Get your bodyfat percentage measured by someone with the proper equipment. As for the looking skinny but stomach looking big; I think we are pre-disposed to store fat here so even if the rest of your body seems to be toned there may be a little fat here. We cant spot burn fat unfortunately either. What are your goals if any and fill in your profile. Tell us more..........

Remeber it is only computer software, but you can go back anytime to make a comparison and see your progress. It will give you a guide if your gaining or losing. -------------- Scales are for dead weight: We are not dead yet! Still trying to find out how to do the Hollywood Free Press.
