I think it's a great idea. I don't know how to do my measurements and am terrified to see them. My weight is 200 pounds. My ultimate goal is somewhere in the 130-140 range. As for my measurements- do you think a regular tape measure will work??

sounds good

The plastic kind of tape measure you can find in a fabric or craft store, not the metal ones uses for construction and found at home depot- they wont bend properly for accurate measurements.

On your profile, the page where you enter your weight you can also do add in your measurements, adding more if you want. I have neck, waist, thigh, hip and arm(Im trying to get rid of my 'bingo wings' so I added arm measurement)
Here are some tips I found online

Bust/chest:Measure around the chest right at the nipple line, but don't pull the tape too tight.
Waist: Measure a half-inch above your belly button or at the smallest part of your waist ( I did it AT my belly button to be accurate every time, not sure I would get 1/2" correctly)
Hips: Place tape measure around the biggest part of your hips( read: across the wide part of your butt)
Thighs: Measure around the biggest part of each thigh
Upper arm: Measure around the largest part of each arm above the elbow

hope this helps theres tons of images and charts online too

THANKS FOR THE CHART!!!! That will make it easier

I'm thinking we should post at the start, midpoint and end. That way we have sometime for our bodies to work off those inches. Just my suggestion......

bust 38
waist 33 (most narrow part – above belly button)
love handles 37
hips 40.5
thigh 24.5
arm 12
weight 154 (as of Tues. Jan 29)

I agree start mid way and end. Will post my figures soon,

I'm waiting for my DVD to he delivered! Hopefully by Feb 5th if amazon is correct! Once I get it, I will post away with accurate measurements!

You can still start on tomorrow, watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ve-WiQKi_W8
