Hi there folks! Was wondering, for those of you who take measurements, how often do you take them? And what areas do you measure?

I do mine for every 10 pounds or so that I lose, or if I'm about to order clothes online (so I can look at the measurement chart and order the right size). I measure bust, underbust, waist, hips.0

I Measure:
Bicep (upper arm)
Bust
Hips
Thigh
Waist
Calf0 -

Right Bicep (fullest point)
Right Forearm (fullest point)
Waist (point where I bend, above belly button but below ribs)
Abdomen @ Navel
Hips (fullest point)
Right Thigh
Right Calf (fullest point)0 -

YAY! I'm not the only one who does this! I do the EXACT same thing (I measure both legs. I assume you do too, but thought I'd add that.) and I do it once a week. It's really helped me to keep track of where I'm losing and keeping weight and how much (or unfortunately sometimes how little) I'm losing.0 -
Once a month, and I measure:
Bust
Waist at my belly button
Hips at my bum
Top of my right thigh
Top of my right arm0 -
I like a few people here take my measurements once a month, (I also weigh in once a month). I take the following measurements (in my words and not technical terms)
Neck
Upper bust
Bust
Lower bust
Waist
Hips
Butt
Thighs
Knees
Ankles
Upper arms
Wrists
Also take photos when I do the measurements.
Hope this helps!0 -
