When people say they've lost ___ total inches, where are those inches measured? I'm assuming waist, hips/bum, anywhere else?

I started doing this and began measuring all kinds of places (ie. arms, thighs)...then I thought- if I have a huge list of measurements I'd only have to lose a tiny bit to get a huge total loss...LOL...:rolleyes2:duh, there must be a standard list, right?

my trainer measures:

neck

forearm / bicep

waist

hip

thigh

calf

it's a really good idea to take measurements - they help you from going crazy when the scale doesn't want to move...

I measure the above too, but minus the neck.

So really? There's no "standard"? Thanks!

Hmm...ankles, thumbs, knees, earlobes,....those 1/8" are going to start adding up (Today=253" lost! Hee-hee).

I have a Realize band and the site has you measure the same as what luluc listed but adding in the bust.
