What do you measure...?

I'm going to try and dig out a measuring tape this evening and measure myself so I can track inches as well as pounds (incidentally, I'm down 3 lbs since I started "stuffing myself" three days ago... bizarre and amazing). Anyway, what all should I measure?

    I measure several points, because the more places you check, the better overall idea you can get about your losses. "bust, waist, hips" only tells part of the story, so I do neck, bust, waist, belly button, hips, right thigh, right calf, and right bicep. Sort of an all over look, and shows me where the fat is coming from first.

    Oh wow, that is amazing!!! I hope you updated the weigh in/ measurements page.

    Thanks. A 3 lb fluctuation isn't that unheard of for me, but it certainly wasn't in the direction I was expecting for just starting out on the increased calories. I was definitely expecting to see a slight gain at first.
