I can...it's squishy but I can.

Nik, when I was sewing ice skating costumes, we were taught to tie a string a little bit loosely (like enough to get a couple fingers under it without really sucking in the gut) at the general waist area, then have the skater bend from side to side a couple times. The string would come to rest at the waist so that we could calculate crotch depth.
Still seems to work for me.

That feels more accurate than being "overweight" by a mere 3lbs according to the old BMI calculator. 
According to the BMI, Waist/height, EVERYTHING...I am overweight.
I have resolved that as a result of RNY I am still a fat girl just a much smaller fat girl. That makes me feel better for some reason.

Ummmm... #1 that is where you are SUPPOSED to vehemently disagree with the notion that I am fat...(girlfriend rule #4598765 in the manual...)
#2 - Skinny is overrated I think. I'd like to be fit but I'll probably never be skinny. I was mad about that for a minute. Most days now I'm over it.
