    i havent yet, but im thinking of doing it once a month. because i know i wont always show weightloss on the scale, so seeing inches lost could help keep me motivated

    My gym does body assessments every 6 weeks with weight, measurements and BF, and you can reassess your fitness goals. My first assessment is coming up in 2 weeks. Hoping to see smaller measurements everywhere but biceps and thighs, and a decrease in BF!

    I wouldn't bother doing it anymore frequently than once a month - it gives time for your body to fluctuate and you to see real results. And I find you don't feel so guilty about one bad day, or alternatively, so good about having one good day!

    I do it monthly. I don't really see the point in doing it any more than that...
