You probably want body fat percentage, though that's the whole body
rather than belly in particular. The gold standard is water
immersion.
Protein Power by Drs Eades has a chapter about taking measurements
to calculate it.

My stomach is where I carry most of my fat. I want to try and measure
my
stomach as it is and calculate the number of pounds of fat in there
that I
have to lose.

Look at a pound of butter. It is a pound of fat.

actually it is 0.8 pounds of fat and 0.2 pounds of water.

What's your friggin' point? A lb of butter is a pretty decent
representation of what a lb of bodyfat looks like. I'm guessing that
bodyfat has even more water by volume, but is it really necessary to have
an EXACT representation?
What was your point invoking butter to compare to body fat? Butter is not
pure fat. Why didn't you say a pound of crisco? or a pint of olive oil?

No big deal, just picking a nit, being pedantic, pulling your chain.

geesh, I'll leave the highly technical stuff to you...

We've seen pictures of Jesus in various races, but I have never seen a fat
Jesus painting or sculpture. This sounds like an idea for a Monty Python
skit of the last supper.

Surely, I'll lose some fat from other places along the way, and some
muscle too. So I'll throw in a fudge factor of some sort and see what I
come up with.

Thanks!

The "mass of fat" is a splinter cult ritual that broke off from the
church
of Satan about 5 years ago. They no longer sacrifice virgins. Capturing
the most obese is key to filling the alter, and keeping the pentagram
fires
lit with a fresh supply of human tallow.

Actually, you don't have to even form a splinter group. If you believe
in the Holy Sacrament as practiced by the church and
Transubstantiation, you are already eating the blood and body of
Christ. The debate is still on whether he was obese or not, but there
is some reference to him being gluttonous in the Bible. dkw

Finally went to see the doc today. He says its probably related to my old
hernias, but is sending me to ultrasound & a specialist anyway. Says it
doesn't look or feel at all like "c", but that I have to do the testing
anyway.

You'll feel better once it is checked out and you know what's what.
Not knowing just leads to stress and possibly unneccessary concern.

Good luck!
