How often to you do your measurements?
I forgot to do my measurements until today. Never done it much. Just curious how often you all measure? I was thinking like once a month. I know, silly question! Just wondering.

I have always done it once a month. :)

I forgot to do any measurements.
Out of curiosity...what do you measure? |
I do mine every 8 weeks. Upper arms, forearms, thighs, calves, hips, abdomen, waist. It's really motivating, especially when the scales aren't playing!
|
I'm a once a month girl!
|
I try on my "skinny jeans" at least once a week, and I measure my arms a few times per week, but that is to reassure myself that I am not LOSING too much size on them.
|
I never think about taking my measurements. I will start next month and do it every 8 weeks. It is difficult when you know you're doing everything you are supposed to and it is not evident on the scale. I do try on old clothes too and that lets me know.

bust: 45 waist: 41 hips: 48 Pretty blah, huh! My arms will be a special challenge! I have HUGE upper arms. Way out of proportion. Even on an obese person, I think. They measure 18 and 19 inches!:o Which happens to be the same number on my calves.:?: What were your numbers? -Nori |
I check the clothes in my closet that have gotten too small. I can pretty much figure right now what I weighed when I wore them so I try them occasionally if I am getting closer. My green sweater looks better after only 6 pounds.

Nori,
I have super duper upper arms, too. :( At my highest (around 213 pounds), they were 17 1/2 inches in diameter. They were, by far, my biggest hang up about my body. I hadn't been sleeveless in public since about the age of 6. There's good news, though! At 168 pounds, they've shrunk considerably. They measure about 13 3/4 inches now. Still considerably bigger than average, but I went to a formal Christmas party wearing a sleeveless (and backless! :o ) halter dress this year, and it was a big victory. Hang in there, girl! ;) As for me, I measure whenever I think about it, usually once a month or so - or if I'm feeling particularly skinny :D cheers! :hat: paula |

I do it once a month too. I started every week, but didn't see the point..once a month shows more change :)
|
Monthly here too. I mainly watch the measurements of my bust, abdomen, hips, and thighs. The rest (arms, calves, etc) don't bother me.
|
I used to do them every month, but I've got out of the habit. I occasionally do them when I'm looking at the websites of clothes shops to see what size I am, but I tend to go more by the fit of stuff I try on than the numbers on a tape measure.

Once a month :)
