Tracking/Logging Measurements Help

JoDavo66

I've recently found where to track measurements but the list is ;
Neck
Waist
Hips
I want to know if neck can be changed to chest/bust.
Can that be done & if so how?

I don't think it can be changed, but there is nothing stopping you from tracking it with a spreadsheet or (gasp) piece of paper!

PS. If you are really brave, add a caliper pinch test. Not for the faint of heart!

Wishing you an overabundance of body positivity!

Good question. I once managed to add custom measurements. I'm not sure if this is still possible. But I'm super annoyed by this as I don't seem to be able to delete this. It doesn't matter in everyday live, but if I want to look at some charts, or edit weight measurements (typo) then it's a nuisance for me as there are something like 14 additional measurement options which are just in the way

btw, I found measurements over the breasts to be rather useless as the result varied a lot with room temperature

Have you tried the following on the web version rather than the phone app?

Home page / Check-in / Track Additional Measurements

I tracked:
Neck
Waist
Chest
Bicep
Body Fat %
Thigh

Personal experience was neck measurement was a waste of time as very hard to be consistent as my traps changed - "coke bottle shoulders".

Wish I had tracked calf muscle size - I'm a cyclist.

Progress photos are also good as measurements don't tell the whole picture e.g. chest measurement was the same but photo showed bigger lats and improved leanness.

I use the computer web version and not the app, though once you change it on the web version it will show up in the app (I changed mine to bust, waist, high waist for my muffin top, and hips).

Go to My Home - Check In - Track Additional Measurements. You should be able to delete existing entries and add a new one by typing a description in the box and clicking Add Measurement.

I did the same as Bmeadows380. I used the online version to remove the neck measurement and add thigh and upper arms for myself.

Thanks @sijomial @bmeadows380 @kclittles thanks. I'll have a look at the on-line version
I totally agree with neck- unless you're monitoring your shirt collar size- which is meaningless to me as a female.
Definitely was to add extra parts if I can.
Do these carry over onto the app if you set it us on the website?
Thank you.

@JoDavo66 Yes; once you set them on the website and sync the app, they'll appear on your phone

I stand corrected! Nice to learn something new.
