It is usually the narrowest part of the stomach and located slightly above your belly button. See number (3) on this diagram: http://content.next.co.uk/images/help/szw1.jpg

According by my-calorie-counter you should measure your waist line about two inches above your hip bone. Feel for the uppermost part of of your hip or illiac crest on the side of your body below the rib cage. your waist line is about 2 inches up from this point. They also say the most important part if monitering your measurements for weight loss is to measure the same place every time, preferably with the same tape measure.

I think your belt line is your waist. Your hips are the widest part, or at the greater trochanter of the femur (the socket joint of your leg bone). I hope I'm not wrong. If I am, I guess I just waisted your time.

I think it is like your natural bend because when you try bending down the joint under your belly is your waist.

For measurements, it is usually considered 1" above your belly button.

in the middle below your breasts but above your belly button. un fortunatly some don have one but other do, this usually where the term hourglass figure comes in.

The smallest part of your torso, above your hips and below your ribcage.
