How do you take your measurements?
I know it should be simple, but I've noticed that I can take my measurements several times with varying results. For example, if I look down at the tape measure, it tenses my mucles and draws my stomach in slightly. If I don't breathe out first I'm likely to subconsciously hold my stomach in a little. I could hold the tape measure a little tighter one week or looser the next...
So when I take my measurements I make sure I breathe out, look forward and take a few measurements until I get a couple that match.
How do You do yours so that you know they are right?
