My pants are noticeable more loose so I took some more measurements today. I measure my neck, waist, and hips (the defaults MFP has), but I also measure my bust (I'm female).

For those who take measurements, what do you guys measure?

    Chest, waist, hips, thigh, calf and upper arm. Most important thing is to measure in the same spot each time. Or as close to as possible.

    Bust, chest (under the bust), waist, hips, thighs, calves and upper arms.

    I've lost 8 1/2 inches overall, so far! :bigsmile:
