? about measurements

[cinmell]

Okay, I feel kind of silly asking this so feel free to laugh at me if you want b/c this may sound like a dumb question . But, for those of you who measure in addition to weigh, what do you measure when it comes to your waist? Do you measure your waist or that annoying tummy bulge right below your waist or both? Do you measure thighs and arms as well?

Thanks in advance and have a great weekend everyone!

we measured chest, waist, hips, thigh, upper arm

the way to find your waist is to bend to the side...where your body bends is your waist.

I measured chest where my bra goes, DH measured his across his chest. Thigh was the fattest part, normally up high on the leg, and bicept was about 1/2 way up.

hope this helps

When I measure my waist/hips I measure 3 things. My waist which is the smallest thing in that general area - basically where my pants waistband is/right at the belly button. I have a bulge both above and below. I measure above my waist as my tummy. I measure below my waist as my hips (whatever is the largest thing in that general hip area). I hope that helps you.

I take two measurements there, too. I measure where my body bends if I lean to the side as my "waist". But I also measure my stomach, too (as a "stomach" measurement). I also do upper thigh and lower thigh. I guess I'm just looking for a loss anywhere I can find it, hee! hee! I also do where the bottom of my bra runs (my ribcage) in addition to a measurement directly across the center of my breasts. Of course, calf & bi-cep measurements, too. I just love Mondays!

I measure bust (fullest part of breast), chest (rib cage where bra band goes), waist (skinniest part of my mid-section), hips (fullest part of my tummy area), thighs (I put my feet together and go around the fullest part of my thighs - the saddlebag area - measuring both together).

Thank you for your responses everyone. It seems like the weight is coming off slowly but clothes definitely fit me differently so I want to start measuring in addition to weighing in each week. I was just curious as to what parts other people measured. Thanks again!
