No you can't pinch an inch on meeeee!

So... I am sitting here reading email, absentmindedly pinching the side of my waist in order, I guess, to see how many inches I can pinch. Know how many I came up with? None! It turns out that when your belly is distended and stretching your skin all taut-like, there’s nothing left over to pinch. For the first time in months, I feel skinny!

i hated that dern special K commercial. i've always checked to see if i can 'pinch an inch'.... perhaps i'm just one of those people who has a lot of skin....that could cause me to pinch an inch, right? it's just SKIN after all...not fat. :)

Yeah I don't think "pinch an inch" is considered an accurate measurement anymore.

Besides, I know many many ppl that will insist the only true accurate way to measure body fat is water displacement.

I knew a guy in the Navy that was being kicked out for being overweight. He claimed he was contesting it by demanding such a test. I never knew what happened to that guy. I guess he got kicked out after all. He was pretty fat and I could tell that by looking at him.

I could pinch a foot when I was as pregnant as you.. at least on my a$$. Taut was not a word that was ever used to describe my hindquarters. Moooo!
