I know this sounds like an idiotic question, but I just got a myofit tape measure and I am trying to do the weigh and measure in thing here. Now the neck is prett simple, as is the waist. My question though is where exactly do I measure for my hips?

    you measure it at the largest area which is usually the middle...same with your bust

    pick a spot, and always measure that same spot... maybe right at your navel, maybe just at your hip bones, maybe right at the top of your pubis.

    Just be consistent each time -- I don't think it really matters where you measure, as long as it is the same place each time.

    You are supposed to go around your butt....That's what hips are :)

    Do you have a regular measuring tape as well? The reason why I'm asking, is because I had a myotype and it didn't last long. After like 4 uses, it broke.
