How often do you guys take measurements? I took measurements for the first time last night and was kind of flabbergasted at my measurements.

    I try to do mine about once a month sometimes every 3 weeks.

    Thank you. I was thinking about the same time frame because I feel like once a week would be too often.

  • My trainer and I do my measurements every four weeks and weigh in's every two weeks!

    I do mine weekly after weighing myself. I enjoy doing so because I can see progress each week; sometimes it's not on the scale but in my measurements, sometimes vice versa.

    I would say no more than once a month (at the same time of the month - not around THAT time LOL). Now that I'm close to goal, I find that once a month doesn't usually show progress so I've kind of gone to every other month.

    I do mine every week when I weight in-although now I'm going to every 2 weeks

    On the first of the month.

    Every 2 weeks if I'm feeling frustrated at the weight not coming off, and then i can usually see a little differenc ein the measuerments.

    Like the numbers on a scale, these can vary as well. I don't take measurements.

    I not only take measurements every 3-4 weeks, but PHOTO JOURNAL your entire weight loss journey!!!! It will keep you motivated and moving. Just the difference in my face alone is ridiculous! Good luck!

    I like the photo journal idea.
