I have tried to look this up both through Google and this forum.

What do I need to know about a king and tracking body measurements? I gather I will measure my bust, waist, hips, arms and calfs. Where on my thigh do I measure? Did I miss anything?

Also, when people say I lost X amount of inches, is this from all the measurements added up? How do I know what I am aiming for?

TIA :-)

Hello!

I use myfitnesspal to keep track of my measurements, though I do have a record of more in-depth measurements that I update once a year on my surgery date. MFP keeps track of the basics, like waist, hips, neck, and give you an option to see graphs of your records and so on. When I am asked how many inches I lost, I say "x inches around the waist, x inches around the hips" and so on.

I measured:

neck

upper arm

bust

chest (just under my bra)

waist

thigh

calf

ankle

wrist

Just pick a spot on your upper arm/thigh/calf and measure that spot each time. I picked the largest area on each. I've been stuck at the same 2-3 lbs for 2 months and doing my measurements allowed me to see that I'm still losing inches even though my weight loss has stalled for the time being.

I never thought of neck!

I have my fitness pal and can not seem to locate where to put measurements? Is it possible you paid for an extended version of the app?

@"RJrocks", I had to use the computer version to add measurements to track. You can't add them on the app. However, once you add them on the website, you will see them on the app.

I like Fitstream. It reminds exactly where to measure for a consistent measurement!! iOS link below.
