I guess it depends on which calculator you're using. I use the one at The Zone website, and it says to meausure your waist right at the bellybutton, not at the smallest point. I'm hourglass-shaped, so this added a few inches to my "waist" measurement, but I guess if I do it the same way each time, I'll get a more consistent reading.
I like to use this body fat calculator. It explains to you how to do the measurements. You have to register, but thus far, I haven't received any email from them.
