Does anyone have any pointers? A website that explains how really well?

I haven't done much measuring of myself and my progress but I want to.

Thanks.

    Just found this, which is what I've done before.

    Bust: Measure around the chest right at the nipple line, but don't pull the tape too tight.
    Chest: Measure just under your bust
    Waist: Measure a half-inch above your belly button or at the smallest part of your waist
    Hips: Place tape measure around the biggest part of your hips
    Thighs: Measure around the biggest part of each thigh
    Calves: Measure around the largest part of each calf
    Upper arm: Measure around the largest part of each arm above the elbow
    Forearm: Measure around the largest part of the arm below the elbow.

    If the sole purpose is judging your progress, it doesn't really matter where you take measurements so long as you're consistent.
