    Waist is more important in my opinion, since lean muscle weights more than fat.

    At this point, weight is more important to me. My waist doesn't change much and even knowing what it is, there's not much I can DO about it. Weight, OTOH, is my only clue into energy balance and much more actionable.

    Waist. But usually can't get there without spending time on weight.

    I'm the only person who sees my scale weight but everyone sees my waist size - so waist matters more.

    Waist for me, because I am built straight up and down, and put fat mostly lower belly... So if my hip measurement and weight increases but waist holds steady I think that's muscle (more butt!). Not sure that would work for curvy build, some ladies stay small in the waist even when they get fatter.
