Body measurements

Hey all I’m still getting used to figuring out all that is included in this app. I’m not seeing anywhere that I can track body measurements like inches lost/gained.. is there a place to do that in MFP? If not, does anyone have a good suggestion on an app you use to measure your progress?
I love having more than one visual to track my progress! Thanks in advance!

Sure, you can track measurements on MFP. In the app, go to Progress and switch from weight to another metric and then tap on the + sign to enter the measurement.
Standard measurements are neck, waist and hips, but you can create custom ones too.
You'll need to go through the desktop/browser version of MFP:
- to create a new metric you want to track (after that, you can enter measurements via the app): https://www.myfitnesspal.com/measurements/change
- to enter historical data (the app only allows you to enter today's measurements): https://www.myfitnesspal.com/measurements/edit
