Ok so I measured my hips and waist earlier today (about 2pm) and logged 35.4in waist and 43in hips. Measured again tonight after bath and waist was 34.5 and hips 41!!!!! which do I believe?????

So as these were conflicting, I decided to measure again after tea n see what i came up with. I have now measured my waist 38INCHES and my hips 44INCHES!!!!!!!

    Go with the first one. This is like weighing multiple times a day, a waste of time. Take the measurements and check them again in 2 weeks at about the same time of day you did this time. That way you avoid those fluctuations throughout the day.

    I hadn't planned to measure even twice but i just decided to double-check i'd got my measurements right. Obviously i want to trust the second measurement as its the smallest lol. Could the bigger ones have been water bloating or something?

    I always double check my measurements, but at the same time. So I will measure everything, write it down, and measure again. And I do it in the mirror to try and make sure I am measuring in the same place every time.
