Waist size? New goal.

I just read a CNN article that says that waist size is a big predictor of diabetes. Basically, anything 35" and above for a woman spells trouble. I just measured mine, in the usual place--across the belly button--and came up with 38, but according to this article, you should be measuring the narrowest part, or if you don't have a "natural waistline," where your elbows are. I had kind of suspected I should be using the "narrowest" part, but for me that falls kind of high, and I thought it might be cheating. Not so, apparently. My "natural waist" is 36.

So, my new goal--in addition to getting into the 160s this month--is to get my waist under 35". I don't know how long that takes, so I'll say it's a summer goal.
