Exactly where am I supposed to be putting the measuring tape when measuring my chest/bust area? Under, at the top or across the middle of the breasts? Thanks!!

    I personally measure just under my bust... you could measure all 3 if you really wanted to... I don't really want to lose much actual breast and stick to bra fittings... ie same-ish cup size... I've got a little fat under my boobs I want to see disappear

    Around the fullest part of the bust but you can measure where you want as long as you stay consistent.

    I do underbust (band size) and fullbust (largest part). Last week I lost from the former but not from the latter :D

    As long as you're measuring the same place every time, I'm not sure it's super important. I measure around my ribs just under my breasts and around my breasts at the widest point as well.

    For the bust it should be around the fullest part. I also do the ribcage (where the bra band sits).

    when you are asked what your bust size is, they are asking for the inches across the largest part- which should be along the nip line.

    if you are doing this just for you, under the bust- band size, is a good thing to keep track of. you'll need to know that size when you go to look for a new bra.

    This is an excellent question! Last week I finally measured myself, but I don't quite have the guts to put the measurements on here. I measured around the largest part.

    Can't wait to start seeing inches lost here!!!! :happy:

    The fullest part of your chest which is usually right across your nipples
