Measure your waist and the most narrow spot...generally just above your belly button. For hips you measure at the widest spot about your hips, butt, stomach...whatever happens to be there. I have a 14 inch difference between my waist and hips.

If I measure there mine are really far off too. Usually you want to measure around your belly button and the widest part of your hips. If that is where you are measuring it makes sense that those are the measurments you are getting.

It's important you know your body and the importance of measurements. Read about it, do a bit of research, and in the meantime, as you lose weight, keep checking your WHR (waist to hip ratio), a serious indicator of health risk:
