I have an hourglass shape and usually lose weight in my waist before anywhere. Today I just took my measurements and my hips are down by 3/4" (YAY!) but my waist has increased by 3/4"!! AK!! Why?! Same tape measure, same person measuring me, same time of day (early morning). I'm confused and frustrated. Has anyone else had this happen to them?

    Period bloat?
    Water retention?
    Bad measuring?

    All of the above plus more food and waste in your intestines.

    Everything all posters already mentioned.

    One time I measured my waist after eating 7 rice cakes and two cups of tea. One inch bigger.

    I've dropped almost two inches off my waist on a longish run. I think three quarters of an inch is probably just "noise" in the system.
