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.0 -

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.0 -
