Hi again Susan,
I measure waist, but I mean the belly. There is even two kinds of abdominal fat: there is "fat around the abdomen" (the belly you can squeeze), and fat inside the abdomen (visceral fat).
Not sure if I remember it right, but I think visceral fat is the nasty one for cardiovascular disease and diabetes. It's also the one fenugreek and goat's rue and nigella sativa and omega-3 fatty acids (flax, fish) do something about.
When I measure on Monday, I will check if it's going in the right direction. Even if my weight is still too high, I hope my waist hip ratio has gone down
