    I do both. They're both important.

    Plus, sometimes the scale doesn't show progress, but the tape will, or vice versa. It double your chances of getting good news!

    I go by weighing...simply because I don't trust my measuring...off the littlest bit and the number is different. I wish there was an foolproof method...that was affordable :wink:

    i agree that the tape gives better resutls but it does have its downfall too like scales so i go by both to keep me motivated :flowerforyou:

    Same for me... I was driving myself crazy trying to measure myself because I could never remember exactly where/how I measured the 1st time and even a tiny difference can cause a change in the measurement. Because of that, I mostly try to go by what the scale says and how my clothes are fitting. I know I've lost inches around the waist, because my pants are getting loose and I'm going to need to buy new belts soon - getting toward the end of the notches in my old ones! I'll probably try and measure here soon - since it's been like, 2 months since my first set of measurements.

  • I like to get the full picture. Weight, measurments and fat%.
