Measurements

Can anyone help with where exactly should we measure for waist, hips, and neck? ....I think mine all roll into one...lol

Hi,

I'm not sure about the neck measurement (maybe at the mid-point?) but waist is usually at the belly button and hips at the hip joints (a few inches below the belly button). I have been tracking bust/waist/hip/thigh and they fluctuate quite a bit. Sometimes I'll be down weight but up in measurements.

I measure them at the largest part.

I think that's normal when we are overweight. I don't worry about what is "right" as much as I worry about being consistent. I also take extra measurements. I always measure my hips at the widest point (where the reading is the highest). For my waist, I measure the narrowest point. But, I also measure the widest point of each roll (Yes, I had more than one when I stated, but I'm a lot closer to one now than when I started). Hope that makes sense and no one I know reads this.

I don't know much about measuring, but I was once told that to measure your waist you have to bend to the side...and where you bend is where your waist is. I have no idea if that is true...but I figured I would through it out there.

Just be consistent. If you measure at the belly button today, measure at the belly button next time. Simple as that.
