good idea! I measured the narrowest part, but I'm going to get some additional measurements!

    Could be anything, are you drinking enough water, staying within your calorie limits? Don't get discouraged, just keep pushing thru. I bet in a few days you'll be right back down. Just make sure you are getting plenty of water.
