What I do is take the measurements with a pinch of salt, bit like the scale actually. So for example if I see consistent readings or further drops over several readings, I will believe it. I try to be as consistent as I can, but really think I need one of those myotapes, which seem to solve the problem nicely in giving you the same pressure on the tape each time you use it, unlike ourselves, where it might be slightly tighter or looser each time we measure.
Consistency is really key though, so I only measure at the same times I would weigh, which is in the morning after I've been to the bathroom, but before I've eaten anything. Anything else is a recipe for inconsistent readings if you ask me, but hey, some people like to torture themselves

I didn't read everyone's post but generally speaking, when measuring your waist it's at the point of where your waist creases when you bend over to the right or left. Try to keep it even. I do better when watching myself in a mirror. I always measure in the mornings after using the bathroom, before I put on clothes and I only measure once a week. Here is a link for proper measurements.
