Measuring your Weight Loss

So of course a lot of people measure their weight loss by way of how much they weigh. And I do keep account of my weight. However, I pay more attention to my measurements. Like how many inches does my waist, hips, thighs measure. I find that sometimes I'll gain weight even though I have gotten smaller so I like keeping track of both.

So my question is for all of you guys that measure like I do...what do you measure?

I've been measuring:

neck
arm
chest
under the bust
waist
hips
thigh
calve

I'm thinking of cutting the calves out and the neck out of my measurements.

What do you measure?

    I measure exactly what you do - only my left limbs rather than both

    I measure lots...

    Neck, bust, braline (under bust), waist, navel (high hip), low hip, top of thighs, mid-thighs, calves, ankles, biceps, forearms, wrists.

    Please measure BOTH left & right if you have two of something - they are not always the same. In fact, in my experience, they are usually different. Added bonus - you get to count the loss from both right & left! lol...

    I measure it all. I tend to only measure after a period of low or no weight loss. It keeps me going. So, on those weeks when I don't loose weight. I can then discover how much smaller I actually am.
