neck measurements

Haha! I thought the same thing and then figured out I could delete that measurement - as it doesn't apply to me/I am not worried about my neck size! I added upper arm, upper thigh, bmi, and bust to my measurements. So, bust, waist, hips, upper arm, upper thigh, and bmi. That is what I want to measure monthly.

Larger neck size in comparison to the rest of your body is one of the risk signs for heart disease. Waist and hips mean absolutely nothing other than being one method for determining risk for heart disease, also.

Neck measurements are used in most of the calculations to estimate body fat which are in turn used to estimate your BMR which in turn estimates the calories you should be eating. I actually do not think that MFP uses the BMR model that has BF as an input so I am not sure why it asks for it specifically. You can always change what you measure if you do not find it useful.

Wait, you can change them?

If you go tonthe check-in page at the bottom there is a 'track additional measurements' link

Well I love that I have lost inches in my neck! But the problem I have had is I measured then remeasured and entered the information, and the first set of measurements are no where to be found. Does anyone know how to look up past measurements from neck waist ect.?

Go to your "My Home" tab and click into "Check-In" - at the bottom of the table there is an 'edit previous measurements' link - click on it and it will give you your history.
