    I've been measuring. Alas, the tape measure appears to be as stubborn as my scale in decreasing numbers...:mad:

    Memaw, I haven't tried measuring my neck. Maybe I will!

    Great idea! I need get my measurements taken. Does anyone watch the show called Bulging Brides? They calculate weight loss and measurements and these brides have to lose inches to fit into their wedding dress in time for the big day. Of course on the show they always fit into their dress and lose what they need within 6 weeks. But I find the show encouraging.

    I want Nadine & Tommy to come and kick my butt and I'm not even getting married!

    How many of you are actually using the tape measure and how often do you do it?

    I get the feeling that a lot of you aren't using it and I think that is a HUGE mistake. The scale can be your worst enemy at times on this journey. Everyone complains that they haven't lost any weight and they get so discouraged.

    So....grab a tape and get to it!! :drinker:
    I use it all the time. Even though the scale numbers are saying I've lost weight, I don't think I'd be all that encouraged without my trusty tape measure! I can't live without it.:flowerforyou:

    Oooooh Pange, just looked that up... myotape looks VERY cool! Is it pretty easy to use? Looks like the most important thing to do is to read the directions on it. Thanks for the idea! Do you happen to know what the max measurement is with that?

    And thanks Marm! Helps to know what to measure!

    I haven't checked mine since April. Thank you for the reminder! I need to try to do it once a month at the very least.

    60" is the max.

    WOOOHOOO IcePrincess!! Keep up the great work! If you do buy one, you might want to look on Amazon, it was less than $5 and came free with a body fat measuring instrument (again less than $5); both options had free shipping with Amazon Prime (free for 3 months if you haven't already used it).

    Thanks again Pange! THAT I can do, but if it were 18 inches or less, I might have isssssssssssues. :laugh: :laugh:
